The reason royals were hesitant to fund Columbus' voyage westward is because they knew about this value and thought Columbus' proposal was suicidal. Columbus thought the world was 1/3rd the size. His voyage to 'India' would indeed have been doomed had the American continent not been in the way.

So many of these documentaries end with "we are awaiting the results of further testing". Why can't they just wait for the results before finalising the doco? Maybe they don't want to risk a result that would negate the whole doco. Not saying this is the case here or in all docos like this, but it's so frustrating. It's like "let's finish on the same mystery we started with", and maybe we can make another doco in the future.

The portuguese fishermen had long traversed the grand banks, just as the Macassans had fished trepang off the northern coast of Australia, dating back at least four hundred years. Portugal, during the age of exploration, was highly secretive, regarding it's discoveries, such as (some believe) that of the east coast of Australia, in the 1520's. This hemisphere had been 'granted' by the Pope, to Spain. Portugal could not risk war with Spain, or to have them seize Portuguese territory. Official history, has always consisted of smoke and mirrors; and more so today, with computer technology designed to obscure the facts. There has only ever existed one legitimate source of truth on this earth; against which, all things (esp. the Person in the mirror) can accurately be measured. Ecclesiastes 12:11-14.

I would think that the fact that Columbus’s own sons did not know the truth of their origins says a lot. There were questions even during his life that he would not clarify. To me that means any obvious answer can’t be right or he would have admitted it. Many Jewish families at the time “converted” but quietly continued to practice their private observances. Later generations had no idea these little rituals were Jewish traditions.

@@stevenrowlandson4258 I once asked a Rabi about that since I was confused. How can you convert to something that is also traced through your blood? He said it was both a bloodline and a religion. I guess that’s an answer. I figure in today’s world, those who consider themselves Jewish are Jewish and those who don’t, aren’t. Even with the modern ability to trace your ancestry, who you are has more to do with your choices and actions than some dot on a map your great great grandpappy came from. I would hope that this historic fixation with religious segregation would eventually end. It’s doesn’t matter how you say your prayers any more than what you do in your bedroom. Here’s a fun fact, the reason that Jews tended to be bankers, jewelers, money lenders, doctors etc. was that Medieval European law forbade them from owning land. They had to have businesses that they could pack up and run with if the neighbors got stupid. They were forced into those fields and then blamed for the power it gave them over the Christians population. It’s funny to me how a staunch Catholic is considered devout but a observant Jew is nefarious and suspect by the ignorant. Individuals are just that, individual. The sooner we stop viewing groups as uniform, the better society will be.

His Jewish ancestry is probably true because there are many Jewish cemeteries in and around Jamaica. My Grandfather is buried Falmouth, Jamaica of which is a Jewish Cemetery. In the hamlet of Kettering, Jamaica a Cable and Wireless mobile transmitter had been installed over the burial site of his brother, Robert. East of St. Ann's, Jamaica, I stumbled upon a well that was built by the crew of members of one of his ships. I think it was La Nina. The locals, at the time were very upset because a German salvage team had discovered it's wreckage and had hauled up it's many treasures in return for 200 Mercedes buses - which didn't materialise! We must remember that Columbus never ever set foot on what we call present day America but he did live in Jamaica for over two years in and around Discovery Bay, Jamaica.

One of my Hebrew school teachers said that there was Hebrew in CC's writing. I believe it was the Hebrew abbreviation ב״ה which is often written on top of pages. It means "with the help of G-d". If he is descended from a Jewish mother, who could blame him for not telling anyone this. Both CC and his son's lived at the time of the Spanish Inquisition. You could die if you were Jewish and didn't 100% convert.

He points out a number of indications that Columbus was from a Portuguese Converso family, and shows that most of his sailors were also of Jewish background. If he was also a Templar, that would be very interesting, since there is a great deal of archaeological and documentary evidence that the Templars had trading settlement in North America (Nova Scotia and other places) for at least 100 years before his voyage.

At thetime of Columbus, there were different places called Cuba. 1) - There is a village in the Aragon region of Spain that is called "La Cuba" on the river "río de la Cuba" also called "río de las Albaredas". This village existed already in the 13th century (1*) - In La Cuba thereis a festival of Saint Christopher “Fiestas de San Cristóbal El sábado, a las 12 de la noche, se corre un toro embolado en la plaza delpueblo. El domingo, a las 12 del mediodía, se celebra una misa en la Ermita deSan Cristóbal por el Obispo de Barbastro-Monzón e hijo de la Cuba, Alfonso...” (1**) - I didn't find the origin of the name of this "La Cuba" 2) in Sicily. The Cuba Palace is situated in theCuba-Calatafimi part of Palermo. Cuba comes from the Arabic name Qubba, "dome") (2*) 3) In Sicily there are “cuba churches”. There are several hypotheses about the origin of the name “cuba” for those churches. Cuba could come from the Arabic word kubba (pit, deposit) or qubba (dome). (3*) 4) Cuba in Portugal According to the English page of Wikipedia about the Portugese Cuba, the name of this "Cuba" is likely of Arabicorigin, pertaining to the qubba, that is "tombs", of asceticspiritual leaders. Such toponyms are frequent in Southern Portugal and likelyrelated to the Sufi movements that flourished during the period of Almoraviddecay, such as the one led by Ibn Qasi. (1*) See the wikipedia page in Aragonese about “La Cuba” “En chinero de 1241 los templers atorgoron carta de población a 30 habitadors de La Cuba. Lo 28 de setiembre de 1493 s'amollonó la partida de la Umbría d'el Rebollar,que s'entregaba a Mirambel." (1**) Source wikipedia page “La Cuba” in Spanish.

I thought it strange as a little kid that a on know person could get backing from a King and Queen, that's strange. Also he got backing from Jewish people for the voyages. Why also didn't he even reveal his true identity to his children. This was very good program . There is going to be doubt because people expect to get 100% proof. But the proof he is Portuguese is much more valid. There is no proof he is Italian other than we were told so in school. That is crazy how we just end up believing without a thread of evidence.

I was taught in school that Christoper Columbus was Portuguese and his voyages were in service of the King and Queen of Spain.

The city of Calvi in Corsica has a statue of Columbus claiming he was born there. At this time Corsica was a part of Genova. It was not until the 18th Century that the Corsicans were able to break away from the City State of Genova. There is also a town in Catalonia named Colom that claims Cristobal Colon as their native son. All this other stuff that I just saw is new to me. I might add that at this time Columbus was in danger of being accused of heresy by the Church because of his beliefs on the subject of getting to India by way of the Atlantic. He had the full backing of Queen Isabella because he promised her that this area would be fertile ground for new converts. The whole thing is interesting.

The same thing said in his "Lettera" Michele da Cuneo, a ligurian friend of Columbus, native of Savona, who partecipated to the second voyage to Hispaniola. Do you really could think that a ligurian was not able to distinguish another ligurian from iberians? Columbus donated an island to Michele da Cuneo who named it "Saona". Then we can speak about the decisive contribution of another italian friend of Columbus, the bishop Geraldini, confessor of the queen Isabel. And you don't know that the Banco di San Giorgio of Genoa financed the first voyage of Columbus. Having said that, even though Columbus was born in Italy, he behaved as a faithful subject of the kings of Spain, therefore, he can be considered Spanish by choice.

Actually this documentary was incorrect. Columbus was a Greek from the Island of Chios which was a protectorate of Genoa. Colombos is a common family name in Chios. Chios has always been known for its sea trading families and is a stronghold for shippping families of Greece. The rich trading educated families from Byzantium fled the Anatolian coast in the 15th Century to avoid the growing power of the Ottoman Empire. This exodus of up to 1 million Greeks into Western Europe was the real Catalyst for the Renaissance. The Catholic Church and the Royals of Western Europe have covered this up because it was not in their best interest to allow for a Greek Orthodox Elite network across Western Europe. These Greeks happily converted to avoid the catholic and royal pressure. They needed a knew homeland. Why would the Queen of Spain trust a Portuguese man? And why would the Portuguese not fund their own expedition? The Byzantine world knew more ancient secrets. They were a far older society with better knowledge. Columbus knew where he was going and he knew the circumference of the earth. He knew he wasn’t in India he knew Asia was a far greater distance from Europe. A German researcher found that Columbus wrote his name Christopher with a Xristoforos or Xristoferens like Greek. He wrote his shop logs in Greek. He named capes after Greek Letters. I wonder if this will all come to light one day.

This was very interesting to me, as I have ancestry in Cuba, as well as Spain and Portugal. As an African American, I knew of the Cuban/Spanish root of my maternal grandfather, but the amount of Portuguese was over 4%. They commentators spoke of Portugal’s desire to lay claim to Brazil and Africa for the “raw material wealth”, but no mention to the millions of human beings enslaved and forcibly transported to Cuba (Caribbean) and Brazil, where most of the entire transatlantic slave trade delivered their human cargo. They too were considered “raw material wealth” (gold) and I think it’s quite disingenuous to gloss over that particularly horrific point. Not to mention the slaughter “Columbus” and the Portuguese administered through the “New” world, killing, enslaving, and transporting indigenous people from the moment of first contact in the Caribbean to various port on both sides of the Atlantic, Portugal, Cape Verde Islands, and African countries like Angola . Tell the whole bloody truth.

I couldn't agree more. The more we go down the rabbit holes the more confusing it all becomes. All of humanity deserves the whole truth. I've never been a fan of Royalty or Elite status for the simple fact that they fully believe that they are the God Chosen rulers of the entire earth. That is all that every great Empire existed for. What divine right do we have to go into the lands some one else is living on and destroy every facet of their lives for some worthless metal, that ends up contaminating the water, air, and foods. A lot of tribal people didn't believe in digging deep into the "skin of mother earth". All of those lands run by Emperors were focused on wealth. The indigenous were far more rational and accepting of their lot in life. I'm not too sure at this point who was wiser. Where we are headed next is certainly not a good place. And, I'd rather take my chances with the Indigenous than where we're headed.

Luis de Torres, who was Columbus's navigator and interpreter on the Santa Maria, was a known Jew. De Torres records in his diary that Yom Kippur fell near the end of Columbus's 1st maritime journey. On that night Jews fast, and many pious Jews do not lie down or sleep. He records on the actual night of Yom Kippur, Columbus stayed up all night on deck placidly staring into the darkness. He refused to even lie down or to go to sleep. He records that at no other time during the journey did Columbus refuse to lie down in his quarters after dark.

Because Columbus left Spain on the 1st day of of the Hebrew month of Av in 1492, 8 days before all Jews had to leave Spain, convert to Catholicism, or die. Most left with Ferdinand's Jewish advisor, Don Abarbanal, crossing the border out of Spain on that date of the 9th of Av. Others became Maranoes, pretending to be Catholics on the outside while secretly practicing Judaism. A few others like Luis De Torres found another way out of Spain.

But this is where things get more interesting. The Gregorian dates and the Julian dates in the 15th Century were likely 9 days off from each other. I believe in the 16th Century when Pope Gregory set up the Gregorian calendar, the pope added 10 days to the calendar sometime in March? (need confirmation, March 4th I think), and the day after March 4th was March 15th or in order to account for the discrepency between the 2 calendars over the previous 12 centuries from the time of the Council of Nicea. Presto, ten days were simply removed from time to account for a year which was really 365.2425 days long and not 365.25 days long. So if Feb 29th is not added 3 times every 400 years, the calendar more accurately tracks the length of 1 solar year. This accounts for 10 times during a 1200 year history when there should have been no Feb 29th while the Julian calendar does not make such "minor" adjustments. If we add 9 of those days to the Julian date of Columbus's journey on the 3rd of August 1492, we arrive at the fact that Columbus actually left on the 12th of August according to the yet to be established Gregorian calendar. (In the year 1500 there would have been no Feb 29th according to Pope Gregory's calendar accounting for a full ten days. So in reality Columbus left Spain on the 10th of Av, not the 1st of Av and arrived at San Salvadore on the 21st of Tishrei, which was the 7th day of the Feast of Tabernacles, 11 days after Yom Kippur. So Luis De Torres left Spain the day after the Inquisition had already begun.

Oh, and the 7th day of the Feast of Tabernacles, when land was spotted, has another name in Hebrew. It is called Hosha Na Rabbah or Hossana Rabbah, THE GREAT SALVATION, .... perhaps accounting for Columbus's name for the new island, San Salvadore?!

Diverting them to the west was genius. Plus the portuguese had already been in Canada and north America, but were not interested (no trade routes), also the treaty of Tordesilles forbidden the portuguese to claim those territories...

I'm positive the Vatican would have records on the Great Explorer Christopher Columbus.

I read a study ( book too) about Columbus being the famous Galician sailor and noble Pedro Álvarez de Sotomayor nicknamed Pedro Madruga. Colom being his grandmother's Maiden name. He sided with Portugal in the war for Galicia to leave Castilian hands and lost. He desappears suddenly with no notice of his death the year before Columbus appears in Portugal. Both have the same number of sons with same names. And the desciphering of the signature is much simpler than here. Also when it is said Columbus visited the Castilian queen ..the name that day in the registry of visitors is Pedro Sotomayor and not Columbus

Wish to my understanding they were pretty similar back then. Also apparently he would write to the queen in Castilian but some of the words would still be written in Portuguese or Galician. Now I'm not sure what language they spoke in Genoa back then but I'm sure it was not those.

It’s been said that he has been of Iberian origin more than Italian. Some say that his signature style was that of the contemporary style of the Catalans. As for Columbus being Portuguese, it is highly plausible since he did marry into the Portuguese family, the Perestrellos. The wife, was one of the comendadoras of a convent in Portugal.

Este documentário e por consequência este vídeo merece um grande elogio das mais variadas vertentes. Eu conheço esta versão da investigação histórica há pelo menos uns 20 anos, quando eu li um pequeno texto da autoria do Professor Doutor e Médico Luciano Melo (se não me falha a memória). E de facto a única duvida que se apontava nesta teoria extremamente plausível, a qual ainda hoje existe era seguinte: - Porque razão e porque argumento, naquele tempo Salvador Fernandes Zarco se fez passar por Cristovão Cólon? E no meu entendimento a resposta para tal pergunta fundamental é tão simples: - Não é certamente apenas o motivo que o Reino de Portugal estar interessado no Oriente e não nas Índias pelo Ocidente. Portugal sabia sim da existência de uma terra a Ocidente e também sabia que não era a India ( a de Vasco da Gama), sabia sim que era uma uma terra com outras gentes. Por outro lado, Vasco da Gama, que a segunda fez se impus com canhões sobre a India, se tornou no primeiro Vice Rei português, neste caso do lado Oriente. E para tentar responder à pergunta fundamental da identidade de Cristovão Colón vs Salvador Fernandes Zarco, Porquê se fazia passar por outra pessoa? Era espião? porque razão foi ele falar com a coroa de Espanha e não a Portugal? >>>> Ora vejamos, se ele era filho bastardo, do Rei D. Fernando (Fernande(s) pois é filho de Fernando) juntamente com uma filha do capitão donatário Zarco da ilha da Madeira, nascido que foi escondido em Cuba do Alentejo, como todos os bastardos eram à revelia e se ele ao descobrir das Índias (Américas) se tornasse Vice Rei também ?>>> Então isso significava claramente que mesmo sendo bastardo, ele tinha direito a aceder ao trono de Portugal? Ele tinha direito a ser REI por descender diretamente do sangue do Rei D. Fernando e uma vez obtendo popularidade pelos seus feitos na corte portuguesa. A resposta é exatamente esta: - Ele fugiu de Portugal pois provavelmente a sua vida seria em risco, porque era um sério candidato uma vez descoberta a América a ser considerado Rei de Portugal e/ou disputar o trono e obviamente o Rei em vigência sabia certamente da sua linhagem e certamente que iria por termo à sua vida para não ficar sem o trono. Eu penso que não há duvida para o motivo pelo qual o mapa de Piri Reis desapareceu entre os demais mapas que se encontravam no acervo da altura. Cristovão Cólon seria a sua nova identidade dentro da Europa, onde ele foi tentar a sua sorte de vida numa outra corte, uma vez que a sua linhagem (uma vez conhecida em Portugal) determinaria a sua bastardia e falta de recetividade do Rei por poder eventualmente ser considerado um potencial usurpador ao poder. E a promessa que recebeu da Coroa de Espanha foi que se tornaria Vice Rei de Espanha desta feita das Ìndias (ou Americas) não tendo porém se verificado. Contudo, ainda numa ultima tentativa e após ter descoberto Cuba pela primeira vez e de regresso à Europa, ele ainda parou num lugar que se chama Anjos que fica a Norte da Ilha de Santa Maria, numa pequena enseada e baia muito erma, a qual não tinha artilharia que apontasse às caravelas espanholas ao se aproximar junto á costa ou simplesmente fugir ao conhecimento de tocar em costa portuguesa, para que deste modo deixasse mensagem aos seus familiares de Gonçalo Velho Cabral, que era capitão donatário dos Açores, para que ao aportar em breve e em Lisboa esta mensagem chegasse à Rainha de Portugal pois Cristovão Cólon ou Salvador Fernandes Zarco queria falar com a mesma urgentemente para lhe transmitir uma mensagem importante. E essa reunião com a rainha aconteceu , obviamente como a sua ultima tentativa de saber se Salvador Fernandes Zarco devia entregar a sua descoberta que ainda não estava totalmente terminada aos reis portugueses , ou se Cristovão Colón devesse caminhar até Castela a levar novas ruma esquecer para sempre da sua verdadeira identidade portuguesa ou se devia simplesmente aceitar uma nova realidade do seu Eu ao se chamar e ser conhecido durante a sua vida e para as próximas gerações por Cristofhõn (critovão) Cólon. Penso que esta é a resposta para a duvida que assombra a presente teoria.

Você está certo. Mesmo antes da chegada de Cabral no Brasil já havia portugueses vivendo aqui, particularmente os judeus João Ramalho e Cosme Fernandes, mais conhecido como "Bacharel de Cananeia" (entre outros). Cananeia foi o nome dado a esta região no sul do estado de São Paulo e que fica exatamente no último ponto ao sul da linha do tratado de Tordesilhas e onde estes "cristãos novos", na verdade judeus, foram deixados. É bom lembrar que o primeiro povo a se beneficiar do que chamamos hoje de 'globalização' foram os judeus. Por causa da diáspora, os judeus em várias partes do mundo se comunicavam com frequência. Não com a velocidade atual, mas com frequência ininterrupta. Sugiro que pesquise as descobertas da historiadora Anita Novinsky, que foi a maior autoridade em Inquisição no Brasil e Portugal e que passou décadas estudando pessoalmente os arquivos da Torre do Tombo. Ela fez descobertas surpreendentes.

Contextualizando a história depressa percebemos que toda ela se passa no tempo na Inquisição, onde a "igreja" forçava a conversão de religião sob pena de morte ou sob prisão. Muito judeus foram perseguidos e mortos. Alguns converteram-se, outros faziam de conta. Zarco era de famílias judias. Os judeus desenvolveram algumas ferramentas de navegação marítima. Por causa da Inquisição e da fuga dos judeus, Portugal perdeu um enorme pedaço de conhecimento. Os judeus são muito religiosos, mas têm contribuíram imenso para a evolução da ciência.
