There were no 6' people back then. The average height of humans has been increasing over the years. We used to be much shorter.

Did you not watch the movie?

The phalanx tactic required each man to be able to lift both a shield and a spear. Any failure of even one man would result in the death of the entire phalanx.

>>78930705
so just let him stay in the back or out of the phalanx and die, that's the only thing he asked

Yes and no.
We are growing as a species, that's true, but people used to be small only in malnournished and disease ridden places. Like cities and towns.
People in the countryside weren't much smaller than we are today

But you are also correct. 5'9.5" the tallest average for women

>>78929212
Yes because Xerxes being a 10 foot freak with goat men in his army his historically accurate.

Its based on a comic that is based on a legend that is based on real life.

Also, those Spartans did die, very brutally, they didn't even stop the Persians, just delayed them.

>>78931668
It is just a meme, shit I've got a dumbass friend who is 5'4" or some crazy shit married to like an 9.5/10.

Meanwhile myself and my other two friends who range from 6'2"-6'4", barring one friend who is 5'10", are all single as fuck.

Shits a stupid ass meme anyways.

But Xerxes was a Big guy.

>>78931727
He was tall, but not 10 feet tall. Probably around 7'2" or so. A lot of civilizations used to change what their leaders actually looked like to make them threatening.

For instance Saladin and Richard the Lionheart, often depicted as incredibly taller as well, both being 6'7".

>>78931725
Your manlet friend is cool with other guy's penises ejaculating inside his wife.

>>78931668
>>78931725
See the thing that Manlet's need to learn is Height isn't that important. While it's true that some girls and even men only want a partner taller than them it's only a deal breaker for a small portion of them. It's also about confidence but not over confidence. Being short and thinking your the tallest guy there is as bad as being short and constantly checking to make sure they don't look too short.

How is any of this verifiable?

>>78931985
You didn't take the bait, right? Xerxes, Saladin and Richard were probably under 6' each.
Average height has increased greatly since we invented chemical fertilizers, for most of human history people would regularly starve and their growth would pause.

>>78932069
>Xerxes, Saladin and Richard were probably under 6' each.
You mean total.

>>78932069
yeah but feet were bigger back then. 5'11 back when xerxes was alive would be something close to 8 feet nowadays.

>>78932069
He's factually correct. Xerxes was measured by standard Roman Royal Cubit as standing as 5 cubits, where 1 cubit was 17.47 inches, otherwise 87.35 inches, or 7'2"/2.18m.

Richard the Lionheart's Skeleton still exists, which stood at 6'5"/1.95m, whereas Saladin doesn't entirely have a defined height, only that he was slightly taller than Richard the Lionheart, but barely.

>>78932147
You quote Herodotus, who says he was 10 feet 6 inches. You take the merchant cubit instead of the royal cubit there.

>>78932147
>>78932214
Now that I look at it, this isn't even about Xerxes, its about some cousin of his.


"And while Xerxes was in Acanthos, it happened that he who had been set over the making of the channel, Artachaies by name, died of sickness, a man who was highly esteemed by Xerxes and belonged to the Achaimenid family; also he was in stature the tallest of all the Persians, falling short by only four fingers of being five royal cubits in height, and he had a voice the loudest of all men; so that Xerxes was greatly grieved at the loss of him, and carried him forth and buried him with great honour, and the whole army joined in throwing up a mound for him. To this Artachaies the Acanthians by the bidding of an oracle do sacrifice as a hero, calling upon his name in worship."

>>78932147
>Richard the Lionheart's Skeleton still exists, which stood at 6'5"/1.95m, whereas Saladin doesn't entirely have a defined height, only that he was slightly taller than Richard the Lionheart, but barely.
It must've been quite exceptional considering the average height being lower back then. No wonder these guys were in charge.

>>78932214
There has never been and never will be a human that has reached the height of ten feet. The tallest human in history was 8'11"/2.72m. Its not evolutionary stable to be that tall for a human and people that tall do not live long lives at all.

Herodotus was even criticized during his own time for his information. He was rather showey in what he described and exaggerated tons. Hell he thought that the Nile flooded because of snow, to which he confused himself because "How could snow be in Africa?"

>>78932303
Exactly, I am saying that our only source on Xerxes' height is Herodotus, who claims he was over 10 feet.
And I corrected myself, saying thats about some relative of his, not the man himself, but it still stands.

At any rate, ancient propaganda was like World of Warcraft bosses. The more important the man, the larger he is. Illidan, who was meant to be just a regular elf, was the size of a tower.

>>78932280
The height of people actually varied pretty widely depending on the area. Obviously poor peasants in run down villages were malnourished, whereas say Peasants in other places ate fairly well. People born into nobility typically got the sleep and proper nutrition in which to grow by comparison however.

If I recall about 85-90% of height is pure genetics, while the other 10% is a lack of nutrition and sleep.

>>78932280

protip: everyone is 6'7 on a horse

>>78932330
Fair. I was just pointing out that since 1920 I believe, that its been widely accepted that Xerxes was rather tall based on random other accounts and generally accepted to be 5 royal cubits.

>>78932378
5 royal cubits is 10 feet 6 inches. And I quoted the History, the number was given for Artachaies, a relative of Xerxes. >>78932264

What was even the point of this character? He did absolutely nothing the whole movie. Even when he joined the Persians and I thought he was going to fight the Spartans for rejecting him, he just ended up with having 1 scene begging Leonidas to surrender.

Dude exactly this. I have a few friends from high school years back that are short as can be (maybe 5'3?) and they've always had relationships with hot women. But then they are normie outdoors types.

Meanwhile I'm 6'1 or 6'2 and my sperg ass is single as fuck.

has this board ever considered that women aren't actually laughing at your height. The height is irrelevant, what they find funny is how sexually nonthreatening and pathetic we all are. They then look for something to physically represent that, and height is pretty obvious. So is dick size, so is hair loss.

But what's really funny is the personality. Desperate, needy, will take any form of abuse for even the chance to pretend to feel accepted. That shit's funny, no matter how tall you are or how big your cock is. That's what they really laugh at.

Keep going on about how being a manlet means you will die alone. You will die alone, but not because you're small in stature. Because you are small in soul.

Edward I got the title of Longshanks because he was so tall and he was only 6'2

If Richard I and Saladin were both 6'5+ It would definitely get mentioned more

>>78932069
>for most of human history people would regularly starve and their growth would pause.

It's a small grip, but, most of civilised* human history

Also the recency of the Industrial Revolution also warps this a bit.

Poor diets as a result of farming lowered human height. Many skeletons of European and North African hunter-gatherers were 5'11 - 6'

The Industrial Revolution also tanked average European heights, which gives this false impression that humans were short as fuck up until very recently.
Pre-civilisation: relatively tall average
civilisation: manlet average
industrial revolution: uber-manlet average
modern era: relatively tall average.

>>78932147
roman inches were smaller dumbass

>>78932688
I agree with the other guy you're probably a downer to be around

>>78932147
here are some facts; the minimum height for the first cohort in the roman legions was 5' 10" and even then it was difficult to fill

these were the biggest guys in the army and 5' 10" in roman inches is 172cm in modern measurements which is literally tom cruise height
