Tears ago I saw a documentary on this on PBS. What's most amazing about it is the rocks which form the sun dagger are shaped to deflect its movement vertically as the Earth rotates. That would be some "accidental rockfall", especially when the other slot for the moon light does the same. In that documentary they took a laser to the sight and tested the moon slot and spiral so they wouldn't have to observe it every night for 18 to 19 years. Prior to that, they made a mockup to test with the laser to get vertical deflection from moving the laser horizontally. Bizzybody ( talk) 04:48, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
