This the oldest recorded with evidences... There's some who are beleived to have lived up to 140 years old and maybe older, but are not recorded because of lack of proof...in china and some in remotes mountains villages around the world, but because of theyre very few contact with modern civilisation they cannot be proven... I heard of a person so old that nobody in his village could remember when he was born, he himself could not remember....lol...no one was older than him....and some medical test proved that he was more than 100 years old and possibly alot more...
