The 23,000 - year and 41,000 - year cycles are driven ultimately by two components of Earth's orbital geometry:
the equinoctial precession cycle (23,000 years) and the axial - tilt cycle (41,000 years).
Atmospheric dynamics, solar
cycles, Milankovic factors respecting Earth's axial tilt, orbital eccentricity,
equinoctial precession etc. remain constant in historical context and perspective.
