Iso,

I have found that Archaeo-Astronomy is one of the best ways to confirm/disconfirm some of the various interpretations of geologic data put forth in alternative views of deep anthropologic history.

Also, from that viewpoint I'm finding that it's more likely that the observation of precession might be due to the sine wave-like motion (when viewed inward or outward along the galactic plane) of the entire solar system (as it follows the Sun's path) in reference to the galactic plane.....rather than a, still as yet undocumented by any real data, "wobble" in Earth's rotation.

The "wobble" would show up in positional observations relating to the planets in our solar system...but it does not. While it does show up in reference to distant stars and constellations of stars which would also be moving in a similar, cyclic, helical manner.

I also think that our Sun very likely has a binary companion...as do most stars. That companion is not shown in the video below but one can easily envision its presence as opposite to the Sun in the motion presented.

Soooo, Iso,

The previous video shows the 60 degree "angle of attack" at which our solar system is currently situated in its helical progress.

In the following video, Eugene Bagashov discusses this same "angle of attack" observed in the path of
Oumuamua as it and our solar system came into mutual proximity.

As a fringe conjecture I'm inclined to think that the obelisquely shaped Oumuamua has an orbit transiting from our Sun to its as yet unidentified binary companion.

If that's the case, Oumuamua could be considered as an hour hand of a galactic clock with specific relevance to cyclical influences on our solar system.

But that's so highly speculative I (sorta) just see it as a "fun" exercise in keeping an open informed mind.

Have a great weekend.

Scientists Find 40,000-Year-Old Star Maps Featuring ‘Sophisticated Knowledge of Constellations’

“Early cave art shows that people had advanced knowledge of the night sky within the last ice age. Intellectually, they were hardly any different to us today,” explained Dr. Martin Sweatman, from the University of Edinburgh.

“These findings support a theory of multiple comet impacts over the course of human development, and will probably revolutionize how prehistoric populations are seen.”

The scientists concluded that these incredible cave paintings are evidence that ancient humans practiced a sophisticated method of timekeeping based on astronomical calculations and all of this despite the fact that the cave paintings were separated in time through tens of thousands of years.

“The world’s oldest sculpture, the Lion-Man of Hohlenstein-Stadel Cave, from 38,000 BC, was also found to conform to this ancient time-keeping system,” reveal experts in a statement by the University of Edinburgh.
The mysterious figurine is believed to commemorate a catastrophic asteroid impact that occurred around 11,000 years ago, kick-starting the so-called Younger Dryas Event, a period of sudden climate cooling.

“The date carved into the Vulture Stone is interpreted to be 10,950 BC, to within 250 years,” scientists explained in the study.
“This date is written using precession of the equinoxes, with animal symbols representing star constellations corresponding to the four solstices and equinoxes of this year.”
