A man, Saparaman Sodimejo, otherwise known as, Mbah Gtho, who claims to be the oldest human ever has celebrate turning 146. He has an Indonesian ID card that purports his date of birth is December 31, 1870.


Attending his party were his grandson Suryanto and wife Suwarni, with their children Erika Kurniawati and Anisa Kurniawati, among other younger surviving relatives.

He has, unsurprisingly, outlived all 10 of his siblings as well as his four wives, the last of whom died in 1988.

All of his children have also died, and now he is survived by his grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren.

Despite his alleged advanced age the man is still able to walk and move independently.


If correct, that makes him significantly older than the verified oldest person in the world ever, a title that belongs to French woman Jeanne Calment, who lived to be 122. 

'He eats everything and has never even been ill,' a family member said.
