Each 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 people who are absolutely different from the majority - those who have the lowest weight, height, or, on the contrary, too tall and too heavy. And what is he the biggest man on earth? And what is meant by the word "big"? Having a lot of weight, growth or great influence in the fate of the country, the world, etc.
Consider the influence of politicians, rulers, etc. can be very long, since each of them has contributed to the story. Let's assume that the largest person is the one who has the most impressive body weight. The absolute record recorded in the world was 635 kilograms! Unfortunately, this man died in 1983, and since then no one has beaten this achievement.
The title "biggest man" still belongs posthumously to John Brower Minnock of Seattle. To date, the largest body weight (560 kilograms) is Manuel Uribe, who lives in Mexico. For several years, Manuel could not even stand up on his own, not to mention moving around. And his body weight was calculated only approximately, because there are no scales with the necessary scale.
The Guinness Book of Records is another largest person, whose body weight reaches 508 kilograms. You may ask, why isn’t Manuel Uribe listed in the world record book? And all due to the fact that the exact mass 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 highest people on Earth! The tallest man in the world is considered to be Ukrainian Stadnik Leonid, whose growth is 257 centimeters. Leonid cannot ride in buses and cars, so the only means of transportation for him is a horse. And it is becoming increasingly difficult for him to live from year to year, since increased growth is a consequence of the pituitary gland disease. The stadnik admitted that he was not satisfied with world fame, so he abandoned his title.
Now the largest man in the world is the Turkish farmer Sultan Kosen. In 2010, his growth was 251 centimeters, but he is still increasing! The reason is a tumor in the pituitary gland. It’s hard for the Sultan to move independently, but he likes the celebrity, therefore he travels the world with pleasure.
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 there lived an ordinary peasant Makhnov Fedor. His height was 2 meters 85 centimeters! Moreover, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the highest person 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 remarkable for his remarkable strength and wore shoes of 51 sizes. The record holder died quite young - at 34 … from pneumonia! But why his outstanding physical data were not recorded - it is still unknown by official sources.
