If there are, then it would tend to reinforce the idea that one can read things into historical events.

This material on the physical planetary alignment relation to the 2147 year period was provided in response to the question, why 2147? I think it provides a good empirical answer. I thought about starting a new ATM (or general science?) thread on this planetary alignment material, as I can see why you say it is a different matter, but I do think it relates very closely. This finding on the relation between the SSB and the Great Year is new and interesting, and to some extent takes the discussion on from historical cycles, but it shows the natural basis for expecting to find the cycles I am describing and so is directly relevant here.
It is analogous to ocean tidal patterns: no one is surprised that crabs come out at the same phase of each tide; its just that when we look at such a slow cycle frequency as precession people find it very hard to get their heads around it, and also find it hard to view free people as subject to ecological cosmic cycles.
If anyone wants to study historical cycles with other frequencies then good luck to them. I see little point except as you say that this would be a useful comparator for the 2147 year phasing, especially if it could be somehow statistically quantified with a regression analysis, but that is beyond my skills. There would be merit in looking at history against the 179 year barycentre phases as that period is also part of the same natural harmonic cycle. My underlying aim here is to unpack how precession provides a framework for terrestrial cosmology, using historical correlations as a signpost.
PS: for any prime tragics out there, 2147 = 113 x 19
