willian da silva Barros He was tall by that times standard.
Hitler - "The perfect human race should be over 6 feet tall and have blonde hair like the Nazis"
Also Hitler - Is 5 foot 9 and has dark hair.
He was technically 5'8 but he was listed as 5'11 lol

He died a virgin what a shame
you forgot, possible on purpose accidental photographer (shroud of Turin maybe?...) orator, teacher, alchemist, caricaturist, rebel, agnostic or atheist, storyteller, marine biologist, aeronautic scientist, submarine survivalist (theorist probably) historian, collector, and general glamour girl! (everyone found him handsome!! and he was most likaly LBGTQ) and that your lot eh I hope!
@Ettore Tornato being in the slums and gay wasn't a problem in those days plenty of guys to find paying money in a hidden place.

He was about 5ft. specifically, average height for a Greek man at this time. When Alexander met the Indian king Porus, he was struck by the man's height of 7 feet, and Alexander's biographer thought the tall man would look as fitting on an elephant as a Greek man looked on a horse.

Where did they get that info anyway?
Why isn’t Yuri Gagarin, the first human being in space, on this list?
He was only 5’2”, yet despite his diminutive stature, his flight changed the course of our history forever, even though he lived relatively recently compared to these other figures.

where are your sources? the tomb of Alexander is still unknown today.
Most likely old writings like epics and fables. From how great he was, I'm sure there are many writings which acknowledge the fact that he conquered the greatest empire at the time while standing at 5'.

@@billcosby1134 There is no mention of him being 5 feet tall, his father was close to 6 feet tall, unless his mother was a midget, i doubt Alexander was 5 feet tall.

Gautam Budha!

No u can't here that as it clearly didn't sounnd like that anyways..yes buddha was great man.he was tall i should say that no offense
Buddha is a title his name was 'Siddhartha Gautama' he was also known as 'Gautama Buddha' after the title.
Julius Caesar was seen as very tall in his time; most likely 5’11
surprisingly enough, in roman feet, he was a 6'1 [5'11] and that was impressive for their time.
Beatorama very impressive considering the average height was most likely around 5’7
Wiki says he had 1.76 cm not 1.70
5'11 isnt tall
let me guess, mason, that's how tall you are? lol
Beethoven had Paget's disease of the bone which gave him a heavy jawline, long arms, large hands and short legs. If it was not for that, he would have been much taller.
It amused me when some of these men, at the beginning, achieved so much, Bruce Lee appeared.
Heavy jawline? Like a square jaw? I thought square jawlines didn’t exist back then lol 😂
Hey, Napoleon actually avarage height for the time! **crying**
Hitler looks like a misbehaving schoolboy next to me, but Lincoln and Peter are quite impressive.
Oliver Ludwig Lincoln was a big boy
"Misbehaving schoolboy" hahahahaa
In fact and in real life, there are millions of fans and followers would of kneel down in front of them for their statues and achievments, or simply for the fear of them. Haha.
How accurate is Buddhas size? I assume, considering time, he's actually the most impressive. He must have been a giant in his era.
well, he is a giant in every era ..
Buddha was purest of ishvaku kshatriya ( warrior clan) and was very handsome man. Buddhist and jain texts estimates and modern indologists say he was 6'2 .
Actually the current Buddha is the shortest of all 5 Buddhas in this world
The thing is ancient Hindus were non vegetarians, combined with the fact that the tropical climate supports longer limbs, resulted in indians being the tallest civilization in asia, although not as muscular as the romans, reported by greeks.
Alexander's final nemesis, porus, is said to be 7 feet tall(6 ft avg indian) by roman historians themselves.
It was after adopting vegetarianism that the civilization grew short. A Similar trend is in Europe, where after discovering agriculture, the average height went from 6 feet to 5'4"
@profit mah mad was a pdf file you just wrote is was the average height in the sub-continent. When the community is non vegetarian than the average height is more
What I've experienced in my life is that everyone lies about their height; Im 1,78 m, and tower over those who believed to be 1,85 m, it always made me laugh, Im not even that tall.
Dude ikr
Same, it's quite funny
Actually true. 1.78m isn't even average, as what most people purport it to be.
There are 5'9 dudes who actually believe that their 6'1?????🤔🤔😅
Yeah I'm one of the tallest among my friends and when I say I'm 1.80 they go"impossible I am 1.85" even if they are visibly shorter than me ahahahhaha
Very interesting! I`m a little it surprised that Alexander the Great was such a short man. Anyway, there is no parallel between greatness and height. But how can you figure heights of ancient people who passed away a long time ago?
this is fake

You can research if you want
Th Greeks used to measure 1feet= 13 inch . That means 5'0" then means today's 5'6".

I meant, they were royals with whom the historical writers, whose works you cited, wouldn't even dare to look straight on them thus making their figures for height was prone to erroneous estimation.

Probably help to give some context on average heights of people in at different times in different cultures. In general, people have become taller due to better nutrition.
