You're probably right. I know about the precession of the zodiac. Don't know. Is a star able to move say, a degree, in 3,000 years? Seems like a pretty high amount of motion to me. 100,000 years, I could understand.

The precession of the Earth's pole has a cycle of about 26,000 years. Hipparchus knew about this about 2000 years ago.
