... Newton’s calculations show it is very likely that the Hebrew sacred cubit was 25” . This would agree with Petrie statements as to the Semitic origins of the 25” cubit in ancient Egypt. This 25” cubit is inferred in the Egyptian record (shown in the table above) by the division of their cubit into 25 diametric units. This division into 25 diametric units likely facilitated the conversion of the cubit between the Egyptian and Semitic units of measure.
The use of a 25” cubit as evidenced by the 12.5” (half cubit) foot in Babylon, Europe, and the British Isles could well be explained by the Semitic migration from Mesopotamia and Egypt. ...
Major problem is this is all based on information that has been gathered FROM THE XVIII (18TH) DYNASTY and thus is not directly related to the actual building of The Great Pyramid. From my reading Newton based his research of Greaves' work which had The Great Pyramid at ... 693 feet.
And I am in the camp of truth ...
