A groundbreaking new documentary titled Colón ADN. Su verdadero origen, which aired on RTVE, has reignited debate over the origins of the famous European explorer Christopher Columbus. Released on Spain's National Day, the documentary presents controversial findings challenging long-held beliefs about Columbus' nationality and religion. According to new DNA evidence, Columbus may not have been the Italian Catholic that history has portrayed him to be. Instead, he was likely a Sephardic Jew from Western Europe who hid his ethnicity to escape persecution.
