New TV miniseries about Hannibal

[Marc]

Hannibal was a descendant of royalty, and the first people to begin Carthage were Phoenician nobles as I recall. He was more middle eastern/Mediterranean than anything. Still dark skinned, just not full blown black.

I'm sure the producers can find at least one Lebanese actor who'd be perfect for the role if they try.

I'm also sure they will not try.

We have no idea how people look liked 2000 years ago in North Africa. They could have been black, slightly coloured, even white. After so many mass movements of people they could have looked a million ways.

We simply do not know what skincolor Hannibal or Cleopatra had, we can make assumptions, and we all know who the mother of all f*ck ups is...
