Don,
I usually like your work. Not this time.

-- Interesting numerology.
Note: It would seem Mercury has the same gravity as Mars (38% of Earth).

-- I imagine this proves that the gravity on the sun is 28x that on earth; like a cubit is 28 digits.

I'm not aware that the particular numbers 261.0334 correspond with anything egyptian, or any egyptian measurement. It is kind of neat that you've found a 28:1 common astronomical relationship. Not that it has been proven that the egyptians were aware of this particular gravity relationship, or that a methodology on how the egyptians could figure out "gravity speed on the sun" has been proposed.

"the gravity of the Sun at the surface is 28 times the gravity of the Earth."

What is the size of gravity on each of the planets?

Additionally, the topic is entitled "The Cubit Re-visited", and it would appear with the digit reading of 100.00, that you have not proposed any new value for the cubit, but rather just confirmed the existing measurement, by using a neat astronomical coincidence.
