The International Standard was published bimonthly at Cleveland, Ohio, from 1883 by the International Institute for Preserving and Perfecting Weights and Measures, and its masthead announced a magazine devoted to the wisdom contained in the Great Pyramid of Gizeh. The two purposes belong together. Pyramidologists of this school held that the Great Pyramid was built under divine direction and encoded a system of measure — a sacred cubit, and an inch of which the British and American inch was the surviving remnant — so that to adopt the metric system, then gaining ground internationally, would be to abandon a divinely sanctioned standard for a French revolutionary invention. The magazine argues that case with chronological tables aligning the Book of Exodus with the Egyptian dynasties, with measurements of the pyramid's passages and chambers, and with the confidence of a movement expecting the kingdom of Christ. It is an organised campaign rather than a spiritual fellowship, and it belongs to the history of alternative science and of nineteenth-century sacred metrology.
