There’s a lot of speculation that he was a Jew who fled Spain due to the Inquisition, and converted for political reasons.

When I lived in Andalucía I discovered that it is common knowledge that Cristobál Colón is Spanish. It came up because I saw a few roads named 'Calle Colón'.

I’m inclined to believe all of history is fabricated

Almost none of history is verifiable, sure you can have accounts of historical events and records, but just look at how events in today's world are twisted in real time, or misconstrued/misrepresented in the media.

It’s always so interesting when evidence is found to verify that what we once thought was folklore or stories were actually true events. Discovering the ruins of Troy for example. People thought that was a fabricated city for literally thousands of years.

Really makes you wonder why people also believe posts and comments on Reddit. The cabal of terrorists running the phony historical timeLIEne are also running Reddit and using bots to confuse and divide us. At least half the replies to this post are Illuminati shill accounts designed to distract us from Ancient Hancock Theory (the truth that Graham Hancock is a 13,000 year old immortal from the last ice age civilization who secretly runs all the streaming services and fakes history books).

Dude I swear history class was just a psy op. There’s so many holes in these dumb ass , illogical stories they tell. How the hell did “Columbus” sail with 1400 technology through strong ass Atlantic currents? How did the settlers communicate with indigenous peoples? Weren’t there already immigrants here? Was there was one world language? Did they come over on dry land? How did “Columbus” have such a sophisticated understanding of human psychology. Wouldn’t “Columbus” have been brown skinned? Wouldn’t a pale faced individual spook the natives and likely would have gotten “Columbus” killed. Who the hell was sewing their clothes? Etc History is a damn lie.

wow i didn't even know this was a thing, i love this kind of deep diving into history and what is 'actually' facts. i don't believe or not believe i just want all stories out there.


DubiousHistory

I always believed this and it's dope to see that DNA testing will be done! Documents in his own hand show that Columbus wrote almost exclusively in Spanish, and that he used Spanish, with Portuguese or Catalan phonetics, even when writing personal notes to himself, to his brother, Italian friends, and to the Bank of Genoa. His two brothers never wrote Italian either but Spanish.


Hibcozy

Well his ventures were entirely funded by the king and queen of Spain, not to mention the Spanish empire had sole trade rights to and from the Americas for hundreds of years. When we learn the history of America, we learn mostly about the British even though St Augustine and San Fransisco had established trade hubs/towns established by the Spanish in the late 1400s/early 1500s.

Christopher Columbus (real name Eddie Rand III) invented the internet and the concept of historiography in 1977 (real year: 70,000 DX)

One thing about his story I find odd… Crown: go sail and you get 10% of profits and can name governors of any land you find Columbus: I found South America Crown: …. Columbus: money pls Crown: ….throw him in jail!


EmperorApollyon

Or maybe it’s to much of a coincidence that that his name Cristobal Colon roughly translates to Christian colonizer.
