In 2021, the study on Columbus’s origins was reactivated, leading to evidence that he was of Spanish Sephardic Jewish descent, countering long-held Italian claims.
The investigation conducted using DNA technology suggests Columbus was not born in Genoa but rather in the Western Mediterranean, particularly around the Balearic Islands.
Jose Antonio Lorente's team conducted extensive tests, ruling out previous theories about Columbus's origins, ultimately proving he was Jewish and from the Western Mediterranean.
The documentary 'Columbus DNA. His true origin' emphasizes the new findings, challenging traditional views and asserting that Columbus's lineage is distinctly of Spanish descent.
