short like Tom Cruse, about 5 foot 2 inches
Hmm... you took my answer. ;D So I'll go the opposite direction and say he towered over those peasants beneath him, topping 6-foot-6 and maybe approaching the mystical 7 feet.
Yeah, that's the ticket. He is a manifestation of a god, after all. :)

I'm gonna go with about 4' 10" as well. Folks were pretty short back in the day, even royalty.
In England in the year 1000 AD the men were slightly taller than they are now and the women were only slightly shorter. It was in the overcrowded and underfed cities that deficiencies and plagues altered the human form and caused a few hundred years of shortness... so when one tours a two hundred year old home in the US and sees tiny beds, we imagine that the steroids in the beef have created a race of pimply modern titans and that all people in the past were wee men stuffed 17 to a barrel.
Not that history didn't have its healthy share of famed shorties.

And the answer is......5'11"---that's (lessee...mbwa...times...mbwa point mwow...carry the....aah, myerrrs....)180 cm!!!
I would have guessed 5'2".
That was my first guess and then my second was 5'9... why do I go with the second when the first one is always right? <sigh>
"Uh... I'd say he was prolly between 3 and 9 feet..."

Actually, my 11th grade English teacher said the same thing--always to go with your first guess.

I'm not sure where you're getting your information... I have on pretty definite authority that King Tut was actually 4 and a half meters tall, or a little under sixteen feet.
He was a member of an superintelligent race of evil aliens that used the pyramids as parking places for their spaceships while they enslaved humanity to fulfill their superintelligent evil plans.
He ruled with an iron fist for seventy thousand years until a band of adventurous heroes overthrew him and his minions in our year 1938. Unfortunately, our heroes' victory wasn't complete and a small but highly placed number of Tut's evil cronies escaped and created this false history we have all been lead to believe in order to bring about the necessary mindset that will allow the return of the Evil Alien Overlords.
It is rumored that the Overlords nearly regained entry in 1986, but were repulsed by a hero known only as Howard.
