Before I begin, I am just curious what the outside world thinks. If not The Megalithic Yard, then what sort of measurement system did these people use ?
Here is an ancient stone circle in Israel. It dates to about at least 3000 BC. Here is what it says:
"... The Wheel of Giants consists of a 520-foot wide circle of basalt stones that encloses four smaller, concentric circles, of stacked stone walls. As you go closer to the centre, the circles are becoming progressively narrower in width. The walls of the circles are connected by randomly positioned vertical small stone walls, at the angle of 90 degrees in relation to the circles. T[h]e whole monument is made of a staggering 37,500 metric tons of stone that have been roughly carved. The walls are up to 6.6 feet high, and the outer walls are almost 8 feet high.... "

This is a perfect example of what I have been talking about. Why would you measure a 5000-year-old stone circle ... in feet ? It makes absolutely no sense. How could that ever hope to tell you anything. Well I did what any serious "archaeologist" should have done and tried a few of the ancient measure to see if they yielded anything significant. I decided to start with my megalithic yard, and it yielded a treasure troveā¦
The circle is said to be 520 feet wide. But that is meaningless. How many ... Megalithic Yards, is it ?
Well, 520 feet = 520 x 12 = 6240 inches. There are 32.648388556 inches in my Megalithic yard, and thus we have 6240 / 32.648388 = 191.1274 as a diameter. I looked at this number and said to myself, what an odd number, then it clicked. For once the circumference is calculated it all becomes clear ... 191.4336 x Pi is 600.44, and it becomes obvious that the circumference was designed as 600 Megalithic yards. Thus, diameter is 600 / Pi = 190.986 and times 32.648388 = 6235.383 /12 = 519.615
But what of the other circles ? Well the article didn't say, so I scaled them and here is what they told me ...
Second from the outside 450
third = 200
4th = 183.33
5th = 100 (or 1/6th)

Does anyone care to bet that this quote: "The walls of the circles are connected by randomly positioned vertical small stone walls" is going to turn out tho be wrong too.
And 277.777777777777 / 1.58333333333 (19 / 12 ) = 439.814 almost the Giza Pi base. So thus we can almost call the ratio of the cubit to the megalithic yard as 20.62 x 1.583333 = 32.648333 or
19 cubits = 12 megalithic yards OR 12 megalithic yards = 19 cubits and accordingly the circumferences of these circles in cubits are 950, 712.5, 316.667, 290.2778 and lastly
100 /12 x 19 = 158.3333
How can they call themselves archaeologists ?
When are they ever going to learn to get it right ?
Seems pretty simple to me.
