I pretty much ignore any of the claims in this thread that hinge on someone being really old. There's just no way to tell if that's really true, the older the people supposedly get the more likely it is that they faked (or just didn't know) their real age, e.g. by using a relative's paperwork or telling an official that they're 40 instead of 50. BTW the "blue areas" are probably fake, too.
