Researcher casts doubt on Christopher Columbus' ancestry

Modern Day Sherlock Holmes Unearths New Evidence;
Claims Columbus Was Secret Agent » Duke Cancer Institute
Christopher Columbus 'was Polish not Portuguese' claim historians | Daily Mail Online


The fresh evidence about Columbus’ background is revealed in a new book by Manuel Rosa, an academic at Duke University in the United States.
He says the voyager was not from a family of humble Italian craftsmen as previously thought - but the son of Vladislav III, an exiled King of Poland.

An IT analyst for the Duke Cancer Institute, Manuel Rosa turns sleuth in his free time. A native of the Azores, nine volcanic islands situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, Rosa began his career in the publishing industry. Fluent in several languages, he was asked to translate, from Portuguese to English, a biography on Christopher Columbus. As the project progressed Rosa discovered what he believed to be historical inconsistencies. Fascinated by his initial findings, he concluded there was much more to Columbus’s story than that taught in grammar schools. After two decades of intensive research, Rosa has become, by some accounts, an expert on the man credited with discovering the Americas.

The book has been translated into English and seeking a US publisher.

These books present for the first time evidence that the “Official Columbus History” was a monumental fraud, accepted as fact. Even though mysterious and illogical, it was never methodically scrutinized until now. These books are the first to be accepted by the academics as containing evidence that:
  • The Ship Santa Maria never sank off the coast of Haiti it was marooned on purpose.
  •  Columbus always knew he was not in India, he lied when he said he had reached India.
  • Columbus Last Will of 1498 is a forgery created some 80 years after he died.
  • Columbus’s wife was aunt to high nobles including the king’s Lord Chamberlain.
