News summary

After more than two decades of research and DNA analysis, scientists have confirmed that the remains interred in Seville Cathedral, Spain, belong to Christopher Columbus. Forensic scientist José Antonio Lorente led the investigation, which involved comparing DNA samples from the Seville remains with those of Columbus's brother Diego and son Hernando. This discovery resolves the long-standing debate about Columbus's final resting place, while a forthcoming documentary, 'Columbus DNA: The True Origin,' will address the mystery of his nationality. Traditionally believed to be from Genoa, Italy, alternative theories propose he could have been Spanish, Jewish, Basque, or Portuguese. The comprehensive study utilized advancements in DNA technology and involved international labs to ensure objective results. Despite these findings, some experts suggest that parts of Columbus's remains might still be in the Dominican Republic, reflecting his body's historical relocations.
