If I'm not mistaken, the unit of measurement was based on the "pyramid inch".

At what point did the Ancient Egyptians start using the Meter as a form of measurement?

Watch 30 secs starting from this part. A lesser known connection tho can also be found between the royal cubit and the meter. Convert 6 cubits here and see the startling result. www.onlineunitconversion.com...
It's not the only common measurement.
I could go on mentioning things not found in that documentary like how the length of each side of the Great Pyramid’s base is 365.2422 pyramid cubits (our astronomical year is 365.2422 solar days). Or that the perimeter of its base is 36524.22 pyramid inches, which is the length of 100 years expressed in days.

Yeah, I'm referring the basic unit of measurement that they used which was the pyramid inch. By using this as a measurement the great pyramid of Giza has a base length of 365. According to wikipedia it is accepted to be 1/25 of one of Isaac Newton's "sacred cubits".

...60 minutes in a degree, 60 seconds in a minute, etc. and the geographic coordinate system we use today also uses this same system.
So with the time (second), speed of light (a universal constant), and grid (Earth) all being the same, if someone calculated the speed of a light second and corresponded its value onto the Earth's grid then it would be the same geographical location regardless. E.g. their value for light traveling in a second was 572,561,414 cubits...but that's equal to the speed of light in meters and both would have identical placement on the same grid after conversion.
But this is if the sexagesimal system, derived from the Sumerians and applied to measurements since 3k BC, applied to units of time also. No records of it being used for time exist, however, only 1% of the Sumerian tablets found are literary works and there's only few translators. The odds of them, an extremely advanced civ we know only a fraction about, dividing time by using a system that they used already is very probable, at least far more probable than everything being coincidental.

...despite the above, and its position on Earth equating to the speed of light was a coincidence.

I am a builder, I have done framing, cabinet building, trim, hardwood floors, among other things. What we build today with modern tools, don't compare to the accuracy that the primitives that built the ancient structures built. Makes me think we don't know as much as we think we do.
