To simply sit there half blind and being physical f...d is not what is good living

​@@ananas63637that was only the last month of her life. She was fine before

Imagine being 80 and living for another 42 years

She didn’t though! Not true never trust the French!…. But you could say imagine to be 117 years old like the genuine wrinkle faced Japanese woman.

I see what you mean lol. I hope one day we can find a clear answer

I think she was 122

@@KingJackson11355 she was definitely 122. You can see in the way she looks in her final years that she is way older than 90 or even 100. There’s proof of her being 1 in 1876 and when you look at old photos of her in the 1890s she shares the same bone structure as the woman we see in the 1990s. Mainly with the nose. She was definitely 122 and I think it’s disrespectful of those who suggest she wasn’t.

@@stanleycullen2690 That is all true. You do have good points

😂😂

Sarah Knauss had a 96-year-old daughter and a 74-year-old grandson when she died😅

I'm 36 and feel as though my life is already over lol

@@holzmann-Incredible!!

🤦‍♀️

@@thelastword71 ?

Quick correction, Kane Tanaka is actually 119!

@@richardjones6024 Thanks. Edited

I hope Kane takana passes Jeanne’s record!

They should examine them but it seems like her french validaters do not want that to happen

they validated her age . She had all the correct documents. These sort of investigation isnt taken lightly. She was genuinely age 122 and she had a very long and I presume filling life.

Google says:this technology is not yet made

@Jack Smith Why is that? She actually felt very well up until the last couple of years I believe. Same goes with Kane Tanaka who lived till 119.

@@KingJackson11355 It is true. Kane started to go downhill when she turned 118. She simply died of old age there isn't really any more she could have done to reach 119. To reach 120 a near perfect lifestyle, diet, strong genes, cells, mitochondria, and organs are required. Jeanne has left the bar very high and may take up to a century for someone to surpass her, (although I think it will be less than that and someone alive now will do it, probably from Japan France, Spain, or Italy.)

Plus if it was her daughter many people would have had to be in on the scam. And she would have had to have facial surgery because the nose of Jeanne calment and her daughter look nothing alike

@@KingJackson11355 its exactly her jean calment

Her daughter died of pneumonia in 1934.

@praywithoutceasing4939 yes she the oldest living person being recorded.

She’s also seen WW1,WW2, Vietnam. She was in her late 30s when WW1 started. It’s really incredible when you think about it.

exactly.

I agree!!

Actually, the true fraud is that taxes even exist in the first place. Governments need to leave their people alone and let them do with their own properties as they wish. ..... I am not going to fault this family for avoiding financial rape.

Wouldn’t you think that the notaire who signed the viager would have easily recognised a 90 years old from a 67 years old? 😅😅😅 how can you even think that such a thing is logically possible? The viager anecdote gives fuller proof that she could not have been Yvonne.

she was 12 when they met🙃

@ugo ...well that's definitely a different story. She wouldn't be thinking about "hooking up" but still a funny comment.

​@@joseph4349she said her husband introduced them 😂 God how does anyone believe her?

@@rachelc6443 No she literally quoted her husband saying to van Gogh "I present you my wife" (translated) There are video recordings of her saying this from two separate occasions.

bro im her decent and she sold paintbrushes to van gogh when she was twelve

True. She did look very old the last few years of her life.

Looked like a regular old lady to me; nothing remarkable.

Nah, my great aunt was 99 and she looked like this lady or "next level old". Like almost turning into dust

Kane Tanaka is dead. Now the oldest is Sister Andre!

@@jutjubowThat is very true. But still, she became 3 years younger than this woman from France. So my point is, why should 122 be impossible when 119 is.

@@N0skGaming I really wanted Kane to beat Jeannes record. It would be nice if Lucile could. But even if she can’t I’m still very proud of her

@@KingJackson11355 Absolutely! Can you imagine the life experiences she must have had. The knowledge and wisdom which we read about in books, is things that she has witnessed.

@@jutjubow welp

NETFLIX could make a 6 parter

Lol now it's scaring me thanks

I noticed that too lol

She "sold" the house in 1965, 31 years after her daughter died. There was no reason, financial or otherwise, for an identity switch in 1934.

@@amberleah2008 Why is Yvonne's name not on the family tombstone?

True but we don’t know the real reason for that. I wish they would test the bodies so we would know the truth

Apparently for the “Facebook coalition” documents can never be faked. They have a blood sample that could easily show if it is the mother or daughter. Jeanne married her second cousin, so Yvonne would have 12 great-great grandparents instead of 16 like Jeanne-and this could be easily determined by homozygosity of the alleles in the sample. But again, the anti-switch side argues that Calment’s validation was so great that no further testing is needed.

@@gregderamo5589 I wish they could just do the test already. I really want to know the truth.

@@KingJackson11355 There is more evidence. When she was asked about who accompanied her to school, she adressed a maid that was revealed to just have been born when Jeanne started going to school

Interesting mental exercise. From an article of the New Yorker: “When Calment was ninety-four, in 1969, her notary bought her apartment. The purchase was made under the French en viager system, in which the buyer agrees to make regular payments on a property that the seller continues to live in. In such an arrangement, the buyer essentially wagers on how quickly the seller will die. The Calment apartment proved to be an epically terrible investment. By the time the notary died, in 1995, he’d spent nearly two hundred thousand dollars, more than twice the value of the place, without ever taking occupancy.” Let’s suppose Jeanne was actually Yvonne; would her notary had subscribed the viager agreement with a 71 years-old woman? Are you telling me that someone who had known her even for 5 to 10 years prior to that date (hence the expression “her notary” vs. “a notary”) could have mistaken a 71 years old Yvonne for a 94 years old Jeanne? This simple mental exercise is enough to rule out the possibility of the identity theft.

Book chapter and verse please?

@@timothyodeyale6565 Gensis 6:3 “And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” I said 121 you got me it's 120

Bible is irrelevant rn. She was 122. Nothing else has ever been proven. People can say what they want but it requires serious proof to say that a person is someone else.

Wheres your evidence that this is the skeptics reasoning?

@@Sunkenballs12 I don't need to give you evidence I just stated my opinion and what I wrote came straight from the King James Bible.

@@LilOutdoorsmangooglepluslol right it’s not gonna be like that for most ppl

Image even see that old person

If it wasn't for the cigarettes, she could've lived to 140.

Maybe the people she met in her young youthful days, she probably met more people in their 20s at age 80 or even her 90s

This lady was a leech no doubt.

@@Medic_312 id rather die young and purposeful than old and worthless eh Mitchell?

I haven't seen any statistics like that. From what I've seen, it's the opposite: a life of leisure, privilege and fewer worries promotes a longer life. Poverty and toiling shorter life.

I was named after a billionaire grandson in my place, his company turns into a large empire when he was about 40 years old.. 50+ years enjoying the fruit of his labor.. now that guy pushing through 95 years of age and still able to walk and climb stairs normally too!

Yep, stress makes one die young. Thats why I avoid it too !

shes a relative of mine and we have photos of her she aint no fake everyone on her side either lived to be around 100 or died really young no inbetween

For me to be 122 it would be in the year 2121. Maybe that will be more common to live that long in our generation.

@@Sunkenballs12 Comment was posted a year ago buddy

The general consensus is that 125 is the absolute limit for a human lifespan. That might change in the future but nobody is living to 150 now.

Imposible

Without genetic modification, nobody is going to live to 150. And since that hasn't happened yet, that person isn't alive today.

Very few knew of the identity switch and they had good reason to keep it secret.

She looked pretty attractive when she was young

@@isthatzq 😀

Well the oldest person alive today is 119. So it’s not totally impossible. I don’t get why they can’t test the bodies

@@KingJackson11355 there isn't a test you can do - nothing whatsoever will tell you how old you are. Carbon dating only work AFTER a person dies. There is absolutely not certain way to do it - the best you can do is prove it through documentary chains but that isn't 100% proof.

how do you know this?

Her daughter Yvonne, at age 99.

@@holzmann- her daugther died 1935

Well Kane Tanaka lived to 119 and Lucile Randon was almost 119 so it’s not totally impossible Jeanne was 122. I wish they would test the bodies so we know for sure.
