    What I don't understand: what difference makes it for Columbus' discovery of which origin he was? There are many questions that make me doubt: did they find any proof of any such child that was born in Cuba at the time Columbus should have been? Is there proof that the supposed father spent time in Cuba? That he knew the supposed mother? And the assumption that he was a portugese spy does not make sense. Why didn't the portugese King pay for the exploration trip? And if Isabella found out that he was a "spy" how come he came out of jail? If Isabella found out that Columbus made sure that the portugese Crown received a bigger piece of what Columbus found with her money, that wouldn't have been spying, that would have been high treason ... I am sorry, this all doesn't add up, no matter where Columbus was from.

      And why was it the Spanish who tanked the world's economy with New World gold and not the Portugese?
      It does seem like there's some fiction-making in trying to explain why it's interesting or relevant that Columbus was of Portugese origin. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes bastard children of nobility make their way in the world as private (pun intended) people and they make their decisions for their reasons. Reasons which the documentary does a pretty great job at the beginning of telling us are inscrutable and impossible to know.
      I agree with you, though. Something is missing in the interpretations presented.

      He was born in Cuba, Portugal. That's why he named the biggest island Cuba and he gave other Portuguese names to some 20 more islands. The spy thing is simple. The Portuguese king didn't want the Spanish kings to go south of Africa and to India, so a plot was made to convince the Spanish kings that he could travel to India going west.
      He was a spy working for the Portuguese king and he made some things that prove it. When he departure from Seville, he stoped at the Azores Islands. That's Portugal, that means that it would be impossible for a foreign ship to sail those waters and even worse, to stop in one of the islands, they would be killed on the spot. Another thing that shows he's Portuguese and he was working for the Portuguese king was the names of the islands and the final thing was that the first thing he did when he return to Spain was to stop in Portugal and went to speak to the Portuguese king. Oh, and everything he new about sailing, he learned in Portugal.
      Why would he go to speak to the Portuguese king first?. Its simple and crystal clear.
      And the difference of him being Italian or Spanish or Portuguese is just to tell history the right way.
      Its not important, but if people are going to learn about it, let it be the right way.

    What a really nicely done production. Lots of new insight that hasn't been brought to light as of yet. DNA testing was done in 2003 on Columbus's remains in Seville and confirmed it was him, however, I did not know that some remained in the New World in the Dominican Republic and Cuba. I wasn't aware of the question behind his origin, the shrouded mystery behind his name, or who his family was. Fleeing the peninsula in search of the new world was always something troubling to me as the connection never made sense, but this along with the historical impact of the times of the purge of muslims and jewish families from the region makes more sense and gives more historical context. I look forward to the next chapter where his lineage can be confirmed as a bastard son of the Duke of Beja. This would be a fascinating peak into the times. Thank you for the time well spent listening to this!

The second snippet of camera image in the crypt/tomb/coffin you can see a head outline and nose is visible. The body looks wrapped in white linen, unless it is the harshness of the light within the dark small space.

    He wasn't Jewish. His desire was to do missionary work and brought priests with him.
    Most accounts of this mistake his motives by focusing narrowly on economic or political reasons. But in fact, his primary motive was to find enough gold to finance a crusade to retake Jerusalem from the Muslims, as evidenced by a letter he wrote in December 1492 to King Fernando and Queen Isabel, encouraging them to “spend all the profits of this my enterprise on the conquest of Jerusalem.” In this, he believed he was fulfilling conditions for the Second Coming of Christ. Near the end of his life, he even compiled a book about the connection between the liberation of Jerusalem and the Second Coming.

He was indebted with the plan of the catholic kings to extend catholicisim to the new world. This can be seen often in the introduction of "Guadalupe" which means river of wolves in arabic. The spaniards attempted to convert the moors from islam to catholicism by creating the Virgin of Guadalupe IN SPAIN. It didn't go over well, but was adapted in the new world as a synchronous relationship to the indigenous who had a similar diety in Coatlicue and Tonantzin.
      It very well could be that he was jewish and the documentary shares information as to why, the purge of the non-catholic population. In any case, overall a great documentary imho.

      @ShaggyDogPhilosopher 2 роки тому

      Something I remind myself often when I think about historical figures is that sometimes the firsthand accounts we have from them, the primary sources, are lies. Regardless of his private reasons for seeking and finding the New World, why would he tell Ferdinand and Isabella anything other than exactly what they wanted to hear?
      We exist in a world where we can tell our leaders that, whoops, we lost them trillions of dollars, and continue living. The President of the US isn't declaring death sentences and edicts to kill people who wear the wrong sort of hat. This is not the case of historical figures. What is Columbus going to do in the event that he is and identifies as a Jewish mystic? Is he going to tell Ferdinand and Isabella? They're the same couple who initiated the Spanish Inquisition as a CONDITION OF THEIR MARRIAGE. Their Reconquista was about kicking non-Christians out of Iberia. Lol. There were nearly as many Jews as Muslims in much of general Iberia. Like....
      Anyway - nothing is ever as simple as what anyone writes in any account that survives to history. Public figures of the past knew that their writings would be scrutinized after their deaths and went to GREAT pains to hide their secretest thoughts. Think of Leonardo Da Vinci's journals. How many centuries did it take for scholars to decode many of them? In fact, you can assume that anything anyone wrote which survives to this day is probably a bald faced lie. Whether it be the private journal of a king or of a common peasant. We write about ourselves because we want others to believe we've done something worth reading - and we write about others because we're paid to. And nobody in the historical world was paying anyone to tell them they didn't have any interest in the Conquista of the New World.
      Just a thought.

Columbus wasn’t headed for India. His goals were 1) East Indies 2) Japan 3) China. He also never said he reached India. He certainly deserves All the credit for finding America (I’ve read a 1/2 dozen books on this)

By the time we landed at Plymouth Rock, Spain had already enslaved the indigenous ppls of now California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Read your history! I know what I'm talking about.

Videos like this make me really feel hurt and angry that we were taught some kind of propaganda instead of the truth. :( Why then were we taught that the people of the time were primitive and unsophisticated in their knowledge about geography. Why were we told that Christopher Columbus erroneously believed he was sailing to India and because of that the inhabitants of the western hemisphere were called Indians?? Why were we told that then they believed that if you went to far you would fall off the edge of the flat earth when apparently they had far more knowledge about a Neil Adams expanding earth or perhaps a hollow earth which could be sailed into on the underside like Admiral Byrd claimed to. How then would they cover up an ancient atomic bomb explosion or some sort of field propulsion craft such as vimana and vailixi in India. Could it also have been that during the time that Jesus Christ lived on planet earth that the Romans and the Jews knew far more about global geography and technology than we do today? or was there a two tier system of those that understood geography, science technology & those taught superstition?

    Columbus did not name many places in Cuba. He named the islands that he discovered and the places he founded on Hispaniola: Navidad, Isabella and Santo Domingo. That was his main area of influence. On the island of Cuba he only went ashore a single time, he never came anywhere inland.

      It's not been Columbus who came up with the name 'Cuba' for the island (to possibly make a hidden reference or to express that he's really portuguese as stated in this video from the 'experts'- they're just constructing 'alternative truth/facts' here..
      Upon discovering the island, Columbus initially named it *Juana* after the prince Don Juan . In 1515, his father Fernando II , King of Spain, ordered the name to be changed to Fernandina.
      The name "Cuba" probably comes from the Carib or Taíno language . The words coa (= place) and bana (= big) mean something like "big place". Columbus wrote that he landed at a place that the indigenous locals called Cubao , Cuban , or Cibao . These designations apparently referred to a mountainous region near the landing site in eastern Cuba.
      The Cuban writer and etymologist José Juan Arrom described the following origin of the word in 1964: Accordingly, the term 'kuba-annakan' or 'cubanacán' exists in the Arawak language , which means something like “country or province in the middle”. It can thus be assumed with certainty that "Cuba" means something like "country" or "province" in the language of the locals.

    'Maybe this..', 'maybe that…', 'perhaps this..', 'perhaps that…' ..twisting and turning even his signature and putting a mirror there to 'prove' that his real name was Salvador Fernandes Zarco (which he sort of encrypted in there according to this 'experts' acting in this documentation..). Raises the question: Are there no remains of his claimed to be mother Zarco left for DNA testing? Or any other family member of the Zarcos? And as for the Island of Cuba: Columbus DID NOT name it Cuba- when he discovered the island, he named it 'Juana' - in honor of the son of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand II. In 1515 it got renamed to 'Fernandina' - by the order of King Ferdinand II himself. By that time Columbus has already been dead, he died 1506. So the whole 'theory' about the island of Cuba (Name) can simply be thrown into the garbage bin since Columbus had nothing to do with naming it 'Cuba'- so trying to construct a 'fact' here that this has to be sort of a 'hidden' hint here that he's been portuguese is just lame and bares any logic. According to etymologist(s) the word/name 'Cuba' derives from the words 'kuba-annakan' or 'cubanacán' (meaning 'Land or Province in the middle') used in the language of the Arawaks/Taínos which lived there when the Spaniards appeared. My conclusion: If just one thing/theory stated here in this 'documentary' would be true, it would be undoubtedly proven by now..

    Like Hollywood or authors, anyone can write up any fiction for novelty or drama? Recorded history describes young Columbus w a religious calling to find a shorter route to the East Indies, partly to facilitate import of spices, and partly to introduce his national Christianity to the inhabitants. He spent 7 yrs trying get financial backing; and finally convinced Queen Isabella of newly consolidated Spain of her religious obligation to finance 3 small ships and crew, reimbursed by likely spices and gold returns.
    A priest aboard Columbus ship took note of Columbus religious entries into the ships log; and the crew were led in prayer ev morning by Capt Columbus, himself. In addtn, reportedly, disrespectful language of religion was forbidden among the crew. After one such voyage there were accounts of some jealous politicians later having Columbus arrested on some trumped up charge and delivered back to Spain in chains. He was quickly exonerated by the court, and authorized to continue his explorations of the New World Islands.
    Why would anyone dedicate yrs of his life, and health w no acct of riches for himself in small boats in uncharted hurricane waters unless it was for a right cause; and to be knighted as Admiral, if successful? Some ships were sunk. New fads quickly catch on among many enthusiasts for awhile, esp in today's revised history classes in schools, and race, and ethnic bait divisions. The latter recorded religious dedicated version sounds more credible?

    It's amazing that this could be true. In America we are taught all things Columbus.

We have believable evidence that the Vikings set foot in the New World way before Columbus and now with all this research in this video that was done it could debunk the whole theory. What is alarming is how the ruling class( our governments) can change the narative of all things and have the power to dismiss other truths and label it as fake news. Something what Face book and other evil platforms do. Look at the US...they take Covid 19 and mail in ballots to rid themselves of Trump.

All we can do is keep up our good imaginations, fulfill our curiosity, and fill in the blanks with it. It is interesting and entertaining, but NEVER will it be accurate. That's History for you. If the ending has no final conclusion, it is just the imagination of curiosity that winds up making a documenary out of nothing.
