Byrd,
The points you've brought up are accurate in the process of analysis, because of course most if not all major discoveries begin as a guess, this is important to realize but their are required steps involved to develop a proof... It begins with observation and from there the ability to find a pattern from the observations, but this is not enough, it needs to be true in all cases (a generalization)... these three aspects are more or less the primary elements of induction. Confirmation arrives when related artifacts are presented to support the guess. Here we can look at hrst1's theory and discover if it's even possible.
The Tropic of Cancer is an >>imaginary<< circle parallel and north of the earths equator, and it moves north and south over long periods time depending on the earth declination at the summer solstice, but it should be said that even the earths equator is not in a fixed location. hrst1's theory uses the drift of the earth's declination (tilt) towards the sun to determine the length of a royal cubit.
Aside from the lack of any artifact to support the Egyptians were aware of this observational phenomena, there's only one day each year that can be used to isolate or identify where the imaginary Tropic of Cancer exists relative to the earths unfixed equator; the summer solstice. Yet, hrst1 hasn't provided any direct evidence the Egyptians recognized the summer solstice. And, even more importantly we should expect to observe multiple holes (wells) dug over time to accommodate the suggested method of observation. However, because of the length of 3000+ years, if the Egyptians had managed to accomplish a rudiment method of this type of observation we should expect to see the Royal Cubit length elongate and shrink at least 3 times from a fixed point in the northern hemisphere, which would be required to observe the movement of the Tropic of Cancer over time.
In my opinion hrst1 has failed to develop anything beyond his guess that proves the Egyptians calibrated the Royal Cubit length using the drift or movement of the Tropic of Cancer, this is in no way is meant to belittle his effort, it's only to point out he hasn't developed a constructive solution that supports his claim.
