Measuring with Body Parts

Long before rulers, people measured with body parts. Cubit: from elbow to fingertip (used in ancient Egypt). Handspan: thumb to little finger spread. Foot: length of foot (still used in countries using inches/feet). The problem: everyone's foot is a different size! Two children measuring the same table get different answers. We need a standard unit everyone agrees on.
