What’s so strange about this? Columbus is one of the most important explorers in history, but his past, and resting place had been unconfirmed - even his birthplace was unknown.
500 years later after multi-year dna study, we now have the information and it paints a very fascinating picture. He left Spain in August, the same week that Jews were kicked out. This explains why he left Spain. He was known as a catholic, but it’s now clear this was due most likely due to forced conversion.
History is important, and this is a significant dna study that sheds light on the legacy of a key figure.
