Brazil & Zaire - From the Amazon to the Congo, Majestic Rivers of an Empire

 From the Amazon to the Congo, the great rivers from the heart of Africa and the heart of South America, united these nations.  Although Zaire has reverted to a new flag and an old name, the green flag of the Greater Eastern Congo meets in providential harmony the latter day green flag of Brazil.  

Similar lands by biome, yet light years away culturally.   Just as the native animals differ in alien yet familiar rainforest.  The impact of Europe is understated as a blessing and burden.  

Yet, they are similar sisters who sit on opposite sides of the ocean, who long long ago when the Earth was in a different part of the galaxy were connected by land - whence one could have walked to Congo from Brazil in under an hour. 

 Both flag essentially feature  a fire in the sky.  Long ago we did not know stars were spectacular flames of heaven, likewise the torch was our first step in technology, as level 1 'light saber' that gave us comfort during the night just as the stars still do today. 

They honor the lights of Heaven and Earth, as understood by man.
