The Great Pyramid contains within it a coffer which records certain measurements of great importance, but these measurements might all have been recorded on papyrus and handed down, pro- vided the one standard of measurement, the length of the cubit, is preserved intact. This is to be obtained from the outside of the Pyramid, and fortunately, thanks to the measurements of many investigators, but particularly to the rigidly accurate measure- ment of Professor Flinders Petric, it is now obtained ...accui'ately in terms of measurement referred to our national standard. THE ANCIENT STANDAllDS OF MEASURE IN THE EAST. 219 This length of the cubit regulates everything connected with weights and measures, and even the vv'eight of the gold, silver, and copper coinage. It was a grand idea to record on the Great Pyramid this length of the cubit in such a way that it was- diificult to destroy it, as the tendency certainly is for the cubit, . With all the weights and measures and coinage, to depreciate as yeai's roll by, and it seems probable that the very slight discrepancy in the cubit in Egypt during many centuries is due to the existence of this record.
