Firth and Quibell note:

"A length, evidently of 2 cubits, marked out by vertical lines in red on a wall of the South Princess' court gave 0m.524 as the cubit of the time, and this length divided into the main dimensions produced a long series of whole numbers with a very small margin of error. The numbers so obtained are most frequently multiples of 10 or 5. Seven times Mr. Lauer found lengths of 33 cubits and some centimetres, evidently a third of 100. This, he suggests, may have been the usual measuring cord at this period. A singular figure found no less than 5 times is 123, no doubt a lucky number."

Anyone got a book name and page number for this?

It was posted by John Wall a couple years back.
