This is correct, his name was Nikolaos Ypsilantis. Read "The Secret Destiny of America by Manly P. Hall.
In the 1400's people knew the sky...they knew where they were - the sky doesn't lie. You living in this day and age of technological ease and celestial ignorance, maybe you would be lost...but not them. Every single man on those ships knew better than to get lost.

the columbus family of italy was shoes maker...they had nothing to do with the sea...on latin his name should be christobal but he was singn as christopher wich is greek name...columbus on the space of his writens he was comunt on greek languge.and for the unhitosricals.chios that time was under genoa republic.columbus said that he was from the red land.genoans called chios as red land.also before he start to go to america he visit chios.
one thing i do know is that i have many friends from chios,greece,,,with the last name COLOMBUS..how is that possible if italians and potugese say that colombus is a latin name how then has this name been in CHIOS for centuries
The reason that you don't find any writings in Italian from Columbus is because he was essentially illiterate until his adult life which was lived abroad in countries like Portugal and Spain. During his time the Portuguese were leading the world in navigation and he learned most of his advanced seamanship from the Portuguese. He even married a Portuguese woman and is buried in Portugal.
He was born in the Republic of Genoa, which at the time, spoke various languages, but predominantly Latin and Italian. Italian then derived into standard Italian, after the unification of all the states. The original name in 15th century Genoese language (which is a dialect of Italian, like fluorentine) was Christoffa Corombo, which is rendered in modern Italian as Cristoforo Colombo.
Italians and Portuguese and spanish need to answer back with real clues. gracie gracias ( :/ i became italian? NO!! i am spanish! WTF) ok let not say he is blah blah. give clues guys
but noone that isn't Greek can translate his name.. i am greek and i can do that easily. his name is 2 words combined into one. It is a definetely greek name. i also think Yanos is correct as he is a european and the name Europe has its origin from the daughter of Zeus as she was named Europh. So i guess we should search ourselves if he is hellenic (greek) or not. But until now the proofs are tending to be more to greek nationality status on the guy.
He was born in the Republic of Genoa, which at the time, spoke various languages, but predominantly Latin and Italian. His records are in a museum in Italy if you want to see, but no one every tells u that, unless u see for yourself.

But his journals were in Greek and Latin, his "secret" journal was in Greek. And his annotations were in Greek. If you were working for a Spanish monarchy, ofcourse you would speak Spanish.
His Journals were never in Greek, it was only in Latin. And if you mean to tell me he was Greek, its not true. He spoke many languages, but that doesn't mean he was from that country. All we know is that he wrote in Latin and in a language similar to Latin (in his jourmals) and not Greek. The only language that still exists today which is 80% derived from Latin is Italian. And since they have records of him being born in the Republic of Genoa, he was Italian, since that was a part of Italy.
he was Italian. Republic of Genoa was a country within a country, just like how the Vatican is in Rome. Once the republic of Genoa new it couldn't rely on its self it merged with its motherland Italy and became just Genoa. So Christopher Columbus came from Italy and was born there.
Chios was part of the Republic of Genoa, being Genovese doesn't make him Itlalian, because Itlay wasn't a Nation then (as such) he still could have been Greek AND Genovese, since Greece wasn't a Country then either like Italy.
Republic of Genoa was a country within a country, just like the Vatican is in Rome today. Or Monaco in France. And don't forget San Marino as well. At the time, the Republic of Genoa was striving so well, that they didn't need Italy, eventhough Italy recognized them as a region of the country. After some problems, republic of Genoa realized it needed the help of the whole nation and became Genoa. Genovese is still a dialect spoken in Italy today and is one of the oldest in the country.
i think he was Italian. his name was Christoforo Colombo he was modern in Genoa. i mean look on the wiki they even give names of his parents. but u can't always trust the wiki lol
History books recognize his GENOA birth, so stop it.ANd anyway, the real man who discovered it was AMERIGO VESPUCCI, ITALIAN TOO

Whether Columbus was Greek or Catalan can be debated, one thing is 100% he was definitely not Italian and from Genoa, that is well established now
