Polish or Portuguese? I've heard this discussion before. Christopher Columbus who didn't "discover" the Americas since people had already been living there a long time while actually on his way to South Asia, India has long been the subject of an investigation into his nationality.
Historically hailed as the son of humble Italian craftsmen, 20 years of research asserts he was the son of an exiled Polish King. Experts will insist the tale of a humble Genoese weaver has been debunked. Columbus' Royalty likely convinced King Ferdinand to fund his voyage of discovery.
Columbus' fraud reported his birth in the Italian city, Genoa in 1451, son of Domenico Columbo a weaver with a cheese stall in the city market but he was infact the son of King Vladislav III.
He continued his quest to find Asia for the rest of his sailing days.
A book by Manuel Rosa will unfurl the revision in history.
