The true identity of "Christopher Columbus" - Salvador Zarco, portuguese with some jewish roots
dighton rock ^ | January 6, 1989. | Manuel Luciano da Silva, M. D.

The American scholars continue to be brainwashed by the false name Columbus! Columbus means “pigeon”, but the navigator was no pigeon… In the United States there is an economic conspiracy to continue with the name Columbus because of the many printed books, videos and other paraphernalia worthy in sales many millions of dollars!
Like in so many fields of endeavor the TRUTH will come to the surface and eventually will triumph!!
Cristóvão Colon was the trade name of the discoverer.
His natural name was Salvador Fernandes Zarco, born in the southern Portuguese town of Cuba, son of Isabel Gonsalves Zarco (Portuguese Jewish woman, from Tomar) and Dom Fernando , Duke of Beja, son of the King of Portugal.

I'd never heard this before. Thanks for whetting my appetite! Here are a few more very interesting articles (some of it duplicates what you posted).

I'm still reading about this. Your link is especially interesting - the siglas (which I'd never even heard of), his lack of a signature (he never signed his name, ALWAYS used a sigla), the fact that he never wrote in Italian (always Spanish or Latin), his monogram, the papal bulls - all of this is fascinating.

I've been googling for more information. Here are two more interesting sites:

Was Christopher Columbus a Jew?

Christopher Columbus - Mythbusters is halfway down the page

I also read that the "Majesties" of Spain had called for all Jews to be expelled from Spain. Perhaps in the climate of the times, Columbus felt compelled to hide his Jewish identity (if he indeed was Jewish).

The Vatican, also, is withholding quite a bit of information from the public re Columbus.

Hmmm. Exclamation points and claims of conspiracy. Yeah, I'm convinced. /sarcasm

The Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria sailed out of Spain on the same tide that carried the last of the Jews and Moors (Muslims) from Spain before their presence was outlawed in the kingdom.
