About this conversion
Ancient Egypt measured with the royal cubit (about 0.523m, 7 palms or 28 digits), the palm (about 0.075m) and the digit (about 0.0186m). One hundred cubits made a khet (about 52.3m), used for field measurement.
These values come from surviving cubit rods in the Louvre and Turin, measured by archaeologists, so they are scholarly averages, not mythic estimates.
