That's what 'long - time observation of cycles' means.

Not when it's recorded by word of mouth. If it was recorded in some way it could at least be trusted to be somewhat accurate, depending on how they're able to measure and verify it.

What about the ongoing debate that man couldn't have made the pyramids due to the weight of the stones, the distance from the quarries, etc?
'Experts' and 'modern science' both can't agree on how they were made.

Can you link a serious scientist who thinks it was impossible for us to build the pyramids? We don't know the exact methods but from what I've read it's not seen as impossible, just mysterious. There's lots of theories on how it was done but unfortunately we'll probably never be able to verify it because we can't reproduce the conditions they were built in. It would be very hard to get 20-50k volunteers to work for close to 100 years on a project for people they think are gods. Besides the workforce and motivation we'd have trouble because we don't know their exact methods. It's clear that they perfected their art so it's not like aliens came down and divined this method on the spot. Other ancient structures nearby show clear signs of progress towards the ones we see in Giza.

But we're speaking more on the precise alignment of the structures, and on that I can only say that yes, they must have used compasses and othersuch devices which I suppose could be linked to 'modern science' - but all this having taken place thousands of years ago negates the link to 'modern' times.

Pyramid building cultures are considered advanced for their time, as far as I know. They were the modern scientists of their day.

So how is it different than the Inuit and Eskimos observing the sky over thousands of years

Oral tradition, eye witness testimony is unreliable and often riddled with bias and contradictions. Lack of resources to build appropriate tools. I don't claim to be an expert but I doubt any nomadic people could be considered scientifically literate until they settle and contact modern civilizations, like the Inuit meeting Europeans and getting access to stuff like iron.

Just because their information isn't cataloged or categorized in some database doesn't make it worthless.

I never said worthless, I said not on the same level as real science. I also said it's a starting point and that's not a bad thing at all. Science starts with observations right?

Don't forget the Mc Hula.

I wish I could forget that image.
