Trouble is, in the northern hemisphere, there's only one point in the sky that never moves. But it ain't dark. A very bright star called Polaris sits there.Polaris was not the Pole Star when the Pyramids were built. (Over a period of several years, there's no point that never moves.)

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.
