Saed News: The circulation of images claiming that a Thai woman is 399 years old and the oldest woman in the world has sparked widespread reactions.
According to the Society section of Saed News, quoting Young Journalists Club (YJC), while the internet provides us with fascinating facts and news, it is also home to many false reports and fake videos. Some individuals, in pursuit of popularity and fame on social media, manipulate, Photoshop, and edit videos.
According to the Daily Star, a video was recently shared on the social media platform TikTok, showing a 399-year-old Thai woman. The video claims that this woman turns 399 years old today. It further claims that due to extreme old age, she is unable to walk or speak. However, this viral clip is a fake video, as Guinness World Records has already officially recognized the oldest person on Earth.
Upon further investigation, it was revealed that the person claimed to be the oldest human on Earth is actually a 109-year-old Thai monk named Luang Ta Ya. A video of him had previously been circulated showing him lying in a hospital bed. After being shared on TikTok, the video garnered over 80 million views.
