1 inch by convention or decree is now 2.54 cm
BUT this is a very recent change it used to be slightly less that 2.54 more like 2.53846579 or something like that.
Thus anyone finding inches and meters matching each other in The Ancient World is either struggling with his sanity or quite simply wrong.

Time travel will one day be a reality and thus we have our answer as to who built the pyramids.
