Default Archeology and Astronomy

I can't recall exactly which shows I've seen this oversight...
Many times I'll be watching a show about ancient civilations Mayan, Egyptian, etc. And they talk about how the ruins are pointed to significant celestial objects. But they rarely take into account the earth's precession. It wobbles over a period of 26K years or something.
What it was pointing at 5,000 years ago is not there now.
