Hannibal’s real Alpine trunk road to Rome is revealed
But where is the evidence? There should be some.
So far, however, there is no evidence of fire-shattered rock on the Col de la Traversette, although otherwise it fits the ancient descriptions.

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

I think we may have a case of a guess based upon a guess.
“Hannibal is said to have used” the fire split rock procedure.
But we evidently have no proof of that.

Polybius was born c 203 BC which was the year before the Second Punic War ended.
Livy was living at the time of Augustus.
It is quite probable that both of them simply adopted folklore. This is like looking for "Atlantis" because Plato wrote about it.
