What do you think the significance is of the Morning Star?
Thus, Venus passes between the earth and the sun 5 times in 8 years, meaning that it completes 5 synodic periods in 8 years, or 5 complete evening/morning star cycles. The Mayans had carefully tracked the cycles of Venus, and had noticed that 5 Venus cycles of 584 days just equalled 8 years of 365 days (5 x 584 = 8 x 365). Notice the great difference between the sidereal and synodic periods of Venus: its sidereal period is less than 8 months, but its synodic period is 1 3/5 years.
Sirius is one of the 27 stars on the flag of Brazil, where it represents the state of Mato Grosso.
Mato Grosso (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈmatu ˈɡɾosu] - lit. "Thick Woods") is one of the states of Brazil, the third largest in area, located in the western part of the country.

I feel like a right party pooper now!
The only reason I had a doubt about the date was that I remember a news article about the movie Avatar being released on Earth Day and how it has broken all previous DVD release sales.
Here is a similar link for the article.
In ancient Roman religion, the Robigalia was a festival held April 25. Its main ritual was a dog sacrifice to protect grain fields from disease. Games (ludi) in the form of "major and minor" races were held. The Robigalia was one of several agricultural festivals in April to celebrate and vitalize the growing season, but the darker sacrificial elements of these occasions are also fraught with anxiety about crop failure and the dependence on divine favor to avert it.

Here's another Rik Clay video which touches on topics Proto's laid out here in this thread
This particular video also predicts the nature of the future world-religion .... not as bad as you might suspect
There are 1 through 10 Rick Clay videos which support Proto's thread
I've watched them before, but seeing them again now, in combination with Proto's posts at the commencement of this thread, is a marvellous sort of synchronicity. I recommend them
