Perihelion Measures A talent is 1 cubic foot.
A perihelion foot is 11.8188339 inches, which can be divided into 16 parts.
1 litre = (10 cm)3 = 1000 cubic centimetres = 0.001 cubic metres.
On January 4, 2012, the earth was 147097206.791 km from the sun. (147 097 206.791 kilometers) / 1 billion = 147.097207 meters.
(147 097 206.791 kilometers) / (300.198381 millimeters) = 4.9 × 10^11.
(147.097207 meters) / 280 = 525.347168 millimeters.
(525.347167 * 16) / 28 = 300.198381 mm.
(11.8188339^3) (cubic inches) = 27.0535983 liters.
11.8188339 inches = 300.198381 millimeters.
27.0535983 liters = 27.0535983 kilograms of water.
At 60 mina to 1 talent = 27.0535983 / 60 = 0.450893305 kg = 450.893305 grams. (450.893305 / 500) * 2 640 = 2380.71665 carob.
At 100 mina to 1 talent = (27.0535983/100) kilogram = 270.535983 grams. (270.535983 / 500) * 2 640 = 1428.42999 carob.
At 80 mina to 1 talent = (27.0535983/80) kilogram = 338.169979 grams. (338.169979 / 500) * 2 640 = 1785.53749 carob. Currency of Ancient Greece The basic unit of Athenian currency was the obol :
An obol, Attica, Athens. After 449 BC

Ancient Egyptian units of measure include units for length, area and volume.
Weight Weights are often associated with currency since units of currency involve prescribed amounts of a given metal. Thus for example the English pound has been both a unit of weight and a unit of currency. Greek weights similarly bear a nominal resemblance to Greek currency yet the origin of the Greek standards of weights is often disputed.[1] Euboea and that was subsequently introduced to Attica by Solon , and also a standard that originated in Aegina . The Attic/Euboean standard was supposedly based on the barley corn, of which there were supposedly twelve to one obol . However, weights that have been retrieved by historians and archeologists show considerable variations from theoretical standards. A table of standards derived from theory is as follows:[1]

Length Units of length date back to at least the
Palermo stone for instance the level of the
Nile river is recorded. During the reign of
Pharaoh Djer the height of the river Nile was given as measuring 6 cubits and 1 palm. This is equivalent to approximately 320 cm (roughly 10 feet 6 inches).
A
. A curve is divided into five sections and the height of the curve is given in cubits, palms and fingers in each of the sections.
Lengths could be measured by
. These cubits are ca 52,5 cm long and are divided into seven palms, each palm is divided into four fingers and the fingers are further subdivided.
