"Apparently it WASN'T a coincidence! He was well into that malarkey, although it's also the same diameter (or length, at least) as the Temple of Soloman (as mentioned in the Bible - '3 score cubits'), which, I think, is where it all tied up."

Stukeley, who was also well into that malarkey, reported that the top of Silbury was 60 cubits....

The problem with cubits is that they vary enormously , Stukeley's druid's cubit = 20.8 inches but you can add or subtract as much as 5 inches for other cubits .
