You've missed a few things:
1. Coincidence.
2. Coordinates are not specified as just northings. What is the easting value equal to?
3. Assuming your quoted speed is in SI units there is no unit M or S that makes any sense in this context. Perhaps you meant m/s ?
4. Ancient egyptians didn't measure length in metres or time in seconds.
5. Ancient egyptians didn't measure angles in degrees and had no decimal notation.
6. Coincidence
Other than those, and your ignorance of coincidence and confirmation bias, nice try.
No its not coincidence. Understand Sumerian number systems and you will understand why.

while the giza pyramids are 100% man-made, something attracted people to that place

3rd page and nobody has hit on the raddest thing about the Great Pyramid???
It actually has 8 sides and each can only be seen from above it...
But slaves built it and not proud craftsmen...
Either way,
Stay Hydrated...

It doesn't matter if the knew the meter or not. You can convert any unit of measurement for length upon any other unit of measurement of length if you know them both.

Yeh but the meter is a ten millionth of the distance between the north pole and the Equator, through Paris , which makes life a lot easier to do calculations in your head. What are the odds this position is just a lucky flook . Mabey as anywhere on that line of longitude would still read the speed of light.

I get it.
Maybe there's another unit of measurement with a symmetrical number that matches in the same way.
I don't know. And frankly, I don't care much for it. But it is fun to ponder on whether or not a civilization in the past was intuitive, smart and resourceful enough to use the unit we call meter to measure.
I don't know the english word for it but it is kind of "built in" in an easy mathematical way in our earth and matter itself for that matter.
Not to say it's easy to measure atom's. But who knows. I wasn't there.
To add:
If you take pi-phi^2 you get 0.523554668..... and that is roughly one of the accepted Royal Egyptian cubit in cm: 52.3.
Then imagine that a one unit of phi equals a clockwise rotation and in the second power produces another one a counter-clockwise to it. Now place that to a magnetic field. And whatever the constant of Pi stands for makes for I don't know.
But this is just something that popped in my mind one time. And to further this. This is awfully close to the accepted number for the note C in the fifth octave in standard tuning.

What does the word 'pyramid' mean?
The word 'pyramid' actually comes from the Greek word 'pyramis' which means 'wheat cake'. The word 'pyramis' was used to describe the ancient Egyptian buildings because they reminded the Greeks of pointy-topped wheat cakes.
The ancient Egyptian word for the pyramids was 'Mer'.
