## How it works

Each ancient unit converts through a fixed classical approximation, e.g. 1 cubit = 1.543031 classical feet; conversions chain through the base unit.

## Worked example

1 cubit equals about 1.543 classical feet; ancient measures varied by civilization, so results are approximations.
