Again, this is a misunderstanding. It is analogous to you saying that because snow fell first in November one year and in January the next that the cycle of the year does not exist. Of course we know the year exists.
We know that the year exists. We can measure our geometry quite accurately and show how the geometry changes in a cyclical fashion. From our understanding of physics we even have an understanding of the mechanism by which this cycle affects weather. However...

If you limited yourself to observing snowfall data at my current location over two annual cycles you would be hard pushed to make any real estimate of the cyclical behaviour of snowfall. For example the first decent snowfall of the season has actually occurred on the first day of spring. As you only appear to be covering human history over less than two of your hypothesised cycles, I cannot see how you can make any claims regarding a historical cycle of 2147 years.
