Oct 11, 2024, 11:12 PM
Spanish scientists have confirmed that the remains of Christopher Columbus are entombed in the Cathedral of Seville. This conclusion comes after more than 20 years of DNA analysis led by forensic investigators from the University of Granada, headed by Professor of Legal Medicine José Antonio Lorente. The DNA study has definitively identified the bones as those of the discoverer of America, solving a 500-year-old mystery surrounding his final resting place with absolute reliability. Despite this confirmation, the mystery of Columbus's true origins remains unresolved, with further revelations expected soon.
