Hannibal: The New Evidence 1x46

Hannibal is one of history’s most famous generals and was the mastermind behind the most audacious military operation the world has ever seen. He crossed the Alps in 16 days with his vast army of 30,000 troops, 15,000 horses, and 37 elephants to launch an attack on Rome from the north. It was a genius move and has captured the imagination of generations ever since, but no physical evidence of Hannibal’s army has been found in the Alps and the truth behind his expedition is one of history’s greatest mysteries. Now, in this landmark film from Secrets of the Dead, a group of scientists and archeologists are mounting an epic expedition to answer these questions once and for all. Their research is cutting-edge and promises to uncover an explosive new story that could rewrite history, blowing open everything we thought we knew about Hannibal.
