A retired cobbler from northern India, Mahashta M\u00fbrasi, claims he was born in January 1835, making him not only the oldest man on earth, but the oldest to have ever lived, according to the Guiness World Records.<\/p>\n
According to indian officials, the man was born at home in the city of Bangalore on January 6th 1835, and is recorded to have lived in V\u00e2r\u00e2nas\u00ee since 1903. He worked as a cobbler in the city until 1957, when he retired at the already venerable age of 122.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been alive so long, that my great grand-children have been dead for years\u201d explains Mr M\u00fbrasi.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomehow death forgot about me\u2026 And now there\u2019s hardly any hope left. Look at the statistics, nobody dies past 150, even less at 170. At that point, I guess I\u2019m immortal or something. I might as well enjoy it!\u201d<\/p>\n
The man\u2019s birth certificate and identity cards all seem to confirm his version, but unfortunately no medical examination can confirm what he is saying for now.<\/p>\n
The last doctor Mister M\u00fbrasi visited died in 1971, so there is little information available about his previous medical files.<\/p>\n
