Posting hint: Keep it short and sweet as most people WILL NOT be reading all that you have written.
I don't think this is true. NOBODY will be reading that stuff. From what I can see it has precious little to do with the subject and is an enormous screed without any point.

Consider, the biblical "Mary" on this subject of the OP -

http://virginmarybook.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Mary-English.pdf

Rome says,

"... At the same time, it must be confessed that we do not possess any authentic documents bearing directly on Mary's post-Pentecostal life. ..." - CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Blessed Virgin Mary

"... Regarding the day, year, and manner of Our Lady's death, nothing certain is known. ..." - CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Assumption of Mary

"... St. John of Damascus (P.G., I, 96) thus formulates the tradition ..." - ibid.

"... The feast of the Assumption

Regarding the origin of the feast we are also uncertain. It is more probably the anniversary of the dedication of some church than the actual anniversary of Our Lady's death. That it originated at the time of the Council of Ephesus, or that St. Damascus introduced it in Rome is only a hypothesis ..." - ibid.
Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica (the Angelic doctor, Imprimatur, Nihil Obstat) -

"... I answer that, Nothing is handed down in the canonical Scriptures concerning the sanctification of the Blessed Virgin Mary as to her being sanctified in the womb; indeed, they do not even mention her birth.

But as Augustine, in his tractate on the Assumption of the Virgin, argues with reason, since her body was assumed into heaven, and yet Scripture does not relate this. ..." - SUMMA THEOLOGIAE: The sanctification of the Blessed Virgin (Tertia Pars, Q. 27)
