In the fifteenth century, Christopher Columbus made his famous discoveries. And although today the whole world knows about him, the origin and last days of the scientist remained a secret for centuries. The most popular theory was that he may have been born in Genoa, but his genetic origins were unknown; Was he Italian, Basque, Catalan or Portuguese? The Guardian writes that now this mystery has finally been solved.
A team of scientists from Spain claims: Unfinished ruins in Seville Cathedral belong to famous explorers. DNA testing of samples from the grave was initially compared to the DNA of known close relatives of Columbus, including his brother Diego and son Fernando, to confirm the relationship.
Today, thanks to new technologies, the previous partial theory that the remains in Seville belong to Christopher Columbus has finally been confirmed.
Forensic researcher Jose Antonio Lorente from the University of Grenada said:
It is interesting that in this case the scientists decided not to publish a scientific paper with the results and first announced an entire television program on local television in Spain. It was released on Saturday, October 12.
After analyzing 25 possible locations, Lorente says it’s now safe to say: Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew born in Western Europe.. Approximately 300,000 Jews are known to have lived in Spain before Catholic rulers Isabella and Ferdinand ordered Jews and Muslims to convert to the Catholic faith or leave the country. Many of them settled all over the world. The word “Sephard” comes from the Hebrew word “Sephardic” meaning “Spain”.
Columbus died in Valladolid, Spain, in 1506, but he wanted to be buried on the island of Hispaniola, shared today by the Dominican Republic and Haiti. His remains were transferred there in 1542.
They later moved to Cuba after Spain lost the Dominican Republic in 1795. In 1898 the body was moved again – this time to Seville.
It seems that the story should end here and we should know where Columbus’ remains are. However, in 1877, a lead coffin with the inscription “Famous and distinguished man, Christopher Columbus” was found in the Cathedral of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Inside the coffin were bone fragments, which raised many doubts about the place where the scientist was buried.
This coffin is currently buried near the monument in Santo Domingo Este and may need to be checked separately; It is possible that the remains were separated during transportation, and both sets of bones may belong to the same individual.
