Christopher Columbus Was Likely Jewish and Spanish, Researchers Claim

OK. But did you get the day off today?

Breitbart Europe:
Spanish researchers have claimed that DNA and other analyses indicate that Christopher Columbus likely came from a Jewish family in Spain.

The 15th-century man credited with the discovery of the Americas has been traditionally recognised as an Italian who hailed from the Republic of Genoa and who sailed under a Spanish flag, however, an investigation spanning over the past two decades led by University of Granada Professor Miguel Lorente Acosta claims to have undercut the origin story of the ‘Admiral of the Ocean Sea’.

The Spanish team asserted that analysis of the DNA from the bones of Christopher Columbus and his son, Hernando, buried in the Seville Cathedral, indicated that both men had “traits compatible with Jewish origins,” The Telegraph reports.

The DNA also showed a “western Mediterranean” origin, yet it was not conclusive as to which Mediterranean country the Columbus family came from.

Yet the findings, published in a primetime documentary in Spain on Saturday to coincide with the country’s national day, claimed that Columbus was almost certainly not originally from Italy. more
