Pedro Teixeira was a Portuguese conquistador and explorer born sometime between 1570 and 1585 in the Vila of Cantanhede, Portugal, to a noble family.

He was a Knight of the Order of Christ and arrived in Brazil for the first time in 1607, quickly proving himself as a military commander during Portugal's campaign against the French in Maranhão.

He fought in the Battle of Guaxenduba and distinguished himself commanding a key fort during that conflict.

Teixeira became a central figure in the early colonization of Pará, participating in the founding expedition of the city of Belém in 1616 under Francisco Caldeira Castelo Branco.

Shortly after Belém's founding, he led two armed canoes against Dutch and English forces who had established positions along the northern shore of the Amazon, capturing a Dutch vessel in the Xingu estuary.

Over the following years, he led multiple military campaigns against foreign powers attempting to establish footholds in the Amazon basin.

By 1625, Teixeira had systematically dismantled Dutch and English fortifications along the Xingu River, defeating commanders at the forts of Orange, Nassau, and Taurege, effectively expelling European rivals from the Amazon.

He also briefly served as interim governor of the Captaincy of Pará in 1620 after his superior departed for Portugal.

The defining chapter of Teixeira's life began in 1637 when two Franciscan friars paddled the entire length of the Amazon River to the Portuguese settlement of Gurupá after fleeing hostile natives.

Their unexpected arrival inspired the governor of Maranhão, Jácome Raimundo de Noronha, to commission a formal expedition to explore the river all the way to Quito.

Teixeira departed on 28 October 1637 from Cametá with a fleet of 47 large canoes carrying 70 soldiers, several clergymen, and approximately 1,200 Indigenous crew members.

His guide for the upriver journey was the Franciscan friar Domingos de La Brieba, one of the two friars whose earlier voyage had sparked the expedition.

The fleet passed the mouth of the Rio Negro in January 1638 and reached the Napo River on 3 July 1638, finally arriving in Quito in September 1638 after more than ten months of travel.

On 16 February 1639, Teixeira began the return journey from Quito to Belém.

On 16 August 1639, approximately six months into the return trip, he founded a settlement called Franciscana on the River Ouro, believed to be the modern Aguarico River, naming it in honor of the friars whose journey inspired the entire expedition.

The fleet arrived back in Belém on 12 December 1639, completing one of the most ambitious river journeys in the history of exploration.

For his accomplishments, Teixeira was promoted to Capitão-Mor and accepted the post of governor of Pará on 28 February 1640.

He died on 4 July 1641, and his remains were laid to rest at the Belém Metropolitan Cathedral.

The native peoples of the Amazon had called him Curiua-Catu, meaning The Good and Friendly White Man, a title that speaks to the relative diplomacy he extended during the expedition.

Pedro Teixeira's Amazon expedition had consequences that stretched far beyond his own lifetime. By traveling the full length of the river and founding the settlement of Franciscana as a territorial marker, Portugal established a legal and physical claim to vast stretches of the Amazon basin that far exceeded what the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas had originally granted them. This claim was cited extensively in negotiations over a century later during the Treaty of Madrid, which redrew the boundaries of South America largely in Portugal's favor. His systematic expulsion of Dutch and English forces from the Amazon region in the 1620s secured the river as a Portuguese-controlled corridor, preventing rival colonial empires from fragmenting the basin. Together, his military campaigns and his epic river journey shaped the territorial boundaries of modern Brazil.

O Líbano tem um presidente cristão.

O Líbano tem uma bandeira cristã.

O Líbano foi fundado por cristãos.

O Líbano tem comunidades cristãs que remontam aos apóstolos.

Israel está bombardeando o Líbano.

Está matando cristãos.

Já matou padres.

Está matando crianças.

O Estado farisaico-sionista de Israel representa a maior ameaça às comunidades cristãs do Levante, o berço do cristianismo.

Warning. Extremely disturbing content.

We want to show the British people the truth about halal slaughter.

Watch the video for yourself.

There is now a political party that would ban both halal and kosher slaughter - Restore Britain.
