A bit of fuel for the fire, here is the Sumerian King List.  Pay close attention to their longevity.

Wikipedia: Sumerian_King_List

As I recall, the Kings List works out to a Creation date something like 24o,000 B.C.

I have also read a cubit is 24 inches. I don't know which is right not sure anyone does.

Depending on where and when, the length of a cubit often changed with the crowning of a new king:  the new king's arm measure determined the length of the cubit for his reign!

Just imagine trying to keep standardized weights and measures.....

6'6" was impressively tall back then; I read that the typical Israelite barely reached 5'.

A healthy warrior at the time of Joshua would have been about 5' 2", several inches taller than an ordinary 'peasant'.
