Experts from the University of Granada in Spain conducted an examination to establish the origins of the famous navigator Christopher Columbus. RTVE TV channel reports this.
In the channel's documentary “Columbus, DNA. Its true origin” (Colon ADN, su verdadero origen) it is specified that the research was carried out over 22 years under the direction of forensic expert and professor at the University of Granada, José Antonio Lorente. After studying hundreds of bones and documents, scientists have concluded that Columbus was Jewish. According to Lorente, the navigator was probably from the Western Mediterranean.
“The studied lines place it in Mediterranean Spain among the Sephardim,” the RTVE publication said.
On October 12, the British edition of The Daily Mail wrote that scientists were able to prove the location of the bones of Columbus in Spain. The fact that the navigator could rest in the kingdom has been repeatedly questioned.
