¿Qué se esconde bajo tierra en la calle Guatemala nº 24 de Ciudad de México, como lo ha preguntado la presidente de la Comunidad de Madrid, @IdiazAyuso? Se esconde esto: una torre circular de 4,7 metros de diámetro, llamada TZOMPANTLI, hecha por los aztecas con más de 600 cráneos resultantes de la industria del sacrificio humano. La plataforma de argamasa, cal y piedra de tezontle se remonta al periodo del tlatoani Ahuízotl, entre 1486 y 1502, y confirma el relato de los cronistas españoles del siglo XVI, Bernal Díaz del Castillo, fray Bernardino Sahagún y Andrés de Tapia. Un patrimonio precolombino que desde su descubrimiento en 2015 el gobierno mexicano aún mantiene cerrado al público.

A new DNA study has revived a long‑running theory that Christopher Columbus may not have been Italian at all, but actually Pedro Álvarez de Soutomaior, a Galician nobleman also known as Pedro Madruga. Researchers compared genetic material from remains believed to be linked to Columbus with DNA from documented descendants of Madruga’s family line, finding striking similarities. This theory argues that Madruga disappeared from historical records after a regional war in Galicia, the same moment Columbus suddenly emerged in Portugal with a new identity, nautical expertise, and connections that would later launch his Atlantic voyages. Supporters of the theory point to additional clues: Columbus named over 100 places in the Americas after Galician towns, and 80 handwriting experts have concluded that Columbus’s writing style is virtually identical to Madruga’s. If true, this would radically reshape the accepted biography of one of history’s most famous explorers, suggesting he may have concealed his origins for political survival. While the theory remains debated, the new DNA evidence has pushed it further into mainstream historical discussion. One of the strangest supporting clues is Columbus’s 'obsessive use of Galician‑Portuguese language patterns', even in private notes. His letters contain idioms, spelling habits, and grammatical structures that do not match Italian dialects of the era but align closely with the writing of nobles from southern Galicia. Even more intriguing: Columbus repeatedly used Galician nautical terms that were not common in Genoa or broader Italy, but were standard among sailors from the exact region where Pedro Madruga ruled. Linguists argue this is nearly impossible to fake, especially for someone supposedly born and raised in Italy, and it quietly strengthens the case that Columbus was hiding a past tied to Galicia’s political conflicts. © The Historian's Den #drthehistories
