The Precession of the axis, refers to the change in the Tilt of the axis. The axis itself does not change. The Tilt of the axis changes because the Earth Wobbles in it's rotation.
It cannot change the direction on the ground.
I think Doc_Gabby and Sri. Stein are correct.

Perhaps you can shed some light on the following:
Peter claims that this precession changes the orientation of buildings
over long of time -- that a building facing due east will be facing
due west in 13,000 years due to precession (assuming it is still
there (this is "thought" experiment -- useful for clarifying
concepts.) And this thus makes SV quite releative to time, and makes
invalid in the long run.
Judy claims that the sun will still rise in the east in 13000 years.
I suggest that if Judy is correct, a building correctly facing the
sun per SV now will be correctly facing the sun in 13000 years.
If Judy is not correct, and Peter is, the sun will be rising from the
west in 13000, the building will be facing the wrong way.
So who is right?
Judy: the sun will still rise in the east in 13000 years.
Peter: the sun will be rising from the west in 13000, the building
will be facing the wrong way per SV.
The postions are mutually exclusive. This is not a "Paradox of
Brahman". Both statements cannot be true -- even if some
psuedo-enlightened want to suggest that anyone who can't hold both as blissfully true will never be enlightened. :)
