Brasil 500 Anos (Flash, 2000)

Rebuilt from the brasil folder on a backup of my old hard drive. The original plays below, sound included, thanks to Ruffle.

On April 22, 2000 Brazil turned 500 (counting from the day Cabral showed up, the people who were already here have a different opinion about that), and the whole country had a countdown clock for it. So I made my own, in Flash 4, with my friend Rodrigo Leo.
