In ancient times, people measured distances and quantities using body parts, such as the cubit (length of the forearm) and foot, as well as objects like grains, stones, or rods. Civilizations like the Egyptians and Mesopotamians developed standardized measurements for trade and construction, using tools like the measuring stick or rope with marked intervals. The use of these units varied by region and culture, but they laid the foundation for more systematic measurement systems in later periods.
