Mountain | reviews | videos | photos

1. "The 1st Punic War ended in a military draw" Hilarious. Rome won the 1st Punic War and dictated the terms to Carthage.
2. WTF !! hannibal was white , please let him for carthagians for tunisians , he is our legend and just one thing for the black people who say hannibal was from AFRICA : you know what mean AFRICA??? it was the name of Tunisia (carthage) before all the continent taked this name (ifriqia) so yes hannibal was african , tunisian , white and black people was been slaves in carthage they never was the tunisian's people or north african's people .. we don't hate you but please let our history for us .. (sorry for my bad english)
3. A documentary demonises Hannibal ..
   The Implications: North Africans are savages whereas Romans are civilised.
   Reminder: The History of the Punic Wars was written down by The Romans, We don't have the Carthaginian version.
4. I don't particularly see why Hannibal ran from Scipio into the alps when he outnumbered him 5 to 1. Given what Hannibal did to much larger armies later on, you'd think he'd have no problem crushing Scipio's force and killing Rome's most talented commander.
5. Scipio was far a better general....
6. The greatest Semite general of all times, second only to Alexander the Great from Greece.

9. Hannibal had more hair on his head... (leastwise on his statue)
10. Europe is named after an African princess Europa. The term "Africa" means Opher which is "Black". The most ancient European civilization was the Greeks and they wrote marvelous things about the Nubians. Cush was the original name of the land and people. Research the Aethiopis for all you bigoted why is Hannibal "Black/Nigger" people. The book of Acts13:1
11. in my opinion hannibal should have sieges rome should have acted like he was then when the Roman army would recall to defend rome the kill them like he did in the ambush at the defile
12. Doesn't even mention that Hannibal was absolutely destroyed by Scipio at Zama... and that Hannibal was forced to return to Carthage not because he just gave up on his quest to destroy Rome, but because Scipio's invasion of Africa forced Carthage to recall him...
13. Hannibal should have marched on to Rome. Encircling it and eventually starving it. Apparently, there were one million Romans in the city. That's a lot to feed and entertain, the Roman way of life would of ended. Hannibal would of been in a better position than Rome. Hannibal would of been in a superior position than any Roman senator, any Roman. He was in a position to bring the pos Roman senators to their knees. Being surrounded and starving would of been unacceptable to the Romans. That would of been their undoing. Why Hannibal ? Why ?
14. I got to say I do like my Hannibal in my rome 2 campaign to be that white bearded man lol.
15. So? who is the most talented general and leader of armies? Hannibal or Alexander the Great?... the face off of the two would gave a tromendous derby.
    
    Surely the two of the top 3 general of the antiquity.
    
    To me: 1st Alexander the great, 2nd Hannibal Barca, 3rd Miltiades of Athens.
    
    But that's just me.
16. 36:45 god that's brilliant ..
17. see! we built da' pyrrrrmiids! We wuz kangs! I done an' knowed it!
18. This was a wonderful historical TV show with interesting commentators and brilliant fighting choreography. They don't make them like these anymore.
19. WE WUZ HANNIBAL N SHiET
20. GOD I MISS THESE!!!
    It was programming like this that made the history channel great. and Battles BC was probably one of the best series they ever did. I was so pissed when they stopped. but that was right around the time that most of the discovery networks turned into pseudo-reality-tv abominations not even worth the air they were broadcast through.
