Why? What makes you think that the Gods Wall was an astronomical document? TO me it looks like a polite work of fiction, really. It may well depict a scene from a glorious past (myth) which a later divine ruler ordered done.

As it "should" be...
Really, we have no definite mythistorical connection of the Gods Wall's origin, let alone an exact date. Using Entekosiad as Dating source (assuming some linearity in the events) we could place it to during or anytime after the Second Error, with Brightface in a position of power. It may well have originated after the Emperor of Raibanth had been slain by the terminal rebel, in order to admonish the survivors to live as perfect a life as possible.
The Lodril Hero with the Adamant Chisel still would be required, plus the Prometheus-like figure to nick a slab of Truestone from the Spike (aka Yuthubars?).
