The origins as well as the final resting place of the 15th-century explorer who led Spanish-funded expeditions from the 1490s onward, opening the way for the European conquest of the Americas, have long been argued over among experts. Many historians have questioned the traditional theory that Columbus came from Genoa, Italy . Other theories range from him being a Spanish Jew or a Greek, to Basque, Portuguese or British. To solve the mystery researchers conducted a 22-year investigation, led by forensic expert Miguel Lorente, by testing tiny samples of remains buried in Seville Cathedral, long marked by authorities there as the last resting place of Columbus, though there had been rival claims that he was buried in the Dominican Republic. They compared them with those of known relatives and descendants and their findings were announced in a documentary titled 'Columbus DNA: The true origin' on Spain 's national broadcaster TVE on Saturday.
