The Straight Edge

I'm perplexed, where did the first straight edge come from. You know, a perfectly straight edge, that us humans can use to build all the technological miracles of modern society...?

If you think about it, you can only create a straight edge, with another straight edge, that is equally as straight. So where did the very first one come from?

You can use a table-saw to make a straight edge, but a table saw couldn't have been created without a pre-existing straight edge...

Its a modern day chicken-or-the-egg scenario... and by all means, any light you can shed would be must appreciated!
