Richard, while these lances were extremely long, from looking at the available images I think (could be wrong) they were more in the range of 10 ft to 15 ft max. The Bedouin look to be around 5ft+, the lances look to be twice or at most three times the height of the Bedouin. Maybe someone here has seen one in person and can add some additional info about the length of the Bedouin lances/spears.
