The cubit was originally a Sumerian measure which was adopted by many of the surrounding cultures. It is the most widespread unit of measure from the ancient world. Ancient cubits were typically classified into two groups—long and short. The short cubit was used for commercial purposes while the longer length was incorporated in building and architecture.
In Egypt, both a common (short) cubit and a longer Royal or Sacred cubit emerged. The common Egyptian cubit was the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger (about 18 inches). This common cubit is also found throughout Biblical literature. It was divided into the span of the hand (one-half cubit), the palm or width of the hand (one sixth), and the digit or width of a finger (one twenty-fourth). The Egyptian Royal or Sacred cubit was longer.
The Egyptian Royal (Sacred) cubit has survived in both wood and stone, as well as in the meticulous dimensions of Egyptian architecture. Preserved in the Cubit Rod of Maya from the time of Tutankhamen, the Royal or Sacred cubit is identified as 20.6 inches. There are 28 ‘digits’ on this 523mm rod, with lines at every fourth digit representing the palm. The earliest Egyptian monuments used this same cubit length which shows the Royal Egyptian Cubit remained accurate for thousands of years.
Undoubtedly, the most important reference for the royal cubit length is the King’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid. It is the most accurately wrought, the best preserved, and the most exactly measured of all the data that are known. The cubit in the Great Pyramid is 523mm (20.62 inches).
According to astrophysicist Hans Becker who did some work with Slim Spurling, the resonant frequency of the Royal/Sacred cubit Tensor Ring is 144 megaHz—a harmonic of the speed of light. It is considered by some to be an antenna for cosmic frequencies.
Lost Cubit
Lost Cubit was identified in 2000 by Hans Becker. According to Becker, the Lost Cubit is a previously unrecognized cubit length that may have been deliberately omitted from ancient records due to its powerful significance. It resonates at 177,000 Hz. Due to its dual ability to resonate with cosmic energy frequencies and earth energy frequencies, the Lost Cubit is considered by some to have properties that may affect DNA and longevity.
Earth Resonance cubit
In 2015, the authors of the book, Dancing with Water, identified a measurement of 19.65 inches with a resonance they refer to as the “Earth Core” resonance. Tensor Rings and triskelions made using this measurement are tuned to the Earth’s central core and to the Earth’s natural energy field. They support water’s connection (and anything placed in their energetic field ) to the core energy of the Earth. This cubit length is extremely grounding and protective for water. Thus, the length of the wire in the Tensor Rings and triskelions sold and used by Dancing with Water is 19.65 inches—or a harmonic of that length.
Other cubit lengths
There are a number of “cubit lengths” that have been identified and used to make Tensor Rings. The key to identifying other useful measures is that the resulting Rings resonate in harmony with the Earth and the natural world—they follow golden ratio harmonics. When Rings fall outside this parameter they can interfere with the healthy, natural frequencies that support life.
