Hannibal was one of the greatest military minds in history, imitated for millennia due to his innovations in military intelligence and his brilliant use of the environment, topography and weather in battle, effectively weaponizing nature, as well as getting into the minds of his opponents and exploiting their vulnerabilities that his spies discovered.

Speaker Professor Patrick Hunt earned his Ph.D. in Archaeology from the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, and has taught at Stanford University for nearly 30 years. Hunt directed the Stanford Alpine Archaeology Project from 1994 to 2012 and has continued project-related fieldwork in the region in the years since. His Alps research has been sponsored by the National Geographic Society, and he frequently lectures for National Geographic on Hannibal and the European mummy nicknamed Ötzi the Iceman. He is also a National Lecturer for the Archaeological Institute of America, as well as an elected Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and the Explorers Club. He is the author of 21 published books, including the best-sellers Ten Discoveries That Rewrote History and Hannibal. He has a lifelong love of the Alps, having lived there for several months each year since 1994.
