And here we have him again. The 179 year old Indian. We already reported on the gentleman, who should actually be 182 years old today, in 2015.
And once again we are getting more inquiries about this gentleman because a page on Facebook republished a post on January 29, 2017.
Note: This is a snapshot for the current month. We have already covered this topic several times. The reason for the re-publication is once again inquiries from countless Internet users. This article is intended, among other things, to show how often we receive inquiries about certain topics. We all know: the Internet never forgets, as this case shows again. Hence the re-publication on this topic!
If you follow the status post, you will end up on a website where you will read the following:
“Murasi was a Schumacher in India during the British colonial period. Thanks to the exact records of the British, it is confirmed that he was born in 1835 and is therefore an incredible 179 years old. Murasi therefore survived seven generations.
He himself says that death has obviously forgotten him.
His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have been dead for a long time. The great-great-grandchildren are in old age and his great-great-great-grandchildren are close to retirement.
Murasi is proven to be the oldest person in the world and is in the Guinness Book of Records for his age.”
Is that correct? > No!
All German-language sites that have been reporting on this for years have fallen victim to a SATIRE ARTICLE from 2014!
The original message was from February 28, 2014, published by the “World News Daily Report”:

The “breaking news” that was there made us a little suspicious, so we looked a little closer.
Aha! An American Jewish Zionist news site from Tel-Aviv. Huh?
Our curiosity was piqued… we even discovered that this site belongs to a “New World Order Media”.
Were we now on the trail of the Illuminati? Would everything be explained now? Is Putin a reptilian creature? When we could hardly stand the suspense any longer, we finally came across the disclaimer :
Damn.
"All characters in articles on this site are purely fictional - even those based on real people - any similarity with living, dead or undead people is a pure miracle."
In short: This is a satirical site , but it doesn't act as obviously as the Postillon, for example, but rather seems almost serious, if some of the articles didn't seem too outrageous.
