Long Cubit

The long cubit is an ancient unit of length that is a variation of the standard cubit, measuring from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. The long cubit is longer than the common cubit, typically about 21 inches (approximately 53 centimeters).

It was used in ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Mesopotamia for construction, land measurement, and crafts, especially when more precision or a larger unit was needed.

Key points:

Long cubit ≈ 21 inches (53 cm)
Longer than the standard cubit (usually about 18 inches)
Used in ancient architecture and surveying
Provided a larger base unit for measurements in construction

The long cubit helped ancient builders and surveyors manage larger scales while still relying on the human body as a reference.
