Christopher Columbus, more than just an explorer; he was a secret Jew, a converse - a man on a mission to find a vast lad - a place that would be home to Christianity and a refuge for the Jewish people to escape the horrors of the Spanish inquisition. His initial voyage of discovery was funded not by Queen Isabella's jewels, but by a group of wealthy Jews without whom his journey would not have been possible.
Columbus was also in search of a source of god - King Solomon's Mines, the gold of Ophir - in order to recapture the City of Jerusalem from the infidels and fund the restoration of the Temple. He traveled with a Hebrew-speaking interpreter in hopes of finding the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.
