Okay there are a couple right off the bat that look promising so let's start with those.

3 x 686.98 from our chart above = 2060.94 now divided by 100 as is our want and we get 20.6094 or possibly the number of inches in a cubit although most would wager on 20.62 however there are many who would give the nod to 20.61 and others who would give the nod to 20.625. Let's continue.

Now I have to admit something has always bothered me. This was a melding of the inch and the ancient cubit and it had to fit nicely ... or so I reasoned so I always believed The Great Pyramid it had to be in the ratio of 440 cubits by 280 cubits but I also totally believed the inch was involved so how to rectify it all. Well if we accept the base unit measuring system as the number of Earth days in a Martian year ( I know a rather large pill to swallow in today's time) we find that it fits almsot precisely with the number of feet in the proper ratio but what of Ancient Egypt and The Master Builders what base were they using ?

To solve that we should if we accept 440 and 280 cubits as a correct and logical measurement we would simply divide the number of inches we have calculated which is 755.678 x 12 or 9068.136 inches and when we divide by 440 we arrive at (not surprisingly I suppose) 9068.136 / 440 = 20.6094 inches per cubit and exactly the same number we got when we multiplied 686.98 x 3 then divided by 10. So in this new Martian based system the leading candidate for the number of inches in a cubit is obviously 20.61 inches ... Very interesting but could there be more proof to find ? Well maybe ...

If we allow the base to equal 755.678 feet as in mandated by our new Martian Year base unit then what would a cubit equal in relation to a foot ? Well that is simple enough to figure out we would just divide 755.678 by 440 to get 1.71745 ... So a cubit in this number system is equal to 1.71745 feet ... Well can we find that number anywhere in our chart and sure enough we find that 25 times a Martian Year of 686.98 = 17174.5 or EXACTLY 10,000 TIMES OUR CUBIT TO FOOT RATIO !!!

Not sure about you but I wonder what else we might find at Giza using a cubit of 20.6094 inches.
