To all those who would scoff at my measurement of The Royal Cubit I ask that you read this and then offer an alternative reason for the Royal Cubit being 20.62 or whatever inches as opposed to the regular cubit of 18 inches.
Well ...
(Pi / 6) x 5 = Phi squared [ almost
]
3.14159265 / 6 = 0.5236 x 5 = 2.618
AND ..........
[(Pi / 6 ) x 1000 = 523.6 or the number of millimeters in a cubit.
Hmmm .....
AND ....
An ordinary cubit (18 inches) + Phi squared (2.618034) equals The Royal Cubit.
Yes I think I like that solution.
Anyone got a better solution to why a Royal Cubit is what it is ?
cheers
