Best Answer

A country mile was originally coined in ancient Egyptian times, with the word 'country' loosely translated from the Egyptian word for "pharoah's land". Archaelogists have discovered ancient tablets referring to the 'pharoah's land distance' as the distance of all the pharoah's pyramids end to end. By today's measurement standards, a country mile is approximately 12,765 feet (US).
