Every person on our planet is individual. Each of us has its own distinctive features that are not inherent in other individuals. Someone is very smart, and someone is talented, one has a perfect figure, and the other has gorgeous hair. Nature has endowed everyone with something good. However, there are also people who are absolutely different from the majority - those who have the lowest weight, height, or, on the contrary, are too tall and overweight. What is the biggest person on earth? And what is meant by "large"? Having great weight, growth or great influence in the fate of the country, the world, etc.
Consider the influence of politicians, rulers, etc. can be for a very long time, since each of them made a contribution to history. Let's assume that the biggest person is the one who has the most impressive body weight. The absolute record registered in the world was 635 kilograms! Unfortunately, this man died in 1983 and no one has beaten this achievement since.
The title of "biggest man" is still posthumously held by John Brower Minnock of Seattle. To date, the largest body weight (560 kilograms) has Manuel Uribe, who lives in Mexico. For several years now, Manuel cannot evenstand up on your own, let alone move around. And his body weight was calculated only approximately, because there are no scales with the necessary scale.
The Guinness Book of Records registered another largest person, whose body weight reaches 508 kilograms. You ask, why is not Manuel Uribe listed in the world record book? And all because the exact weight of his body has not been established.
With "heavy" people, everything is clear, but the definition of "the biggest man" can be applied to the tallest people on Earth! The tallest man in the world is Ukrainian Stadnik Leonid, whose height is 257 centimeters. Leonid cannot ride in buses and cars, so the only means of transportation for him is a horse. Yes, and it becomes more and more difficult for him to live from year to year, since increased growth is a consequence of a disease of the pituitary gland. Stadnik admitted that world fame did not suit him, so he gave up his title.
Now the biggest man in the world is Turkish farmer Sultan Kosen. In 2010, his height was 251 centimeters, but he is still increasing! The reason is a tumor in the pituitary gland. It is hard for the Sultan to move independently, but he likes a celebrity, so he enjoys traveling the world.
But if you look into history, you can find out that in our country there were giant people. So, in the Russian Empire in the 19th century, an ordinary peasant Fedor Makhnov lived. His growth was2 meters 85 centimeters! Moreover, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the tallest man in the history of mankind is Robert Wadlow with a height of 2 meters 72 centimeters. Our compatriot had a weight of 182 kilograms, was distinguished by remarkable strength and wore shoes of size 51. The record holder died quite young - at 34 … from pneumonia! But why his outstanding physical data was not recorded - official sources are still unknown.
