I would love to know where they got measurements for Jesus. I've read the Bible cover to cover numerous times and the subject doesn't come up.
Skeptical about the heights for several several other people also.
Apparently, Jesus was average in looks including his height, at least prior to his resurrection after which his body was glorified and his appearance changed (remember Mary Magdalene did not recognize him at first). I surmise Jesus was average looking because Judas had to point him out, with his kiss, when the Temple guard came to arrest him in the Garden of Gethsemane. Also, the Pharisees thought that Jesus did not look the part of the Messiah.
No hay ninguna prueba real que Jesucristo haya existido., todo inventos de la religión...
There is absolutely contemporary zero evidence whatsoever of Jesus even existing. No one who met him wrote about him and not a single person wrote about him during his alleged life.
No written evidence of his life exists anywhere.

I studied history all my life, the ancient sources we have about Alexander suggest that he was of average height for a man of his time, so most depict him at an average of 170cm, not 150cm. I never heard a historian claim that he was 150cm, it would make no sense, since that is far below the average height of a man living in Greece.

Что же касается внешности Спасителя, то наработки исследователя дали следующие результаты: рост около 180 см. Для своего времени Иисус был очень высоким человеком. Плечи у него были узкие. Христос слегка склонял голову, лицо у него было слегка, как у матери, сужающееся книзу, гладкое, без морщин, с легким румянцем. Нос тонкий, большой, прямой. Брови сдвинутые, черные, почти прямые. Волосы у Иисуса были цвета созревшего лесного ореха, не очень густые, нестриженые, длинные и гладкие до ушей, далее кудрявые, рассыпающиеся по плечам. Борода цвета пшеницы, густая, раздвоенная. Глаза глубоко посаженные, очень чистые, желтые, светлые, блестящие, быстро меняющие выражение. Пальцы рук длинные, тонкие, - пишет журнал.
А журнал не учитывает, В КАКОМ МЕСТЕ И ВРЕМЕНИ РОДИЛСЯ ИИСУС, КТО БЫЛ ПО ПРОИСХОЖДЕНИЮ? Скорее всего кожа у него была смуглая, волосы чёрные кучерявые, нос орлиный. )
Большой вопрос, существовал ли он вообще?
Читал про древнее племя, которому было больше нескольких 10-в тысяч лет. Так вот, средний рост у них был как и сеййчас, 175-180, а вождь племени был 2 м ростом. Так что дело не в древности, а в том какой образ жизни вели челы и чем питались. А иисус это вообще выдумка

The data is absolutely false. We have Ramses' mummy, and from it we can estimate the height of the living pharaoh in his prime as about 180 cm (5'11). On the other hand, there are no remains of Alexander, and I don't know where the notion of him having been that diminutive stems from. Well, I dimly remember that some ancient source described him as being "a bit shorter" than the average Greek at that time, yet even if that was really the case he'd still have been rather around 163-165 cm (5'4/5'5) than only 150 cm. Yes, Ramses was the considerably taller man, but it wasn't like David and Goliath.
These imperial/metric conversions are inaccurate.
180cm is not 5'9, but 5'11, rounded up, for instance.
King Sancho VII of Navarra (Spain) measures 2.31 meters.
I thought Tupac was 5'11". There's a mugshot of him. He's definitely at least 5'10".

Há...Ramsés com 208m, é brincadeira isso. Leonardo da Vinci 190m...envergonha até.
Eu não acredito q essas alturas sejam corretas. Pessoas muito altas eram raras até o século XIX. Os vikings, por exemplo, tinham altura média de 1m70, segundo exame de sepulturas, mas eram considerados altos pelos antigos.
Lord Sakyamuni Buddha is about 7ft (over 2m to 2m1) tall. 1m83 was his disciples like Moggalana, Sariputta...etc. Lord Buddha was described to be very tall and big compare to normal people in historical and Buddhist scriptures. Also, Mao Ze Dong is 1m80 tall, he's a very big and tall guy at the time, he's taller than Ho Chi Minh who is 1m75 tall. There's no way 1m70 is that big, 1m80 tall Mao Ze Dong is confirmed.

Where did you get your information from? Muhammad Ali was 6' 3 1/2" - [Angelo Dundee claimed at one point that Ali was actually 6' 4; Wikipedia lists him at 6' 3" but they're omitting the additional half inch] - not 6' 2"! I mean it seems to me that if your entire video is about how tall certain historical figures were [or are, if currently living] during their lives you should at least be able to get the one who was a modern professional sports figure - a professional heavyweight boxer, where they are REQUIRED to literally measure, record and display his height, and who only died about eight years ago - right! I googled the man's height, just to make sure I haven't got early onset dementia or something - and it literally took less than a minute to confirm an accurate reading! I know this probably all sounds petty, but this is what YOU chose to make a video about! How many other heights did you report inaccurately?
Many heights are random like Alexander the Great ( we know that his father king Phillip II was 1.80 cm and Alexander was shorter but he couldn't be shorther than 10 cm so his really height it must have been around 1.70 - 1.75 cm ), Jesus we don't know but from some descriptions had normal height and Cleopatra could be accurate 1.52 cm but maybe she could reach and 1.60 cm. But we don't know their actual height. Also, Ramses was 1.70 - 1.73 cm and Mussolini 1.68 - 1.70 cm.
5'7 is NOT 175 or 174 or like that.. 5'7 is 170. And that s it. Inch=2.54 cm. 5'7 =67 inch. 67× 2.54 = 170.18. End of storie.
It's rumored that Napoleon was very short. In fact he was as tall as Churchill, who was born a century later.

Hmm Google says alexander the great 5'0, DaVinci 5'9 and Rameses 2nd 5'6 🤷♂️
Even Ramses' mummy -- the dried, shrunken mummy of a man who passed at age 90 (!) -- is still almost 5'8. So how could the living man in his prime have been only 5'6? Realistically 20-50 year old Ramses must have been around 5'11.
As for Alexander, of whom no remains exist, no-one can know his exact height. I believe some ancient source described him as "a bit shorter" than the average Greek at that time, which would place him at about 5'4-5'5 since average male height back then was 5'6-5'7. No way he was only 5'0 -- that's not "a bit shorter than average" but diminutive even in antiquity.

The reliable Gospel eyewitness accounts aren’t the only ancient description of Jesus. There are also non-Christian descriptions of Jesus from the late 1st to 5th Century. What do the non-Biblical accounts say about Jesus and how are we to assess them? It’s been my experience that two people can examine the same event (or even the same historical character) and disagree about what they have seen. Many years ago President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, and the entire event was captured on video tape. There were hundreds of eyewitnesses. The tapes were watched over and over again. Yet, in the midst of such a robust eyewitness record, people still argue to this day about what they saw and what actually happened. Was it a lone shooter or an elaborate conspiracy? Something very similar occurred when the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists. Most of us either saw the attack live on television or watched the video for months afterward. But the event is still interpreted in a variety of ways. Was this the act of international terrorists or an elaborate governmental conspiracy? Two well documented historical events with a rich set of evidences. In spite of this, both events have been interpreted in a variety of ways. It shouldn’t surprise us then to find the historical records of Jesus Christ might also experience the same type of scrutiny and diverse interpretation. Did Jesus truly live, minister, died and rise from the grave as the Gospels record or was it an elaborate conspiracy? One thing we know about the Kennedy assassination and the World Trade Center attack: regardless of interpretation, there were eyewitnesses to the events, and the events did truly occur. In a similar manner, the ancient evidence related to Jesus reveals there were eyewitnesses and He did exist in history. Is there any evidence for Jesus outside the Bible? Yes, and the ancient non-Christian interpretations (and critical commentaries) of the Gospel accounts serve to strengthen the core claims of the New Testament.
Hostile Non-Biblical Pagan Accounts
There are a number of ancient classical accounts of Jesus from pagan, non-Christian sources. These accounts are generally hostile to Christianity; some ancient authors denied the miraculous nature of Jesus and the events surrounding His life:
Thallus (52AD)
Thallus is perhaps the earliest secular writer to mention Jesus and he is so ancient his writings don’t even exist anymore. But Julius Africanus, writing around 221AD does quote Thallus who previously tried to explain away the darkness occurring at Jesus’ crucifixion:
“On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness; and the rocks were rent by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down. This darkness Thallus, in the third book of his History, calls, as appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun.” (Julius Africanus, Chronography, 18:1)
If only more of Thallus’ record could be found, we might find more confirmation of Jesus’ crucifixion. But there are some things we can conclude from this account: Jesus lived, He was crucified, and there was an earthquake and darkness at the point of His crucifixion.
Tacitus (56-120AD)
Cornelius Tacitus was known for his analysis and examination of historical documents and is among the most trusted of ancient historians. He was a senator under Emperor Vespasian and was also proconsul of Asia. In his “Annals’ of 116AD, he describes Emperor Nero’s response to the great fire in Rome and Nero’s claim that the Christians were to blame:
“Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular.”
In this account, Tacitus confirms several historical elements of the Biblical narrative: Jesus lived in Judea, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and had followers who were persecuted for their faith in Christ.
Mara Bar-Serapion (70AD)
Sometime after 70AD, a Syrian philosopher named Mara Bar-Serapion, writing to encourage his son, compared the life and persecution of Jesus with that of other philosophers who were persecuted for their ideas. The fact Jesus is known to be a real person with this kind of influence is important. Mara Bar-Serapion refers to Jesus as the “Wise King”:
“What benefit did the Athenians obtain by putting Socrates to death? Famine and plague came upon them as judgment for their crime. Or, the people of Samos for burning Pythagoras? In one moment their country was covered with sand.
