>>Multiples of 7, 9 and 11 cubits occur frequently in the design of the Great pyramid.<<

“Lets see a cubit...I used to know what a cubit was
Well don’t worry about that Noah
When you get that done
Go out into the world and
Collect all of the animals in the world by twos
Male and female, and put them into the ark”

“RIGHT!...
Who is this really?”

Per Peter Thompkins, the mensuration for the Great Pyramid was the Royal Cubit. The Royal cubit is slightly longer then the ordinary cubit.

From Wiki....

The earliest attested standard measure is from the Old Kingdom pyramids of Egypt and was called the royal cubit (mahe). The royal cubit was 523 to 525 mm (20.6 to 20.64 inches) in length,[3] and was subdivided into 7 palms of 4 digits (4 fingers) each, for a 28-part measure in total. Secure evidence for the royal cubit unit is known from Old Kingdom architecture, from at least as early as the construction of the Step Pyramid of Djoser from around 2,700 B.C.[4]
