I have relatives in Yorkshire. As I recall we all went there for a day out while we were visiting them. I don't get up that way so much nowadays.

a bit of useless info about a royal cubit

There is evidence that the measurement unit known as the Royal Cubit was already in use as much as one hundred years prior to the building of the Great Pyramid, and perhaps even somewhat earlier.
It was the standard length that was used to measure building dimensions, land holdings, grain quantites, etc., throughout Egyptian antiquity. It would appear, then, that the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt precipitated not only a standardization of the length of the year to 365 days, but also the standardization of the foremost Egyptian unit of measurement.

Had enough?
I know naff all about cubits, my head is hurting reading about them, infact I have forgot why I am talking about them in the first place.
