Two Countries purportedly House the Remains of Christopher Columbus. For years, this has remained a mystery. Now, a team of archaeologists and scientists may be assembling to Find out, once and for all, which, if either of these tombs, hold the real remains of Christopher Columbus.

Another great link, Danustouch! :thumbsup: Are you sure that you aren't a reporter? After all, you lead me to so many great stories.

I always thought that Columbus was buried in Seville. It is complete news to me that some think that Columbus is buried in the Dominican Republic. I thought that it was interesting that high school teachers were the ones who suggested that DNA be used to find out which grave has the "correct" Columbus. I would have thought that history professors would have made that suggestion first.

Here's a thought. What if they do the DNA tests in both locations and find that neither grave belongs to Columbus? :eek: Oh, Oh
