@@moshebenshaul what about Ponce De Leon? Florida was a major holding for Spain for over a century. In fact, of the three nations which have controlled post-columbian Florida, (namely Spain, France, and the United States), Spain held it the longest.

However, as a Floridian and history enthusiast, I must disagree with your minimalist roster of actual conquistadors. Almost all historians are in agreement with you regarding Columbus himself, but the claim that the conquistadors number only two is false by any account.

Thank you so much for another fascinating and educative talk on Columbus and the Sephardim! Looking forward to many more of your great lectures.

There are many studies that have proven that Cristobal Colon (Columbus) was born to a family of 'Marranos'; Jews who were forced to convert to Roman-Christianity. The overwhelming majority of those who sailed with Colon were Anusim. They sailed following the Ninth of Av when the remaining Jewish community was expelled from Spain. Colon was helping his fellow 'Converso' brethren.

Maybe he set sail after 9-Av because of the large number of Anusim on his crew? As far as I know, it is widely believed that many Anusim used this profession to flee the antisemitic laws and environment of Spain at that time, as evidenced by Jewish customs practiced by Caribbean populations.

I stumbled upon a few of your lectures, Dr. Abramson, and can’t quit watching them and enjoying them fully. Thank you for sharing in such a classroom-like form your research in History. About this lecture, all I can say, based in my basic biographic knowledge of Columbus life is that he is supposed to be from a fishermen’s family of Genoa, the Italian name was Colombo, Cristoforo, and the remains of his house with a plaque, are just outside the old wall of Genoa. Colombo, according to some historians, comes from colonizing or being a colono in a certain area (Genoa?) but as he moved around then to España, modified his name to Cristobal Colon.

The top left squiggle/signature on the letter/ document indicated Christopher Columbus saying, Close to my Heart.

I was born in a small town in central Mexico, called Cerritos San Luis Potosí. My grandmother told me that her maternal uncles were tall men with red hair and blue eyes. All my life I wondered where this people came from. Their last name was Guzmán and Turrubiartes. Not only them, but there were Cervantes and so many other last names. After many years of research, I came to the conclusion that this were Shepherds Crypo Jews that had fled the brutal Catholic persecution. I got back as far to a man named Don Martin De Turrubiartes, who lived in Cerrritos in the late XVI century. There’s no doubt in my mind that Cristobal Colon was a Jew. The Shepherds fled to the ends of the earth to escape de brutality of religions, including their own sometimes. If Colon was investigated in the now, he would be called a liar and imposter for declaring his Jewish blood, particularly the Hasidic Jewish people. I gave up on being religious.

Cristobal Colon was a devout Catholic. He signed his name XPO Ferens and instructed his 2 sons to do the same. It stands for the "Ch" Kye "R" Roe and means Christ bearer. If you read his journals he had a devotion to Mary, the Mother of our Lord. What was most interesting about his journal was his plee to Philip and Isabella to send priests to india as they wanted to learn more about Christ Jesus. It blew my mind when I read King Philip granted him this campaign but said, "you will go west by way of the occident" to which Columbus mentioned no one had ever done. He went on faith and landed in the new world where the Catholic Church has brought the gospel. Glad I decided to read about history for myself instead of getting a freemason education or misinformation. God bless

i though the exposition was too cursory, there's so much more depth to this delicate matter -- for example, the fact that he pitched his atlantic expedition to both the portuguese and (later) spanish crowns and had jewish investors to back him in both cases. that he was fluent in portuguese (a surprising fact given he was supposedly genoan), that he married felipa, the daughter of the governor of the madeira island, bartolomeu perestrello, of a more than likely converso family, that his writings are impregnated with old testament (not new) citations, that he starts his journal stating that he set sail one day after the "day of the expulsion of the jews", etc. i suggest you take a look at this book: O Português Cristóvão Colombo - Agente Secreto do Rei Dom João II (in portuguese)

YaherKoach Dr Henry, best regards from Down Under, Melbourne Australia. I believe this story is accurate, please tell me if it isn't all comments welcome. Columbus and his crew on his voyages brought back beautiful "talking parrots" birds which delighted the then courts of Spain and eventually all the courts of Europe. These talking (squawking) aesthetically pleasing birds were a novelty , the Royal Court had never seen or heard anything like it. Interestingly in Hasidism these 'Talking birds" are used as an analogy for performing Mitzvot Torah Commandments that are exceptional! is this true?

Great that comments are on for this one. Why were the comments turned off for the (sadly very short) polish origins video? Did some jerks ruin it for the rest of us? Great to see the comments here - this is a cool question. I think Columbus was a "converso." That 1492 timing was pretty key and besides, his name being "Christofero" - literally "christ bearer" takes on a new meaning if the confessions of PUBLIC conversion was felt to him as a kind of burden.

How many Christians in those days would care about the fate of Jews, enough to search for a new homeland?. Only another Jew, IMHO.

The jokes are classic, I'm a Newfie so I loves a joke. The history is world class.

Syria and Lebanon are where Phoenicia was, Canaanites in the Semitic tongue, for some reason call their money Lira, like in Italy. So he was not Jewish but if you read the Bible even Jacob married the daughter of Leban-(on) and the Israelites frequently married Canaanites. Under Solomon (as) they were allied with the Kingdom of Phoenicia, King Hiram of Tyre his friend and if you look into it you will find that Solomon and Hiram sent out people to colonize other territories, the Phoenicians were expert sailors, which explains why Venice is a city of canals quite well.

He was a poor sailor and didn’t know where he was going. He says as much in his diary.

Of course Christopher Columbus was Jewish . 🤔 My mother had an uncle named Cristoval, he was also called Tio Tova, uncle Tova. Hispanics tend to shorten names, in the case of my mother's uncle Cristoval was shorten to Tova. Now everyone knows that the Hebrew letter Bet is also Vet. So let us look at Christopher Columbus's name in Castilian/Spain. Cris-tova-l , so right there in his name is the Hebrew word tova which means good. Another example of this type of crypto naming is the name Nestor. It's a common name in both my parents Family. Break the name Nestor in half you can see that it's Nest-or. In Hebrew the word for mericle is Nes, and for light is Or. So my point is that the Anusim were very creative when it came to names. So yes, Christopher Columbus was Jewish.

My father told that suit joke many years ago. Isn't it great . . .

I loved that joke too. Thx for sharing it. I also wanted to find out from you Mr. Abramson if you have any information about the Zarah tribe migration to Spain? I’m of the opinion that Zarah members settled in Spain. Plz if you can give me any data would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

Columbus was from Portugal; and in his letters he refers Portugal has his beloved home furthermore why would a Spanish, Italian or polish person give Portuguese names to all the land he found without ever being in Portugal or be a Portuguese citizen himself

Columbus did not signed his name as Christophorus Columbus (Italian) or Cristóbal Colón (Spanish) but as Cristoforo colon in Portuguese, also everything points that Columbus was a Jewish but there's no definite proof of it

Why do they try to hide their evilness

"Κολόμβος" is a last name found in the island of Chios in Greece. Certain aristocratic families in the Byzantine empire had that name.

As a black man, my dna rings up various Jewish ethnicity. My father is dominican. My grand mother has white hair and almost blue-eyes. When visiting dominican republic there synagogues but there was also a infusion of accepting refuges during the war with nazis. I don't like to link it to the migration from the past of Trujillo but I think my grandmother is direct descent of Iberia. Some of the Jewish refugees in dominican republic moved to Miami. You can see it in the wall art. My grand mother is almost 90 and my grand father is almost 100

No way would someone claim to be Jewish during inquisition years. Nope.

Exactly. This makes the jewish theory unlikely.

I agree with you that Columbus had a different origin story than what we're commonly told, and I do agree with you that he went out of his way to conceal his true identity, but I do not agree with you that he was a jew. There just isn't enough evidence to support that claim. Not once in his writings did he ever mention that his entire motive for finding the new world was to find a new home for the prosecuted jews. Even if he did go out of his way to hide his jewish identity, how did he obtain funding from the king and queen? The common jewish argument that "he was funded by two rich jews" does not make any sense. So then how was the spanish crown able to claim the new discovered lands as their own if it was solely funded by a few rich individuals? So if he was in fact able to obtain funding from the king and queen, then they would have surely figured out that he was a jew....seeing as it would have been virtually impossible to gain an audience with European royal dynasty at the time without them fully knowing what families they were doing business with. I feel as if people who support this argument cling onto the fact that he must have been jewish just because the year he sailed was the same as the year that jews were ordered to start packing up and leaving Spain. This disregards the fact that Columbus for years prior was trying to obtain funding from various royal families including the Portuguese and french. Also, Columbus was able to marry a catholic portuguese woman from a noble family. If he was jewish, why would he have done this? And how would her family have let this happen? You must not forget that the 1400s was a vastly different time which did not allow for such unities. And also, if he was jewish, and his primary goal was to "find a new land for the jews" then how come it never came to fruition? Why did he return to spain and return back to the new world for a second and third voyage and essentially not fulfill this plan of "populating the new world with the jewish people"? Perhaps I am wrong, but it just does not add up in the context of the late 15th century. The theory that is the most plausible is the Galician theory, which states that Columbus was actually the man known as Pedro Alvarez de Soutomaior, also known as Pedro Madruga, a Galician noblemen, born into a wealthy family of sailors who had strong ties to the spanish crown. Later in his life, Pedro Madruga gained enemies amongst the spanish monarchs and had to flee to portugal during the irmandao revolution in Galicia (might be mispelling that), where he gained his connections to the portuguese navy. When it came time to obtain funding by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand (which he did in fact), both the King and Queen knew of his reputation, and only agreed to fund his voyages if he changed his identity....so he took his mother's maiden name, Colon, and one of his middle names, Cristobal. Many people also claim that his infamously mysterious signature had jewish meaning behind it. But this, once again, is weak evidence. The Galician theory explains it far better. It has already been decoded by Galician historians as simply representing the Soutomaior family tree, each letter representing a portion of the names of his father, grandfather, and great grandfather, simply paying homage to his true family roots knowing that his identity had to be switched. The evidence is compelling and I suggest any one reading this to do their research.... over 80 calligraphic experts have confirmed that both Pedro Madruga and Columbus' writings are of the same individual. Another compelling piece of evidence is that he named over 100 of the first locations he discovered in the new world after several locations along the Rias Baixas, in Pontevedra, Galicia. Also, there is EMPIRICAL evidence which states that both Colombus and Madruga had children who beared the same names, had wives who beared the same names, were both in Madeira at the same time, and were both in the Spanish courts at the same time. There is FAR MORE evidence which supports the Galician theory. Unfortunately, it just seems to me to be a common case of groups of people trying to claim Columbus as their own, while cherrypicking the very little amount of proof that there is that he was actually jewish, or Catalan, or Polish, or Portuguese, or Italian.

Not likely to be jew, but not 100% clear, most probably Columbus was a great Portuguese, and he and portuguese king did their job so nicely done, that until today no one knows the truth about his identity, because he served his King so well until death. His job was to send Spanish interests to everywhere but India. Well done Colon, Portugal will remember you forever!

His mother converted so she and her children are 100 percent Jewish

The large part of the confusion is that Christopher Columbus was descended from Khazars that we largely know today as Israelis or ashlenazi Jews which are not actually of Semitic origin but descend from Japheth which is why it’s confusing when he says that Columbus is not a Jew it’s because he doesn’t view the ashkenazis as the true Jews but it is an interesting point to note that Columbus also came from this people because this people had perpertrated the most corruption upon the earth yet always seem to stay hidden in the backgrounds and are never viewed as perpetrators or instigators but are always at the middle of every conflict or overseeing and funding both sides. It’s also an interesting point when we look at the fact that the majority of the slave ships and plantations when we check the documentation the owners was Jewish but we only here about white people enslaving blacks you never ever hear about the Jewish people and there hand in slavery
