The oldest woman.......ever
I have attached (hopefully) a picture of a woman called Sakhan Dosova who was born in 1879 , when Queen Victoria was only 22 and the lightbulb was first introduced.....until it stopped working and they had to invent another one to replace it.
Not remarkable you say.....I say it is remarkable as Ms Dosova is still alive today, which makes her the oldest woman ever at the tender young age of 130 years.
And what's her secret? She has never taken any pills and if she was ill, she would use her granny's remedies to cure her. She has never eaten sweets but loves kurt (a salty dried cottage cheese) and talkan (ground wheat).

A conversation that my bro and mom had with me today. Things that made the older generations in better help then our generation.
To be 130 years old, and not taken any of todays modern medicine, they really need to write down her remedies.

Aargh, the pain-in-the-ass historian in me has to point out that Queen Victoria was born around 1820.
Is anyone else here thinking, like me, that if she lives one more year she will equal Bilbo Baggins?
I'd be happy to live till 130 as long as I have my wits about me, and am in reasonable physical shape -ie. not bed-ridden. However, I suspect I am not eating the right foods...

No, your not the only PITAA. Victoria was 18 when she came to the throne in 1837.
I dont think I'd want to live that long. Most of yours friends will most likely be dead and you may be alive, but are you really living?
Posted by Metaliant on 27-03-2009 at 14:43:
I only copied and slightly edited what I read so I can't comment on what happened in that year or who was born when, where, how, why, etc, etc.
Can you imagine what it's like living at that age and saw a whole century go by like she did.

You're good! I knew her reign was 1837-1901, but I didn't know her precise age when she came to the throne. I will plead that Victorian is "not my field" -I'm Tudor!

I don't really have a speicfic area in history like you two as I love all history, espeically if it's about conquests, wars and weapons and such like.

She's an old bird that's for sure...
(Queen Vicky was a young girl when she came to the throne...around 19 I think.)
I feel she's just lucky in the way of good health. A lot of women in their 40's- 50's have to have things like Hysterectomies or other change of life health problems that in some cases prove fatal without medical treatment.
She'd have a lot to tell about the living in the times if her memory is intact!

I'd have to say I'm more interested in battles too.
Man 130 years old. I can't even imagine.

I am now just waiting to see if she regenerates like Doctor Who or picks up a sword and fight evil immortals as in Highlander or something like that.

130 years is amazing to think about. I don't think it is possible to take anything for granted if you live that long as everything will re-invent itself, possibly more then once, in your life time.
I have an Aunt who is 97 and still very clear headed (she even lived alone in Manhattan until last Fall). She talks about having chickens and a lamb in her backyard in Brooklyn when she was a little girl and has great stories about how she go her first job during the Depression.
But as Veritas pointed out - it is sad as she has outlived all of her friends and all of her contemporaries in the family.
