The main thing that is bugging me right now is this:
It seems plausible that the North Pole was somewhere in the Arctic at the end of the last Ice Age. But, this was a time of maximum glaciation. Would
the North Pole be in the same place at a time of minimum glaciation (i.e., the current era) as it was at the time of maximum glaciation? It seems
doubtful. It should be offset by some amount. If so, then how can the Giza Pyramids be aligned to our present North Pole instead of the late Ice Age
North Pole. The North Pole would not have been at its present location in the Egyptian Old Kingdom, either. It was likely shifting from the Bering
Sea and well on its way to the Hudson Bay by that time (if the climate change model proposed above is correct).
One solution would be that the
Great Pyramid was originally constructed/ oriented when the Arctic was ice-free, in other words, at the end of
the last Inter-Glacial Period. In that case, it is a
"Way, Way Back Machine"! The last time the Arctic would have been free of ice was
between 121,000 and 126,000 years ago.

Using the info on page 150 of
The Great Pyramid Void Enigma,
there would have been an Orion Belt pivot minimum 123,474 BCE (125,474 years
ago), which is about right for the last meltdown of the Arctic.
A related issue is the alignment of the Queens' Pyramids with the Belt of Orion pivot. It would have been easier to set up that alignment when the
pivot was either at its maximum or minimum points. The opportunity for that happens once every 13,000 years. However, if a max or min pivot point
was not too far off, then I suppose the alignment could still have been achieved by extrapolating the current pivot position forward.
Scott is locking in on a completion date of ~10,500 BCE, but I think that a date of ~13,000 BCE makes a little more sense in terms of the ice core
data. In other words, they constructed it before the start of the pole shifting that made it difficult to build anything significant. But, again,
how did they determine the polar alignment at either of those dates?
We also have to keep in mind that the Precessional Cycle and the Pole Shift Cycle are probably not closely synchronized, if at all.
One advantage
of a "Precessional Clock" would be the ability to keep track of time independently of all the Earth's convulsions.edit on 5-2-2022 by
