Spain finds out Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
]Regnum] The famous navigator Christopher Columbus was a Sephardic Jew, according to scientists from the University of Granada in Spain. Their conclusion is based on DNA analysis of the traveler and his son Hernando, reports the Spanish TV channel RTVE.

The documentary "Columbus, DNA. His True Origins", presented by the channel on October 12, tells about the study of the remains of Columbus, kept in the Seville Cathedral. For 22 years, they were studied by specialists under the direction of forensic expert and university professor Jose Antonio Lorente.

"After studying hundreds of bones and documents, it can be said that Christopher Columbus was Jewish," the channel said in a publication about the documentary.

You’re welcome.

Genetic evidence suggests that Columbus was born in Mediterranean Spain among Sephardim, a sub-ethnic group of Jews who formed on the Iberian Peninsula through migration. Traits consistent with Jewish ancestry were found in the male Y chromosome and in the maternal mitochondrial DNA of the explorer's son, Hernando, Lorente explained.

According to him, it is safe to say that Columbus was born in Western Europe.

According to the most common version, Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy. Some associate his origins with Poland or Spain, and there are also suggestions that he was Scottish, Catalan, or Jewish.

Some have even claimed Basque.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier scientists confirmed that the remains in the Seville Cathedral belong to Columbus, who died in 1506. Doubts about their identity were due to the fact that the navigator's body was transported from place to place more than once. For identification, scientists used the remains of the navigator's son Hernando and brother Diego, buried in the same cathedral.

#2 You gotta think BIG...the Jews founded colonialism.

No doubt keyboards are singing throughout the university/media cesspool with gleeful think pieces.

#3 You think o'Chris would have gotten one silver coin from Isabela if he didn't go to Mass?

So the USA does celebrate a National Holiday for a person of Jewish lineage?

As of 2024, we have:
2 x Black holidays,
2 x Military Salute days,
1 x Taxation without Representation day,
1 x National Socialist Day,
1 x Jewish Italian Explorer day
1 x National Pig out - Non-Veggie Day
1 x Christian birthday

So how long before the Pro-Muslim LSD party calls for an Islamic National Holiday?

#6 1 x Christian birthday

He was Jewish, too, NN2N1. ;-) But we’re happy to share.

You think o'Chris would have gotten one silver coin from Isabela if he didn't go to Mass?

I’m sure he went to mass, Procopius2k. 1492 was the year of the Expulsion, when the Jews were required to convert or leave Spain following the completion of the Reconquista and a century of massacres against the Jews for various reasons. Quite a few left — north into Europe, especially Amsterdam, and south into Moslem North Africa, as far as Egypt. From Amsterdam a group went with the Dutch to populate New Amsterdam. Of those that stayed, some had converted quite sincerely. Others continued to practice their faith in secret, and it was to ferret those out that the Inquisition was set on them. There are still family lines, in Spain and in the Americas, that have a tradition of family dinners on Friday night, that don’t eat pork, and so on. There have been articles about DNA studies done on some of them, and they turn out to have forgotten Jewish ancestry.

#7 ...tangentially, the prosperity of the Dutch was well noticed by Oliver Cromwell, who invited the Jews to England.

#8 Columbus retired in some sort of Franciscan monastic life. He definitely was motivated to exploit the New World or its people.

#9 Maybe, just maybe, if the Turks had left Byzantium alone, no one would have been motivated to head west to find Asia. That would blame conquering Muslims wouldn't it?

#10 I believe the "Christianized" Jews in Spain were called "marranos"?

#12 ...Marranos are the converts who remained Jews in secret.

#13 Marrano means pig, hence the use as description for crypto-Jews.
