Talk:Persian units of measurement

This article is incomplete and in need of editing
The System of measurement mentioned in this article is very specific to that used by the Achaemenid dynasty from over 2.5 millenia ago. Iran/Persia's systems of measurements after this dynasty through the early Pahlavi era are not mentioned in this article, which they should be because the title implies All systems of measurements used in the Iranian plateau from ancient times through the early 20th century. Could someone please write up the missing information if they have access to the relevant reference literature? Also, some of the information here is unsourced.--Mehrshad123 (talk) 22:38, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

League - what a horse can walk in one hour?
The length of one Parasang is obscure, but it is more or less around the 5 km (more or less). Yet, this resembles more the human speed, and I would assume it's not at all the speed of a horse, even a walking one. Toraumada (talk) 08:34, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
