Oh, dude, ancient measurements are like trying to use a flip phone in a smartphone world. They're outdated, inconsistent, and just plain confusing. Imagine trying to build a house using cubits and furlongs - good luck with that! So yeah, the disadvantages are pretty much that they're as useful as a chocolate teapot in modern times.

There were many more than five. The ancient Romans used the millarium, akt, decimpeda, pace and cubit just to measure distance.
Architecture. Engineering. Navigation. Measurements for construction or other purposes. The Ancient Romans used it to fire catapults.
Exactly in the same way as we use geometry today for their constructions of pyramids and land measurements.
Parts of the body and statues were used as measurements for length. Weights were made out f stone, bronze, or pottery.
hand and feet and legs
Sensitive to Temperature Measurements • Not Perfectly Linear Internally non contact but externally has to be connected where the measurement has to be made Not feasible for very long range measurements

In ancient times, the body ruled when it came to measuring. The length of a foot, the width of a finger, and the distance of a step were all accepted measurements.
approximately 7 feet
The basis for a calendar.
According to archaelogical records, the Egyptians were the first to use measurements. They measured the depth of the Nile.
One advantage of the dumpy level is that it is extremely mobile. A disadvantage is the difficult in using and making accurate measurements.
Some disadvantages of gas thermometers include their bulkiness, fragility, and the potential for gas leaks. Gas thermometers also typically require regular calibration to ensure accurate temperature measurements.
Advantage : Using a meter stick helps us to make measurements straight and to get the accurate measurements. It can be used for measurement of greater objects. Disadvantage : Meter stick cannot properly read measurements of small distances and objects having dimension of 0.053 cm
