  1. I believe the first definition was 150,000 Sumerian cubits, a standard established in 2650 BC. Sky chariot orbital decay problems and a change in dominance led to an upward revision to 200,000 Egyptian royal cubits set down in 2600 BC by Sneferu (4th Dynasty), which was used throughout the period of flying alien pyramids. The Greeks set the top of the atmosphere in feet instead of cubits, but since different city-states had different standards for the length of a foot, no consistent definition was reached. The Romans finally set the distance at LXXV miles. Then came the metric system and chaos ensued.
