Yes, it was my mistaken extrapolation of what he said. I thought he was saying the orientation to the sun changed one degree every 72 years. And I just did the math 72* 180 =13000 years. As I now understand it , he would hold that the orientation changes 24 degrees every 13000 years. Or one degree every 541 years. My main question still holds. Does the orientation of a building to the sun really change at that rate? Like pyramids, 4000 yrs / 500 is about 8 degrees. Has the orientation of the pyramids to the sun changed 8 degrees? A recent poster says no. If he is correct, then Peter's point about SV getting out of whack over time is invalid. >As far as I can tell, he was saying what I told > you, that there would be a 24-degree variance. > > That 24 degrees (at 13,000 years) is the *most* it > varies from the starting point--and then over the next > 13,000 years the variance decreases until it's 0 degrees > at 26,000 years.
