Experts believe they have found a
new world’s oldest man after
documents emerged that appear to
show Mbah Gotho to be 145 years
old.

The record-breaking Indonesian would
easily be the world’s oldest person ever
– breezing past previous holder Jeanne
Calment, who died at the age of 122.
Mr Gotho is said to have been born on
31 December 1870 – 31 years before the
death of Queen Victoria.

If the documents, which are recognised
by Indonesian authorities, are true, he
would have already been 43-years-old
when the First World War began on 28
July 1914.

He has outlived four wives and all 10 of
his children and now has
grandchildren, great grandchildren and
great-great grandchildren.
But Mr Gotho has said he is ready to
die after reaching such an unbelievable
age.

He said: “What I want is to die. My
grandchildren are all independent.”
And one of his grandsons, Suryanto,
says that his grandfather first starting
making preparations for the fateful day
when he was 122 years old.

His documents have not yet been
independently verified – meaning he is
not officially the world’s oldest person.

145?
