Stop Press: Is Sahan Dosova 130 years old?



Oldest person in the world since: TBC

Age: 130 years and counting
Born: March 27, 1879 - Kazakhstan
AOB: If Sahan was 130 years old, not only would she be the oldest living person, she would be the oldest ever person, strolling through the previous record set by Jeanne Calment from French France who shuffled off at the age of 122 in 1997.

The problem is, The Guinness Book of Records won't officially recognize Shana as the oldest living person without official proof and documentation. Bit of a problem when you were born before birth certificates were invented.

Doubters also point out that Sahan has 76-year-old daughter, which means she would have given birth at 56, which in itself would probably be some sort of record.
