We can estimate from the remains of structures so establish a theoretical upper-bound. If I had to guess, I'd say he was 7 ft, since as far as I know, 7 is the Hebrew number associated with perfection.
They prolly did not use american imperial units tho
Imperial units didn't come from America.
I know but USA imperial units are different from UK ones, just like how american english has some differences with standard english.
I assumes they were using USA imperial units since IIRC UK now also uses metrical units to some degree eg: they use centimeters to measure people's height
Edit: i may have confused UK and Canada in the last paragraph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_the_United_Kingdom
To be very pedantic, in the USA they're not imperial (we left the British Empire, we had a whole war about it), they're "US Customary Units" and they're defined in metric lol
