RE: I like Denzel but it’s a myth that Hannibal was black.
Hannibal was born in what is present-day northern Tunisia. Hannibal was a member of the Carthaginian civilization, one of many Mediterranean regions colonised by the Canaanites from their homelands in Phoenicia, a region corresponding with the Mediterranean coasts of modern Lebanon and Syria.
The Carthaginians were a mix of Phoenician, Berber, and other Mediterranean peoples. So, Hannibal’s race can be described as Carthaginian or Punic, with a diverse Mediterranean ancestry.
It’s hard to imagine how Hannibal would have looked like. Dark skin is a possibility but a lighter skin is also possible.
Dark is possible but light is also possible and lighter or darker is also possible notwithstanding that a lighter dark or a darker light is possible and maybe a really dark dark or a very light light is or are possible.
