You don't attach any special significance to this middle point anymore - after you found the G2-Sphinx line?

I see your point. But I am not sure what to make of it.
To me it seems to be unnecessary convoluted. If the builders wanted to convey a message/date, surely they would have done so in a way that ensured that they didn't fail miserably for thousands and thousands of years - until you decided to look at ratios.
To decide what is meaningful and what is coincidence is a challenge here.

I would like to expand on my thoughts on the implied circle as the "clock" but it is getting late so I will have to save that for later.
