Long Cubit
The long cubit is an ancient unit of length that is a variation of the standard cubit, measuring from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. The long cubit is longer than the common cubit, typically about 21 inches (approximately 53 centimeters).
It was used in ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Mesopotamia for construction, land measurement, and crafts, especially when more precision or a larger unit was needed.
Key points:

Used in ancient architecture and surveying
Provided a larger base unit for measurements in construction
The long cubit helped ancient builders and surveyors manage larger scales while still relying on the human body as a reference.
Nautical League
A nautical league is a unit of distance once used at sea, mainly by sailors and navigators. It equals 3 nautical miles, which is about 5.56 kilometers or 3.45 miles. Nautical leagues were used to measure longer distances during voyages before modern navigation tools became common. While the nautical mile is still widely used today in maritime and aviation navigation, the nautical league is mostly obsolete and rarely used.
