A parasang is a unit of distance that was used in ancient Persia and other regions, typically representing about 3.5 to 4 kilometers (approximately 2.2 to 2.5 miles). The term is thought to have originated from the Old Persian word "parasang," which was used in the context of measurement for travels and distances, particularly for horse and foot travel.
