Some videos on TikTok even claim that there exists a 399-year-old woman who is the oldest person in the world.
For instance, a video posted by @briar_cares — with over 60 million videos and more than 7 million likes — asserted that the woman was the oldest person in the world. And similar other vidoes claim that she cannot move or speak due to her old age.
But quite interestingly, all those vidoes claiming the person in the video to be close to 400 years old are actually attaching the pictures and snaps of the same old man, also known as the Buddhist monk from Thailand.
And it turns out some users have been making false claims and noting the old man as the 399-year-old woman. In reality, there is no such woman.
On the other hand, Guinness World Records verified that Kane Tanaka from Fukuoka, Japan, is the oldest living person in the world on March 9, 2019. Tanaka, a woman, is 119-year-old [as of 2022] and was born on January 2, 1903.
