After years of speculation and analysis, scientists have finally confirmed that the remains of Christopher Columbus are buried in Seville Cathedral. Using DNA technology, researchers compared fragments found in his tomb to those of his relatives, ultimately proving their connection.
For the past two decades experts have been comparing DNA taken from the samples with relatives and descendants - leading to the groundbreaking discovery.
Whether the explorer was Italian had always been up for debate among experts, which, with the advancements in DNA, have also been looked at. Columbus found Cuba later that month, and in December his crew landed on Hispanola, where he established a colony with 39 of his men before returning to Spain with Native captives he called "Indians."
