Columbus’ lineage unveiled through DNA analysis The centuries-old mystery of Christopher Columbus’ lineage has been solved. Scientists revealed the explorer’s roots after DNA analysis in a documentary aired on Saturday, October 10th on Spanish television.
Researchers, led by forensic pathologist Miguel Llorente, examined microscopic samples of remains buried in Seville Cathedral. They compared them to those of his known relatives and descendants. The DNA study confirmed that the remains of Christopher Columbus are indeed buried in Seville. Llorente, briefing reporters on the findings, confirmed this.
He specifically stated: “Today it became possible to verify with new technologies, definitively confirming the previous partial theory that the remains in Seville belong to Christopher Columbus.”
The ethnicity investigation was more complicated due to several factors, including the vast amount of data, but “the result is almost completely reliable,” Llorente added.
Christopher Columbus and the Spanish-Jewish connection There has long been almost conclusive evidence that Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew, meaning a Jew of Spanish and hence Western European descent. In particular, one element that had led scientists to this conclusion, even prior to DNA analysis, was the limited information available about his early years.
He may have actively hidden his Jewish roots to avoid persecution by the Catholic Spanish monarchs. In the 15th century, most Sephardic Jews were indeed Crypto-Jews. At the same time, historical evidence indicates that Columbus often made personal use of Jewish symbols.
Mystery of Christopher Columbus’s roots Writers have produced more content on Christopher Columbus than anyone else except Jesus Christ, yet his past remains shrouded in mystery.
The majority of historians generally agree that Columbus’ family was from Liguria. Christopher was born in the city of Genoa, the son of Domenico Columbo, a local weaver. However, the exact origin of Christopher Columbus has been a source of speculation since the 19th century. Recently, many published texts have claimed that the great admiral could have been Portuguese, Catalan, Polish, or Greek.
Is Christopher Columbus buried in both Seville and Santo Domingo? Columbus died at the age of 55 in the northwestern Spanish city of Valladolid in 1506. However, his last wish was to be buried on the island of Hispaniola. Both the Dominican Republic and Haiti share this island.
His remains were thus moved there in 1542 and then relocated to Cuba in 1795. Finally, in 1898, they were believed to have been moved to Seville, Spain.
In 1877, workmen in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, discovered a lead coffin buried behind the shrine in the Santo Domingo Cathedral. The coffin contained bone fragments, which the Dominican Republic claims are Columbus’ remains.
Llorente believes that the claim that Christopher Columbus is buried in both Seville and Santo Domingo could be valid, as the remains in both locations are in fact incomplete.
Well, if you don't vote for the Democrats, you ain't black. That is a contrapositive form of "If you are black, you vote for the Democratic religion."
Like Juan Epstein, the Puerto Rican Jew.
And...anti-hispanic.
Read about that fact years ago.
They also have to blame hispanics. [1][2[3]
It will be interesting to see how they re-engineer their outrage over Columbus (if at all).
It doesn’t per se. But back in the BC era the idea of “nations” was different than we think of nation states today. Nations were one people, sharing culture, land, traditions, language and often religion among other things. Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, Gaullist, Babylonian and so on. They used to call Native American tribes “Nation” eg the Sioux Nation. It’s because of these multiple shared qualities among the people of the tribe (nation). So a Sioux could convert religion but he wouldn’t necessarily be less part of the Sioux nation.
Indeed!
.
Of COURSE it does!!!
NOW we can’t eat HAM on Columbus Day!!!
(Obviously, you have not thought this all the way through….)
(-:
I thought that had been determined already. Maybe it was just a suspicion
He was CATHOLIC!
Always suspected he was Jewish and escaped during the Spanish Inquisition.
Being openly declared a Jew might make his getting an audience with the Spanish Monarchy much more complicated if not impossible.
Wow. Maybe that is why he left Spain during the Inquisition- because the antisemitism about comments on big noses made him flee.
Catholics of the day gave Jews two choices - convert or be tortured to death during the Inquisition. Many converted. Columbus left, as many did.
If they denied the trinity, they were tortured until they accepted. They were called Conversos. Many Jews p red aged the Shema until they.died. many did not.
“It’s better to lose your skullcap than your skull....Oy Gewalt!”
As a matter of historical curiosity, yes.
It was just odd to me that his logs were in Hebrew. Although pilots logs were the nuclear codes of the day and super super secret.
So it was just as likely he picked an obscur(ish) language to keep things secret in case someone stole it/took a peek.
While everyone has heard about the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria, history largely ignored the fourth ship, the Manischewitz, which was laden with Matzoh and Gefilte Fish.
