In the last 16 years I have been analyzing various documents related to the Italian Columbus and I have verified that they are all false! It is very easy to reach this conclusion! The true navigator never signed his name in any document. He always used his Sigla.

(1) Here it is his true Sigla in a TRIANGULAR shape |
(2) Here is his true Monogram |
(3) Here is his true Blessing
Even in the last twelve letters he wrote to his son Diego, a few months before
is death, he used his Sigla, his
Monogram and his Blessing.
Here is an example of one of those letters. Let us note his Blessing (Barush Ashem –> God Bless you), on the upper left corner, his Monogram (SFZ –> Salvador Fernandes Zarco) in the left lower corner, and his Sigla on the right lower corner.
Now let us analyze, very carefully, all the details, of the Sigla he used in tenths of documents. We are going to analyze his Sigla as if it were an electrocardiogram…

Photo of a true Sigla Here
is the true Sigla which in its total
(1)
On the superior floor there are 6
dots and 7 letters |
We can read the superior floor of the Sigla this way .S. .S. A .S. à dot S dot; dot S dot; A and dot S dot à which means: Sanctus, Sanctus, Altissimus, Sanctus. This repetition of Sanctus is used even today in the Catholic Church ceremonies.
The letters [ XMY ] stand for [X ] = crossing or son of [M ] Mary and [Y ] stands for Joseph. Therefore the entire top floor signifies a salutation to Christ, as son of Mary and Joseph.
But the most important part of this top floor of the Sigla is the letter [ Y ] or the so called Greek [ Y ]. We have to know that until the seventeenth century the Roman alphabet did NOT possess two letters: the letter [ U ] and the letter [ j ]. Before this date the letter [ V ] was used in the place of the letter [ U ] and the letter [ Y ] in place of the letter [ j ]. This information is very important for us to verify later the falsification of the documents attributed to the Italian Columbus.

(2) The inferior floor starts with colon [ : ] followed by 9 letters
[ Xpo FERENS ] terminating with semi-colon [ . / ]
Let
us note that above the letters [ po ] there
is a “ceiling”
which in Greek means an acute accent of punctuation.
The Genovese or false Italian Sigla
The
defenders of the Italian theory based their argument, very strongly, on a
document called “Military Codicil”, (a
small codex or addition to a last will), which
is dated May 4, 1506, fourteen days before the navigator died, in Valladolid,
Spain, on May 20, 1506.
Now
let us analyze this Italian false document:
First
we should note that the text is all written in Latin. The true navigator NEVER
wrote ANYTHING
in LATIN !
Let us analyze the style of the Genovese Sigla.
It does NOT have the TRIANGULAR form with the two floors which is so consistent of the true Sigla.
It has instead a RECTANGULAR shape, with one part on the left and the part on the right.

Let us concentrate on the left part. The upper part has four dots, instead of six between the letters [ S S A S ].

This is part of the false sigla |
This is part of the true Sigla |
Now, let us pay attention to the lower part combination of the letters [ X M j ], in the false sigla. It has dots between the letters an uses the letter [ j ], instead of the letter [ Y ]

False sigla with dots between the letters and with the letter [ j [ instead of [ Y ] |
True sigla --> No
dots between the letters and has the letter [ Y ] , NOT [ j ] |
But the most important difference that falsifies the Italian Sigla is the letter [ j ], in the place of the letter [ Y ] . This letter [ j ] did NOT exist in the Roman alphabet in 1506!!! This is fraud! It is obvious that this document had to be made or written in the seventeenth century!!!
Now let us analyze the right part of the
false Genovese Sigla.

This is false sigla: We notice immediately that the colon sign [ : ] is missing at the beginning. And that the letters [ po ] have been falsified by using instead [ py ] and this combination does not possess the “ceiling” sign. Furthermore [ FERENS ] does not terminate with the semi-colon sigh [ . / ] Compare this with the true Sigla on the right. |
Compare this true Sigla with the false sigla on the left! |
Why so much falsification, so much counterfeit
and forgery, to fool the entire world?!
Other facts destroying the Italian theory:
The
defenders of Genovese theory and the Italians, have in the past
180 years, have expressed their joy and vanity boosting that the navigator
was Genovese. But they should get ready to accept the bare truth that the true
navigator did not have Italian blood, but was instead 100% Portuguese! This will
be a tough and bitter pill for the Italians to swallow, but the truth is like
olive oil, always comes to the surface of the water!...
(1)
The
Genovese was a wool carder and his family were all wool carders. They never had
any maritime experience. His Italian name was Cristoforo Colombo. But the name
that appears on official documents on the last part of
the fifteenth century – such as the Papal Bulls by Alexander VI, dated May 3r,
and May 4th, 1493, show the Portuguese name Cristofõm Colon.
Why the
Papal Bulls do not show the Italian name Cristoforo Colombo?!
(2) The Italian Columbus NEVER wrote ANYTHING in Italian and NEVER spoke Italian!!! He left Genoa at the age of 24, but the Genovists say that he forgot his Italian!.. How ridiculous can anyone be? “Porca Miséria!”….
(3)
The
true navigator only wrote and spoke in Portuguese and Spanish. His Spanish is
Portuguese adopted into Spanish, according to some Spanish historians!
(4)
If
Cristoforo Colombo was born in Genoa
and was Italian, how come he NEVER gave ANY Italian name – NOT even the city
where he was born – to the places on the islands in the Caribbean Sea, such as:
Genoa, Rome ( the headquarters of the Catholic Church), Venice, Florence,
Naples, Turin, Milan, Palermo, already all famous cities five hundred years
ago?! How come the maps the true navigators made after his four voyages to the
Caribbean
have more than 40 Portuguese names and NOT a single Italian name?!
Here are the 40 Portuguese names in the Greater and Lesser Antilles, after the 4 voyages:
| Guadiana, Ponta de Santo António, S. João Baptista, Porto Santo, Mourão, Isabel, Sanctus Spiritus, Sta. Clara, S. Nicolau, conceição, Cabo de S. João, Cabo Alfa, S. |
Cabo Roxo, S.Miguel, Cabo Omega, S. António, Sta. Catarina, S. Jorge, Ponta Galera, S. Bernardo, Bocas das Serpentes, Boda do Dragão, Margarita, Ponta de Faro, |
Domingos, Boca de Touro, Cabo Isabel, I lha dos Guinchos, Salvador, Santarém, Cuba, Curaçao, Brasil, Belém. S. Vincente, Sta. Luzia, |

How
come a wool carder was able to marry Filipa de Perestrelo, the daughter of a
most noble Portuguese citizen, Governor of Madeira and Porto Santo, when in
those days the differences between social classes – peasants and nobles –
were enormous and very restricted?!
(6)
There
are in Italy more than one dozen localities that claim the navigator was born in
their city! How ridiculous can
it get?!
Italy and all Italians do not need to claim this wool carder as their false great navigator, because they can be proud of their Roman-Italian accomplishments and their outstanding many contributions to the world civilization!
Here is the translation of the false Military Codicil written in Latin.
You do not have to be a lawyer to detect that its contents is deceptive and its handwriting is forged.
"Codicil of Christopher Columbus made after the manner of soldiers.
"Since the Most Holy Father Alexander VI presented me with a book of devotion which I have had with me and which has been my solace in captivity, in battles and in adverse fortunes, I now desire that after my death this precious gift may be given for a memorial to my most dear country the Republic of Genoa, and on account of the benefits I have received from said City, I wish a new Hospital may be built from my Indian revenues, for the better care of the poor of my country, and in case of the extinguishment of my male line, I declare and substitute the said Republic of Saint George (Genoa) my heir to the Admiralty of the Indies and to the other privileges connected therewith.
"Done at Valladolid May 4,1506.

Please, note that the writer used the letter [ Y ] in the word of May, but prefered to use the letter [ j ] for Joseph!... This is a false sigla!!!
