Antisa Khvichava who claimed to be world’s oldest living person dies in remote Georgian village(video)

According to her documents, Antisa Khvichava was born on July 8, 1880 and attributed her amazing longevity to drinking 50 grams of grape “chacha,” a type of local brandy, every day after breakfast before she started her day’s work. Her age has been disputed by many experts, who have concluded that her documents were incorrect or falsified. As noted in local reports, Khvichava survived through two world wars and saw the creation and fall of the Soviet Union. She lived long enough to have 12 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and four great-great grandchildren. A Georgian local official shows a document with the birth date of Mrs Khvichava in Sachino Experts doubted her claim, substantiated on birth documents much younger than her. Georgia became part of the Soviet Union in 1921 – and was part of the Russian empire when she was ‘born’. Without 130-year-old documents, University of California lecturer and Gerontology Research Group member Stephen Coles said the claim will ‘remain a curiosity in a newspaper or floating on the internet’. She only spoke in her local language of Mingrelian, and said in 2010 through a translator at her 130th birthday party: ‘I’ve always been healthy, and I’ve worked all my life – at home and at the farm.’ She had trouble walking, stayed largely in bed over the past decade and her cramped fingers meant she could not maintain her love of knitting – but relatives said her mind stayed sharp. Mrs Khvichava (pictured in 2010) holds her passport in her home in the village of Sachino To mark her 130th birthday, a string group played folk music out on the lawn, while grandchildren offered traditional Mingrelian dishes such as corn porridge and spiced chicken with herbs. ‘Grandma has a very clear mind and she hasn’t lost an ability to think rationally,’ her granddaughter Shorena, who lives in a nearby village, said in an interview at the time. The world’s oldest living person verified by Guinness World Records is Besse Cooper, of Monroe, Georgia, who celebrated her 116th birthday in August and was born in Tennessee in 1896. But the oldest person fully authenticated by Guinness was the French woman Jeanne Calment, who lived to 122 years and 164 days before dying in August 1997 at a nursing home in Arles.
