Christopher Colombowicz: America's discoverer Polish not Portuguese, claim historians

You forgot the West and the East, lol
Hey, anything is possible nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised if they'll find out that Mozart was really Mozartski and Einstein, Einsteinowicz.

Don,t forget Marco Polowicz and Vasco de gamaski...!

Jeez, I forgot those two, too. Sorry about that.

Oh, before I forget, there was a James Cookski too.

I bet when all the truth comes out...Poland actually owns the whole world...!

Which means...Poland invaded itself , failed to come to its own rescue , and allowed itself to occupy itself after the war...!

Who is gonna take the blame for that i wonder....?

I'll take the blame, what the hell.

Good man...you can always say it was an accident...

Very Interesting article.

Thanks for the post Stu :)

If more and more distinguished professors are coming to this conclusion then there has to be something to it.

and why nobody mentioned Amerigo Vespuccinski? America bears his name now. No?

I agree with you, that's an insult indeed.

Shouldn't it be "Ameriga"? :):):)

"Vinland" sounds much nicer...;)

Not really, according to the "new facts" presented today, it would have to be either "Amerigski" or "Amerygowicz".

Not all lost. Vinland (Wineland) name is used for California. :)

Did anyone mention Lewicz and Clarkski?

You are not wrong about that, try some of these little gems.

this one is from a doctor: "I notice you picked a particularly Polish looking (ie. round and greasy) picture of CC for this post." (-my response to him would be you are from America buddy, last time I had a look there were quite a few round greasy individuals in your country)

"you should've seen him try to tie his shoe."

"Which explains all the sailors lost while digging graves for funerals at sea."

"Hah!! That explains it all. Speaking of which, anybody know why all the polish navy's submarines have glass bottoms? So they can see their air force. Sorry, couldn't resist."

and this an extract from the actual article: 'New research indicates that Christopher Columbus was the son of a Polish king! "How many explorers does it take to mistake the Bahamas for China?"

New research indicates that Christopher Columbus was the son of a Polish king! "How many explorers does it take to mistake the Bahamas for China?" would be an inappropriate response. Give up some respect. Who's your daddy now, America? (Poland.)

Yes being a Pole can be a bit tough sometimes):

Oh how I miss England...

Hey I lived in Southampton with a leaky toilet for 3 years! (with Poles!)

leaky toilet must have made them feel at home.

Merged thread:
"Columbus wasn't Italian"

Christopher Columbus Son of a Polish father and a Portuguese mother???

watchingamerica.com/News/78858/christopher-columbus-was-the-son-of-king-vladislav-iii-of-poland/

do we change the history now!!

What kind of person would joke about this?


Yes it does now it is time for Poland to invade USA and reclaim it.

Yes Yes like people of Polish ancestry don't know there is anti-Polish prejudice out there LOL

Really? I would have never though of that ;)


It also partitioned it self several times.


the Jews or the English

Zinedine Zidanowicz next? Or maybe Marek Polowicz (Marco Polo)? All those Polish connections are there, you know? ;0

...the voyager was not from a family of humble Italian craftsmen as previously thought - but the son of Vladislav III, an exiled King of Poland...

For some reason he hid the true identity of his Polish biological father from most people during his lifetime, and history books have been none the wiser.

The author of the article does not know that the story is absolutely impossible: (s)he should have known that the Władysław III was a homosexual and thus would have rather had sex with men rather than with women, ergo would not have children.

Here goes the facts: Jan Długosz in his Chronicles of the Kingdom of Poland unambiguously suggested kings homosexuality. It is clear, however, that faced with Władysław possible homosexuality, the popes preferred not to take unnecessary risks by canonising him.

However, the journalists' efforts could be used to a good cause. Let me explain. There are many saints whose behaviour, judged by the modern standards, could be considered more bizarre than homosexuality. Isn't it a high time for the RCC to make up for the lost of time and proclaim Władysław Warneńczyk the saint. What do you think about this "ultimo aggiornamento"?

"Who Discovered America before Christopher Columbus?
Many people had reached the continent of America before Columbus. The people from Asia reached America thousands of years before Columbus and became the inhabitants of this land. Norse expeditions to America had started much before 1492 AD i.e. in 986 AD. These expeditions were initiated by Bjarni Herjolfsson. Most of the expeditions before the time period of Columbus were not documented properly. As per some records, Chinese Admiral Zheng was the first to discover America. It is however, said that these claims cannot be considered true. This is because, none of the voyages of Admiral Zheng went beyond the Indian Ocean. As per Icelandic sagas, Norse explorer, Leif Erikson had reached America long before 1492. The remains of a viking-type settlement were found by archaeologists in Canada (1963). These remains are believed to be around 1000 years old."

Does this mean Norwegians get to take over the Indian casinoes? Instead of Tipi's and Totem poles with ornaments, we'll have "Valhalla Casino and Gambling" and "Valkyrian Roulette"...with humongous statues of Thor and Odin at the entrance...hmm...

I read about the Kennewick man....9300 years ago....maybe he was Andrzej Kennewicki?

Ah, history is funny nowadays with the whole DNA and carbon dating thing going into overdrive....in the end we probably didn't come out of Africa, but Siberia.

I only provided this information to show who really discovered America. Whoever Columbus was, Portuguese, Italian or Polish, it wasn't him.

Thanks for the info! I actually find it very interesting, that so many "facts" that we grew up with are being questioned, and in many instances have to be revised. We had a very bold and brave explorer here in Norway, Thor Heyerdahl, who set sail over the Pacific Ocean from South America to the Polynesian islands in a self-made raft, to show that people there also were descendants from South America and not only Asia as previously thought. He also built a raft and sailed between the old South America and Africa and the Middle East to show how trade and interaction between these areas could be possible as far back as 3 000 years ago. He tried and failed, then tried again, and succeeded on rafts built from materials used back then. Before that, nobody thought it was possible. And so the historybooks had to be changed/altered, to show that indeed was possible.

One of the few points worth mentioned is that he was ridiculed, his theories were seen as "adventure-tales" and many "real" professors and historians did not take him seriously. They had to swallow their pride considerably when his rafts hit the shores of his destination intact with everyone onboard alive.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_Heyerdahl

Anyone visiting Norway must visit this exhibition, it's in Oslo. They have the raft and everything on display.

One of the last things he worked on before his death was the fact that a people living close to the Black sea by the river Don, were the Scandinavians forefathers as mentioned in the chronicles of Snorre Sturlasson famous Folk Saga writings, who people mostly have believed were a mix of folk tales and imagination. Heyerdahl though had other ideas, his theory, combined with excavations and relics found in a city named Azov, was that these people in the old folktales were real and migrated up north as the Roman Empire grew bigger, and settled in todays Norway, Sweden and Denmark. "The hunt for Odin":

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakten_p%C3%A5_Odin

These are quite fascinating theories, and if one has an open mind, some are logical. But again, most professors and historians are sceptical, but also mocking him openly again. Maybe they will stop one day.

So, if Christopher Colombus really had a Polish father, then let the people following this do their work, and see what they come up with.

Nie prawda!
This "Christopher Colombowicz" Cristovão Colombo, was a Italian navigator. Im an expert in history.
Thank you. :)

Don`t be silly. He was Polish. As clear as the Italian sky.

I just think, "Never mind. Christopher Columbus was Jewish (at the same time, phew and damn). The "damn" part because that would have been interesting if he were Polish. Then again, I'm Jewish; so why the "damn"? It's that mixed part of me, I think--I can be such a bag of contradictions, and for that I still can't wrap my head around that I'm Jewish."
