Artachaees, son of Artaeus, was an Achaemenid engineer of ancient Persia, who lived around the 5th century BCE. He was reputed to be the tallest man in his country. He was described as being "four fingers short of five royal cubits". It is not possible to know with any precision what modern length was meant here, but most scholars agree it was somewhere between seven and eight feet tall. Aside from his height, Artachaees was most noted for his architecting of the Xerxes Canal across the peninsul
