In the early 17th century, a Portuguese explorer named Bartolomeu Campos de Queirós set out on a voyage to find the legendary Southern Land, a vast continent rumored to exist in the South Pacific. Queirós was a man of vision and ambition, and he believed that he could find this new world and claim it for Portugal.

A Journey into the Unknown

Queirós's voyage was a long and arduous one. He and his crew faced storms, disease, and starvation, but they never gave up. Finally, after months at sea, they reached the shores of a new land. Queirós named this land "Austrália do Espiritu Santo," and he believed that he had found the Southern Land.

A Land of Wonder and Beauty

Queirós and his crew spent several months exploring Austrália do Espiritu Santo. They found a land of stunning beauty, with lush forests, towering mountains, and crystal-clear waters. They also encountered the native people of the land, who were friendly and welcoming.

The Search for Paradise

Queirós believed that Austrália do Espiritu Santo was the earthly paradise that he had been searching for. He decided to establish a colony on the island, and he named it "Nova Jerusalem." Queirós hoped that Nova Jerusalem would become a beacon of hope for the world, a place where people could live in peace and harmony.

A Tragic End
