How far back is the Olden Days? Are we going as far back as The Flood? If you answered YES, then the unit measure in Noah’s days was the CUBIT. There is much disagreement of how long was a cubit, but mostly, it’s pegged at the length of Noah’s fingertip-elbow length.
Another length measure that you may like is the PALM. It should be obvious to you how long that is. A palm is as old as the cubit (everyone had a palm and an elbow!) In general, three palms equaled one cubit. Some Middle-Eastern countries still use the palm as a “guestimator” of length. The palm is a popular measure of length of horses and other animals.
