You have "proven" no such thing! We have recovered cubit rods marked in digits that are NOT an inch. They have records of distances NOT expressed in miles!
IMHO you are rewriting all of AE's vast storehouse of records we do have to fit a pet theory.

By some, yes.
I have posted a theory on Ma'at the actual cubit varied from Pharaoh to Pharaoh based on his actual measurements. Look, the guy was looked at as a GOD; his actual divine part measurements therefore be worth of use?
Mine is the only explanation I have ever seen that explains why every recovered cubit differed from every other recovered cubit by a bit...

The current Egyptologist theory is that quality degraded, and they lost the ability to maintain repeatable specs... I don't buy this at all! Since we have actual examples, imagine how many examples they had. No, the measurements wandered for a REASON...

But that they secretly measured everything in inches, feet, and miles and left records of all the "other" measurement systems as a smoke screen because the mysteries and secrets had to be obscured by the Masonic Alien conspiracy?
