I'll watch because I don't think I've seen a Denzel movie I didn't like but he's almost 70

I learned about Ancient Rome in 5th Grade Gifted class so I'm looking forward to this

Denzel in these type of period roles hasn’t disappointed yet so I’m in.

Cubans have some West African dna (Yoruba) who also have connections with the Phoenicians.

Lol we didn't get too deep into it, we were only 5th graders. Still wish I had that binder full of Ancient Rome things from that class

This project has been cooking for over 20 years

Vin Diesel at 1 point also wanted to play Hannibal in his own movie

Just thought I slip in a little knowledge.
Santeria has Canaanite/ Phoenician customs just like voodoo but that's another topic I guess.
Ok, carry on.

Cleopatra wasn't black, nor was she an egyptian. She looked at herself as a greek because she was an inbred greek

Hannibal though, was most likely black if not a deep Arab brown

North Africans might be pissed. Can’t wait.

This. I'm betting Hannibal looked more like a typical North African today, probably a little darker. I doubt he looked like Denzel, but I'm pretty sure he didn't look like whoever the white racists would cast either.

This is why history needs to be taught more effectively in school. Considering the Phoenicians were a power in the Mediterranean, there exists a minute possibility that Hannibal could have been considered white and I only cede that point because Greece was a power in the Mediterranean. Also, Carthage developed into an empire because it began as a trading outpost of the Phoenicians who originated from the Eastern Coast of the Mediterranean of the Levant. Also, there aren't even any contemporary depictions of Hannibal. Posting a white picture of Hannibal and bitching is like posting a picture of white jesus.
