New study confirms possible Jewish ancestry of Christopher Columbus through DNA evidence

A DNA study of Christopher Columbus' remains found in Seville Cathedral suggests that Columbus was of Jewish descent, contradicting the long-held theory that he was an Italian sailor from Genoa. The study involved examining the bones of Columbus and his son Hernando, and the findings imply that Columbus may have hailed from the Jewish community, which was later expelled from Spain by the Catholic Monarchs in 1492, the same year Columbus reached the Americas. This claim challenges traditional historical wisdom and raises interesting questions about Columbus' origins and the potential implications of his Jewish ancestry.
