If I did the math correctly, 2170BC isn't far enough away from 2550BC to allow Thuban to arrive at the required off-axis angle. But it does seem possible that Thuban may have been at least partially "visible" down the DP in 3350BC. Actually, Thuban may already have undershot the LOWER limit of the DP portal by 3350BC. I think Thuban may have been more centrally positioned in the DP portal sometime closer to 3000BC, the several major presumptions made in this estimate, notwithstanding.
