About this calculator

The cubit is one of the oldest units of length, based on the distance from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, and its exact value varied by civilization: the common (short) cubit was about 45.7 cm (18 inches), while the Egyptian royal cubit, used to build the pyramids and measured on cubit-rods, was standardized at about 52.4 cm — a difference significant enough that Biblical and ancient-history measurements (like the dimensions of Noah's Ark or Solomon's Temple) are given as ranges depending on which cubit is assumed.

Historians, archaeologists, and biblical scholars convert cubits to centimetres to translate ancient architectural and textual measurements into a scale modern readers can actually visualize, since no cubit has been a live working unit for well over a thousand years.
