That's correct. The positions can be simulated, and IIRC, they do match from the time of their construction.

Of course, that just means they mapped out some stars and stuck the buildings in the same relative positions.

How could they match? Star positions in the sky are dependent on Earth's orbit and wobble. Their height to and from the horizon changes from Earth's tilt and position across the sky from Earth's rotation. The only constant (ish) stars are like Polaris and Little Bear because they're at the celestial poles, so appear in the same spot. Orion appears to move all over the place relative to time of day and time of year.
