I'm Brazilian from Minas Gerais state, my boyfriend and I did a DNA test and it shows both of us have the CCR5 mutation resistant to HIV and other diseases. My family and his family are direct descendents from the Suebi, a south Sweden/Germanic tribe that mixed with the Portuguese Celts. 10% of the Swedes have this CCR5 mutation, this DNA follow the modern Portuguese people to Brazil, giving us this wonderful DNA. My boyfriend has bright blue eyes and I have light hair. We are from Patos de Minas.

Wow and the greatest chapter of Portuguese history has yet to take its premier place on the world stage in the Age of Exploration. I think it’s good to have an appreciation of all of it and went through in their own history before the 14th century, as those are the roots of their greatness. From an American living in Lisbon.

I shall miss future expeditions to Gallicia and Porto regions, due to my illness.<br>Ive met many Portuguese people whom ive loved, immensely, East Anglia was another hotspot for my brothers and Sisters, good workers, decent folk, and very hospitable.<br>This film aids, somewhat in the understanding of Why.❤❤🇬🇧

Being such a tiny country it's quite incredible how Portugal "punches above it's weight " when it comes to influence in gastronomy, languages, agriculture and technological advances... even not being a rich country nowadays it's arguably one of the best places to live

As a Portuguese, it's an honor to see your interest in the history of my people. Hearing Camões' verses recited after this fantastic video about such a vast and fascinating history gave me goosebumps and moved me. Thank you for that. Following!<br>Greetings from Portus Cale. 🤝
