Italian Skeletons Reveal Old World Diseases By Rossella Lorenzi, Discovery News Columbus: Syphilis Spreader? April 12, 2004 -- Researchers investigating Italian cemeteries have found further evidence to confirm that syphilis and rheumatoid arthritis plagued the Americas long before the arrival of Columbus.

The remains were investigated for the presence of bony alterations characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis, gout, spondyloarthropathy and syphilis-causing organisms, called treponemes. Indeed, syphilis is known to scar and deform bones. Legend holds that Columbus and his...

Reputed Columbus Remains in Spain Exhumed By CIARAN GILES, Associated Press Writer MADRID, Spain - A chest containing the supposed remains of Christopher Columbus was exhumed Monday for DNA and other tests to determine whether the bones are really those of the famed explorer.

In the presence of two descendants of Columbus -- Jaime and Anunicada Colon de Carvajal -- researchers removed two boxes from an ornate tomb at the cathedral...

Experts are confident a ship found off the Panama coast did belong to Christopher Columbus. After six months of research, scientists and archaeologists are sure the ship was used on his last trip to America. It was found 155 miles east of Panama City. Director of the National Culture Institute of Panama, Rafael Ruiloba, told the Clarin newspaper: "There is now sufficient evidence that this is La Vizcaina." Researchers have learned the ship was made with the same material and using the same process used at the end of the 15th century. It also coincides with the historic description of...

Young bones lay Columbus myth to rest Giles Tremlett in Madrid Wednesday August 11, 2004 The Guardian (UK) A centuries-old historical row over the whereabouts of the body of Christopher Columbus appeared to have been solved yesterday when scientists in Spain conceded that the corpse buried at Seville's gothic Santa Maria cathedral was not that of the famous explorer. Instead, the bones they studied were probably those of his lesser known son, Diego, who was a small and weedy man, unlike his father. Christopher Columbus's body, the experts say, almost certainly lies back in the "new world" he sailed to...
