  • Cubits - Old Measuring Units
    The cubit is one of the oldest units of measure, employed as early as the Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations. Derived from the Latin word cubitus, this measure pertains to the lower arm, or to be more precise, the distance between the elbow and the tip of the outstretched middle finger. The exact measurement varies, though, since different types of cubits were used in Ancient Greece and Rome and throughout the Middle Ages up to the Early Modern Period.
