But someone used the meter originally as base unit, and the second.

It's oneway encrypted until the observer develops enough mathematical or geometric knowledge to see it.

The deduction of the royal cubit from the meter is also shown on [www.willemwitteveen.com] in a slightly different way, but it is the same mathematic-geometric connection: royal cubit in meter := pi/6 = radiant of a 30° angle = length of a 30° arc on the 1m unit circle.

The 1m and 1s base units are visible also in other things: [en.wikipedia.org] That's a pendulum of 99.36cm length and swings from side to side in 1 second on Earth.
