— Balkar people means a person celebrating a century, the term "gazelec". There is also the term for the 150th anniversary, — "castek". If there is a term, then we can conclude that in ancient times, people celebrated the 150th anniversary. Another thing is that, as a scientist, I find it hard to believe that a person can live more than 120 years, explains ethnogenetic Murat Gouvernetou.
