You forgot to multiply by Pi x sq. root 2/phi minus the orbital period of Uranus.

>>which may explain why a 52.4 cm cubit is somewhat longer than the average male forearm - it was an idealised 'divine' cubit.
If the measure of the royal cubit did not derive from the length of the forearm, and barring some 'idealised' cubit, since that could have measured any length one chooses to idealise it to, then:
Why did the AE choose this particular 52.x

If people could comment on the origin of the royal cubit and such instead of getting into some ideological arguments about Pharaoh's tombs, etc...
The small Pyramids from the early 5th Dynasty onward were, from all evidence and from the Pyramid Texts, built as tombs of the respective Kings of Egypt as relevant to these Kings' association to the death and resurrection of Osiris.

Ahatmose, in all his excitement, has somewhat misconstrued what I wrote.
The figures for the latitudinal decrease to the position of the Tropic of Cancer during the early Dynastic era are given as 1/10,000th part of latitudinal degree per year (36.3688 feet at the latitude of Giza) with occasional years of latitudinal stability: in 2551 BC during the construction of the Khufu, subsequently 27
