Mohammed bin Zarei of Saudi Arabia left behind family of over 180 members
By Staff
Published Monday, March 11, 2013
A Saudi man dubbed “the dean of centenarians” died in the Gulf Kingdom this week at the age of 154 years, nearly four years after his name was listed in Guinness as the oldest living man in the world, newspapers reported on Monday.
Mohammed bin Zarei died of old age at a hospital in the tiny village of Sadr Ayad near the southern town of Nammas, leaving behind more than 180 children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He had 10 wives and had told a local TV station that he was looking for a new wife at the age of 150 after all his wives died.
“Bin Zarei died at hospital this week….he was 154 years old...the man had seen all the kings that ruled Saudi Arabia,” one paper said.
Bin Zarei hit headlines when the Saudi satellite TV news channel Alarabiya broadcast a film about him a few years ago, during which he said he was in a good health. The programme presenter, Saud Al Khalaf, called him “the dean of centenarians”.
When he was 150 years old, his name was entered in Guinness book of records as the oldest living man on earth, according to the report.

I seriously doubt whether anyone other than a few gullible Saudis believed this guy was older than a century or so; if so, why is he never mentioned in this regular stories about the oldest person on the planet dying in Japan or France at 120 or so?
And what about that SUPPOSEDLY well-documented European in the 17th Century (or so) whose name I can't recall, who is said to have lived maybe into his third century. (I forget the details; sorry, I read the extensive Wiki piece on him many years ago...

Maybe they sent a claim,but it wasn't accepted.

He never claimed to be over 200.
Li Chung-yun (1680??-1933) is the most extreme undocumented
claim Guinness has ever seen fit to mention,as an example of
absurd exaggeration.

Bible people point to the gentlemen who lived for over 800 years per the OT.

to
fault. Maybe some American shyster decided to showcase the world's
oldest man to the rest of the world, and using Saudi Arabia will make
his claim more difficult to disprove. Anyway, point is, I know for a
fact the Saudi guy is not the oldest person on earth for one reason
alone: I am the oldest person on earth. I don't look it and can't
prove it, but ever since the age of 5 I have counted my birthdays and
as of tomorrow at 5pm I will be 183 years old. The secret is to grow
slow. I didn't jerk off till I was 50, didn't go out with a member of
the opposite sex till I was 75, and didn't get married till I was
110. Grow slow, that's my motto. Grow slow and die fast and have a
good looking corpse.
