... The precession cycle I recall from one class or another was somewhere about 25,800 years. Say Stonehenge was 1/5th of that ago...that's about 7 degrees change. That surely would throw off the sight? OK, if we throw out the clock for the solstice does it still point to the soltice just at a different time?.
Shouldn't that be approximately 70 degrees?
