The oldest people in the world live in the mountains

In the mountain village lives a man who claims that he was born in 1890.
If you believe the data that is stored in the state archive of Bolivia, a citizen of this state, Carmelo Flores Laura (Cаrmelo Flоres Lаura) — the oldest resident of our home planet.





As the date of birth of his grandfather the documents stated on July 16, 1890, almost a month ago he celebrated his 123rd birthday.





The old man Carmelo lives in quite a remote area around lake Titicaca, speak Spanish, never learned to read and write and have long lost their teeth. Although the old man is quite tolerable sight, hearing already sums it up. Carmelo himself agrees that he has long been executed a hundred years, but he doesn't know and can't tell your exact age. The secret of his longevity — the fact that throughout his life he worked hard enough and ate enough.





My grandfather has three children, 16 grandchildren and 39 great-grandchildren.
