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.

Rod

A rod is a traditional unit of length used in land measurement and surveying. It is equal to 16.5 feet, 5.5 yards, or exactly 5.0292 meters.

Also known as a pole or perch, the rod dates back to medieval England and was commonly used for measuring land and agricultural plots. It is closely related to other units such as the chain (which is 4 rods) and the furlong (which is 40 rods).

Key conversions:

1 rod = 16.5 feet
1 rod = 5.5 yards
1 rod = 5.0292 meters
4 rods = 1 chain
40 rods = 1 furlong

Though largely replaced by metric units today, the rod is still occasionally used in surveying and legal descriptions of land, especially in the United States and the UK.
