The Origin and Antiquity of Our English Weights and Measures Discovered: By Their Near Agreement with Such Standards That Are Now Found in One of the Egyptian Pyramids is a book written by John Greaves and published in 1745. The book explores the history and origins of English weights and measures, arguing that they can be traced back to ancient Egyptian standards. Greaves draws on his own measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza, which he believed contained evidence of a sophisticated system of measurement used by the ancient Egyptians. The book includes detailed descriptions of various English weights and measures, as well as Greaves' analysis of their similarities to the Egyptian standards. It also includes illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts and measurements discussed. Overall, The Origin and Antiquity of Our English Weights and Measures Discovered is a fascinating exploration of the history of measurement and its ties to ancient civilizations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
