Gracious. The "Admiral of the Ocean Sea" was as much a traveller in death as he was in life. I imagine he would have got a chuckle out of that.

This kind of reminds me of the Mexican who offered Pancho Villa's skull for sell.
First skull was Pancho Villa as a young boy and the second skull was Pancho Villa as an adult.

I hear he had a mistress named Nina. ;') And another one named Maria (but he only visited her around Christmas).

Anybody see the special on Columbus about a week ago on the Discovery Channel?

[CaptRon]

the anthropologists have already concluded that the body in Seville is too young and puny to have belonged to the rugged, hefty sailor who, depending on which version of history you prefer, was either Italian, Spanish or Portuguese.

I'll say it is.

I watched the Discovey Channel special on this about 2 weeks ago. They opened the ossuary in the Seville chapel (with a descendant of Columbus present)and all that was in it was a lot of dust and a few small bone fragments. How they can determine the stature of someone base on this is beyond me, even though I know that forensics is quite sophisticated today.

Columbus is much repected in the Dominican Republic. But who was he really?
