In the entry Sowing & Germinating Amaryllis Seeds I posted that one of the methods you could employ when trying to sprout Amaryllis seeds is to float them in water. I floated them in the water on Jan 8 and today is Feb 6 and a few days ago I noticed one seed had started to sprout already. As I mentioned in that entry I never had luck with it before and I'm surprised that it worked for me this time. But as I think about what I did different this time I'm guessing that this time what helped them sprout was putting them in a very warm spot where they got a lot of sun and a lot of warmth. Remember to change the water weekly and keep an eye out for evaporation and fill the water back before the seeds dry out. The seeds I started in a soil-less mix have also started to sprout. I'll update this entry with a photo of those seeds when they get large enough.
