Thanks for apology Loa as I was meaning something different with respect to the term Planet X. Most do not know that Venus makes a pentagram in our sky. Some Astronomy software packages (like Starry Night Pro) can Illustrate this event for those wanting to actually see it. An understanding on basic terms like synodic period and sidereal year to view this will be needed as well. A total of 584 days for unit of duration will display the position of Venus and one can see the pentagram appear. My question on this really becomes, who measured Venus for 584 days and said... "hey cool... look at this Nancy..." <<lol>>. How did the Mayans know this for example. They measured the pathway of Venus extensively during the capture event and then watched it closely afterwards from my understanding.
I would need to see some references regarding "the time factor" mentioned in your reply regarding Paganism. In the meantime, here is some some additional information in support of the theory (not mine) that I'm currently studying.
William Whiston, born in 1667, published in 1696 his New Theory of the Earth. In this book he claimed that the comet of 1682 was of a 575&half year periodicity; that the same comet had appeared in February of 1106, in +531 in the consulate of Lampadius and Orestes, and in September of -44, the year of Caesar’s assassination. Whiston further asserted that this comet had met the earth in -2346, and caused the Deluge (Great Flood).
Whiston found in classical literature references to the change in inclination of the terrestrial axis and, ascribing it to a displacement of the poles by the comet of the Deluge, concluded that before this catastrophe the planes of daily rotation and yearly revolution coincided and that, therefore, there had been no seasons. He also found references to a year consisting of 360 days only, and although the Greek authors referred the change to the time of Atreus and Thyestes, and the Romans to the time of Numa, ca. -700, Whiston ascribed these changes to the effect of the Earth’s encounter with the comet of the Deluge. Whiston thought that the Earth itself was once a comet. (Source:

It is thought that this comet became captured and is the one that became Venus. Note: I may need to extract that last statement pending further review...
