Boromir's guess the famous game #389 [Hannibal Barca is the famous person, Carrot wins!]


I'm thinking of some famous figure, it can be a philosopher, politician, entertainer, scientist, fictional character, criminal, animal, being, etc.
2. You need to ask me a yes or no question about this person, for example, "Is the person still alive?," "Does the person work in the entertainment industry?," any question you can think of that helps you to reveal the answer. The host answers with yes or no only.
3. Maximum 1 question and 2 guesses per player per answer.
4. The winner can either start a new game or say "pass." In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another.
5. Can't edit a question or guess once posted. Delete ONLY.

Carrot wins with Hannibal Barca, Carthaginian general and considered one of the greatest military leaders of all time, who famously fought the Romans in the Second Punic War, marching an army and even elephants through the Alps to invade Italy.

He was born in Asia, the Arabian Peninsula.

reply

Imdb said born in Saudi Arabia which fit Nyc's map of Africa.

reply

Saudi Arabia isn't in Africa and it isn't on the map nyctc7 linked to. The northeastern part of the map depicts Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea. Saudi Arabia is just east from there, across the Red Sea, just outside the map. It's geographically considered part of Asia.
