According to historical accounts, he also led 37 #warelephants. R.M.Martínez Sánchez et al. (2026) discovered a right #carpalbone of a war elephant near #Cordoba,#Spain, possibly the first scientific evidence for the Hannibal context.

War elephants began as ancient workers, became battlefield beasts from India to Carthage, famously crossed the Alps with Hannibal, then faded with the arrival of gunpowder — but left a thunderous mark on history.

You may be aware that the game of #chess started in India in the sixth century A.D. The game took several centuries to be adopted into its current European form.

In the original version, some of the pieces moved differently, but the biggest difference in my opinion was the use of #WarElephants rather than #Rooks !
