while the crossing did turn out to be a pretty stupid en-devour do you have any evidence that its a lie apart your own disbelief?

Not gonna lie, this is the first I've heard someone challenge the Hannibal/alps/elephants story. Interesting (not really, though).

And even if it's not true, that doesn't seem like that great of a lie.

nah man no one has 60,000 fighting all at once. more like 20,000 and the english king henry the fifth i think won the battle man. soggy ground you see french horses got stuck in the mud, hard to run in armour the nobility got suck in the mud too.

youve completely miss understood i put them fake facts up. (think about it a put the link up with info ive read it). i did it to prove there is many lies in history as its the winners who writes history especially concerning British history. but id does not mean it didnt happen and also to say. them figuers are a bit mindblowing like hanibal and if i was told now not knowing it happend i would have a hard time to believe it. didn't mean it never happened and was a complete lie

cause i was taught in school (uk) that they were the figures wich turned out to be crap. also you sure 60,000 never taken to a battlefield you sure and fighting at once. umm battle of the ? u should now its happend in france mrfrance...
