Pyramids and their Purpose II. The Pyramid of Khufu (The Great Pyramid)
View through CrossRef
As measurements play a certain art in this
article it is as well, before dealing with the
pyramid of Khufu, to consider the ancient Egyptian
measures.
Different values of the cubit or ell
(referred to as E), are found in different sites,
and in different structures of the same site and
period ; but it seems quite certain that the
Pyramid Age ell had a value between 20.58 and 20.6
in. In later times the variation is much wider.
Opinions differ on the division of the ell, since
there was also a ‘ short ell ’ of 6 palms or hands
(referred to as H), whereas the normal ell was
divided into 7 hands.
