On this day 145 years ago, on July 8, 1880 (June 2, 1880 in the lunar calendar), the "world's oldest living" old man, Antissa Hewishava, was born. Antissa Hewishava, from western Georgia, was born on July 8, 1880, according to Meunisvili, spokesperson for the Civil Registry of the Justice Department of Antissa Hewishava. The old man lived in a vine-covered country house in the mountains with her 40-year-old grandson, and according to archives, she retired as a tea and corn picker in 1965 at the age of 85. "I have always been healthy, I have always worked, at home and on the farm," said Antissa, who wore a bright skirt, a headscarf and red lipstick. She is understood to have one son, 10 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren. Her only son, 70, was born at the ripe old age of 60. She said she had two other children from a previous marriage, but both died of starvation during World War II. Although she has difficulty walking and has been in bed for most of the past seven years, she occasionally walks to an outhouse on her own and does not want to be a burden, her family said. Neighbors told reporters that the old woman's mind is very clear. However, her age could not be quickly confirmed by an independent agency because her birth certificate was lost. She was one of many Georgians who lost their identity cards during the revolution and civil war that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union. But Ms. Meunisvili produced two Soviet-era documents that he said could prove her age. Many officials, neighbors, friends and descendants supported her claim for the world's highest life expectancy.
