DNA Confirms Christopher Columbus's Remains in Seville

Spanish scientists use advanced DNA analysis to verify the explorer's final resting place and prepare to disclose his true origins.

Researchers have definitively identified the remains in Seville Cathedral as belonging to Christopher Columbus after over two decades of study.
The DNA analysis compared Columbus's remains with those of his son Hernando and brother Diego, confirming their authenticity with absolute reliability.
The question of Columbus's birthplace remains unresolved, with results to be revealed in a documentary airing on Spain's national broadcaster.
Multiple theories about Columbus's origins exist, ranging from Genoese, Spanish, Portuguese, to Jewish, but the scientific findings are expected to provide clarity.
The Dominican Republic also claims to hold Columbus's remains, as both sets of bones are incomplete, suggesting a possibility that parts of him may rest there too.
