A Georgian woman who claimed to be 132-years-old - making her the world’s oldest human being ever - has died.

Antisa Khvichava claimed to have been born on 8 July 1880, and had a Soviet-era passport and documentation to that effect, but her age was contested and never officially proven.

would already have been 31 when the Titanic sunk in April 1912 and 37 during Russia’s October Revolution in 1917. She would have been 61 when the Soviet Union entered the Second World War in 1941 and 111 when the Soviet Union formally came to an end in 1991

Pretty interesting I thought. If she really was 132, imagine having lived through all of those of events, not to mention the technological changes she would have witnessed. I'm no scientist but is there not a reliable way to test someone's body to ascertain their age? The human version of counting a tree's rings if you will.

Lol how did the comments section of that story turn into a way for what I suspect are republicans to talk about Obamas birth certificate?
 
Seriously though, 132 years is an incredible lifespan. It's more than double what most people could hope to achieve, I should imagine. The size and scope of the change that has happened in that time is quite staggering.

I wonder if they'll be able to verify her lifespan or whether we'll be left wondering. I also wonder if future scientific developments will ruin this kinda thing, like doping ruined cycling.
 
A lot of people make claims to being over 120 years old, but most are debunked. I think there has only been one verified case of a person living past 120 years old, and this person would be 9 years older than her. The fact that she has a has a grandson who is 90 years younger than her is a bit skeptical. Not impossible, but not all that common either.
 
Amazing. 15 years before her birth slavery was still around in the states. Just goes to show how recent it was. I always here people tryna pass it off as a long ago thing.

another way of putting it: the oldest person to ever live was still too young by 15 years to have been an infant while slavery was an institution.
 
I'm not 30 yet but like reaching 100 and living for an additional 32 years after that, just comparing myself to that for the moment. What the hell are you doing with yourself all day? I think I have seen quite a lot so far in my life but surely by a 100 your barely able to move. You're probably not leaving the house much, are you just watching TV for 30 odd years or waking up going "I really hope this is the day"

By the looks of that video, playing board games and drinking vodka.
 
False. There have been many other people that have been documented having lived longer than that. Noah, Moses, Adam, Eve, and a few others I can't think of right now.

well, when you're 100 you could run a marathon or something. if you do your best to stay healthy.

and just think about what the internet will be like so many decades from now, when some of us are a 100 years old or more.. we will probably not even want to leave the house. it will be some Matrix type shit.

The first person to pass 150 years has probably already been born. Crazy.

i'll bet my account that some of us posting in this very thread will be alive at 150 still posting here. (note to self: opportunity for epic bump)
 
Living is awesome but I don't think I'd want to live so long with my body all worn out.
 
How much younger than her alleged age was her youngest child? That's usually the clearest sign that a longevity claim is full of shit.
 
Man... at 132 I'll still have a backlog. She totally could have 100%'d Xenoblade, I'll never get to to that or Elder Scrolls!

RIP, old gamer lady.

Pretty sure this is in relation to the comment that was posted in response to the "PS3 has no games" comic strip in the pics that make you laugh thread some time ago.
 
Jeez...I can't even imagine living past seventy-five, let alone one hundred thirty-two. God bless you woman....may you rest in peace.
 
If she was really 132 that would be amazing.

She basically saw some of the biggest advancements in human history. Imagine if she was really born in 1880 she was a teen before the 19th century was even over. Born way before film, roads, plains, even light bulbs were even common. It just boggles my mind thinking about it.

She got to live in three centuries. Not many can say that.
 
Having been in her sixties when WW2 started is crazy to me. She was old when old people were born!

* Assuming her age is correct.

lol. Seriously though, there must have been some other people throughout history that got to be that old or maybe even a bit older, right? Maybe we just don't know about them. I know most people didn't get to be very old during big sections of human history, but history is long that there must be exceptions.

Pretty crazy, I know. Are there pictures of her during that time that maybe prove she was already old back then? That'd be awesome.
