There are a handful of articles on Academia.edu which have been posted in recent times by pseudos and which have attracted other pseudos. A lot of these posters use outdated and discredited sources which claim that the ancient Egyptians used Greek or Roman feet, or even megalithic yards, to construct the pyramids. I have pointed out to these people that the Egyptians used cubits and palms, and that these are the only measures mentioned in the mathematical papyri, but my contributions have fallen on deaf ears.

In an attempt to track down the source of some of these misconceptions, I typed "did the ancient egyptians use feet and inches?" into DuckDuckGo and I came across this dodgy site on Egyptian Mensuration - [freepages.rootsweb.com] - which starts out with the following:

"The Cubit also called Covid, unit of linear measure used by many ancient peoples ..."

The Covid? I mean... what???

Hail Atlantis.
