I am still very curious why ancient man had a preoccupation with precession and calculating ages.

I am curious why some modern humans continue to subscribe to numerology nonsense as if it means anything. robomatic had it right. This is the same kind of nonsense that made the rounds re: Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations (Lincoln was shot in a theater, his shooter was captured in a warehouse; Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his shooter hid in a theater . . . ) Coincidence is something humans notice because we function by recognizing patterns. But not all patterns mean anything. To use the number 432,000 and choose events where it is applied is pretty much random since there are many more occurrences of 432,000 that you chose to ignore because they DON'T fit the pattern.
