Hi DavidK,
You wrote: 760.32 imperial feet is 9123.84 imperial inches. Please note this point is being made in imperial inches.
What does Petrie give for the south side socket base?
9123.90 imperial inches and as much as I would like it to be since it reconciles to 24883.20 miles per Michell you are not using Petrie's figure Jacob, you have inserted your own.

Who wants to quibble over 6/100 of an inch at the end of 9123 21/25 inch span. If so please be my guest if you consider Petrie's measures to be the absolutely correct and those intended by the Ancient Egyptians.
The mean Sarcophagus length in G2 multiplied 88 times is equal to the length of 9123 21/25 or exactly 440 of the cubits as defined by the Sarcophagus length in G2 of (20.736 inches) 2592/125 x 5 = 2592/25 or 103.68 inches.
Just for fun, 24883 1/5 x 5280 = 131383296 feet and 131383296 ft / 760 8/25 ft = 172800 G1 South Side Socket Bases in Earth Mean Circumference. It doesn't matter if you calculate in cubits, meters, feet or inches there are exactly 12^3 x 100 South Side Socket Bases in Earth Mean Circumference. 131383296 x 12 = 1576599552 inches Earth Mean Circumference.
1576599552 / 43200 = 36495.36 and 36495.36 / 4 = 9123 21/25 inches.
1576599552 inches / 2592/125 = 76032000 G2 cubits in the Earth Mean Circumference. 12096000 G2 cubits in the Earth Mean Radius.
Here is hint, are you familiar with the Yugas?
Satya Yuga (also called Krita Yuga)
This first age is 1,728,000 human years. Also known as the Golden Age or age of Truth. The qualities of this age are: virtue reigns supreme; human stature is 21 cubits; lifespan is a lakh of years, and death occurs only when willed.
Treta Yuga
This second age is 1,296,000 human years. Also known as the Silver Age. The qualities of this age are: the climate is three quarters virtue and one quarter sin; human stature is 14 cubits; lifespan is 10,000 years.
Dvapara Yuga
This third age is 864,000 human years. Also known as the Bronze Age. The qualities of this age are: the climate is one half virtue and one half sin; lifespan is 1,000 years.
Kali Yuga
The fourth and last age is 432,000 human years. Also known as the Iron Age. This is the age in which we are presently living. The qualities of this age are: the climate is one quarter virtue and three quarters sin; human stature is 3.5 cubits; lifespan is 100 or 120 years.
One Grand Yuga is a total of adding all the above yugas and equals 4,320,000 years.
LOL, I always consider your challenges fun. As far as the rest of what you wrote, to be perfectly honest, I am really not interested.
