Jacob,

Without going into great detail, I first postulated that linear measurement is the product of observation and that the same was true for measuring time, the difference between the two is that one is physical and the other theoretical. In this context combined with the prudent concept of Maat, finding a harmonic that combined time and linear measurement was easy; a shadow. The physics of light and shadow provide any observer the passage of time, compound that with linear measurement and you have the earliest clock known to the Egyptians, the shadow clock (not a sun dial). Though the shadow clocks we have, the earliest being from the Middle Kingdom, are unable to prove a royal cubit time measurement, my research reveals they are predicated on that original principal that provided a standardized royal cubit length. Thus, a shadow is a god given artifact and not entirely man made. I strongly suspect, as I am currently working on the model, that the megalithic yard is born of the same mechanism, one clue is that 55 yards equals 96 royal cubits (@20.625" per cubit), the relative between them being the earths axis spin and orbit. The trick however is determining whether the shadow is created by the sun or a full moon on a clear night.

That's about as much as I can state without compromise to my work, its a cool theory that works remarkably well.
