... the reason being is that the precession period would have to constant, the earths rotation rate would have to be constant, the earths orbital period would need to be constant, and all of these things would need to be in phase. Tidal friction slows all of these things down.
@PHONEYPOLITICS Well, that would be correct based on the current model you see everywhere. However, there are reasons to believe that the precession of earth is not consistent i.e. it the precession decays and wobbles itself over extremely long periods of time due to unequal distributions in mass. Also, is this the reason they give when they say something is pointing to a celestial object? However, now that I think about it harder, I can't even see how that would work...
I concur, #2 is your best bet. Precession has altered the direction, yes. When I start writing things, I don't always think them through until after I send. The "specific times of the year" was in reference to various alignments, but relative times each year. Sorry.
@DTK5689 Basically that leaves you with 3 things. 1. It either was designed to point at something once a day at variable times. 2. Designed to point at something once a year but no longer does so due to precession. 3. Points to these things due to chance.
I go with 3 as 1 is just a chance event anyway and 2 would suggest that it no longer points to anything which is not what is being claimed here.
A lot of cultures used the vernal equinox to calibrate there observatories as that special day of "pointing" (stone henge ect.) However, I heard no mention of a specific day and there are not to many people who understand astronomy, that think the pyramids are an ancient observatory. Besides, due to precession of the vernal equinox, the day of the vernal equinox has changed quite a bit since the times the pyramids were built. Also, it would no longer point in the same place.
@DTK5689 That would mean if you had Orion on the Eastern horizon and Scorpious on Western horizon that 6 months later Scorpious will be on the Eastern Horzion and Orion on the Western. So, an object on earth can only "point" at a specific celestial object one day out of the year. Every other day it will point at something else.
@DTK5689 Even if the "pointing" takes place at the same specific time every day, it would still not work. What you are thinking about is due to the Earths orbit about the Sun, and not precession. Precession is due to the earths axis which is very slow and neglectable over the course of ones lifetime. Due to earth's orbit around the sun, everyday we lose a small fraction of the stars we can see in the West and gain a small fraction of what we can see in the East.

@ryanb126 you missed 4 = points to a thing every one total precession c.26k yrs.

- Or should I say at dawn at specific times of the year?
