They didn't have "meters" in the olden days, but they did have balance scales back in antiquity. Time was measured by the sun's position in the sky and distance was measured by comparing thing to your own body.

A foot was the length of your foot, an inch was the width of your thumb, and a cubit was the distance from your elbow to the end of your longest finger.

And you counted by twelves, not tens.
