الحاجة ميمونة تحتفل بعيدها الـ122 في عكار

in well respected countries such an old and vigurous person should be well taken care of.
The world should know about her and shame on Lebanon not to mention her

I thought the oldest person in the world alive is 115 years. We should contact the world guiness book of records.

omething is wrong... i think she's not as old as it is claimed.. if she was born in 1890, that means that she was she was 41 when she gave birth to her son in 1931..very unlikely those days.

how old is her son hassan?

It's all BS.... In Iran they supposedly have a 135 y.o man.....

Saudi Arabia have a man with 145 yrs old.

this guy might be the oldest man alive still living with his mother lol

A story like this should be inspiring & they should get support & recognition for sure.

kiserwanimoughadram: My understanding of why she claims to be born before 1890 is because when people were born during that time in that region (maybe other places too), they did not document birthdays accurately. What would happen is that they made a birth certificate much later than the actual birth date. That is what I have heard from several people there and apparently this has happened even in the not too distant pass. One person even told me that their actual birth date was eight years prior. I'm sharing my personal experience, so please don't bash. I'm not agreeing with it, merely sharing what I know. ps I know someone who lived to 117 from a neighbouring village.
