I saw that yesterday's article on the most expensive things in Guinness had a lot of comments so today I decided to write to you about the 10 greatest people in the world.

Height is good only when it is within normal limits. Did you know that there was a man whose height was as high as 279 centimeters? We have found for you which are, officially, the 10 highest people of all time.

10. Bernard Coyne - height: 249 cm

Coyne was born in 1897 in Iowa. According to some documents, due to his height, he refused to take part in the First World War. He died in 1921 and was buried in his hometown, in a specially made coffin.

9. Vajno Majlajrin - height: 251 cm

Majlairin was born in Finland in 1909. At one point, he was the tallest man in the world, and at the age of 21, he was already 222 cm tall. Then he experienced another period of growth, up to an incredible 251 centimeters. Considering that he served in the Finnish army, he is considered to be the tallest soldier in the world ever. He died in 1963.

8. Edward Boipre - height: 251 cm

Boypre was born in 1881 in Canada, as the oldest of 20 children. He spent almost his entire life acting like a freak in a circus. During the first years of his life, he was of normal height, but then he suddenly started to grow and by the time he was 9 age, he was as tall as 183 cm. There are data that he was also extremely strong, he could lift a load of 400 kilograms. He died in 1904 of tuberculosis.

7. Ela Juing - height: 254 cm

The only woman on this list, Ella Juing, was born in Missouri in 1872 and was known as the "Missouri Giant." From the age of seven, it begins to grow sharply, and its maximum height is the subject of discussion, because it is not precisely stated anywhere, nor is it recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. She also died of tuberculosis in 1913.

6. Al Tomaini - height: 255 cm

Al Tomaini was declared a real giant, because in addition to his extreme height, he weighed as much as 162 kilograms. He spent almost his entire life in the circus. There, in 1936, he met his wife Jenni, who was born without legs and was only 76 cm tall.

5. Leonid Štednik - height: 257 cm

Gorostas from Ukraine was born in 1971 and is a veterinarian by profession. According to the Guinness Book of Records, he is today the tallest living man in the world, however, due to his abnormal height, his health condition is deteriorating and today he has to use crutches in order to be able to walk.

4. John F. Carol - height: 262 cm

John Carroll was born in 1932 in Buffalo, New York, and was known as the "Buffalo Giant." Despite many medical treatments, it grew extremely fast. He passed away in 1969 and at that time his height was not measured, although, as he grew all his life, it is believed that at the time of his death he was very close to a height of an incredible 274 cm.

3. John Rogan - height: 267 cm

This African-American was born in 1868 and grew normally until he was 13 years old. His height was not officially measured until his death in 1905, when he was 267 cm tall. Due to the disease, he weighed only 79 kilograms and is officially the tallest American of African descent in history.

2. Johan Ason - height: 268 cm

Johan was also born in America, and he was only 1 cm taller than his compatriot John Rogan. It is interesting that his mother was also very tall - 218 cm. According to the death certificate from the state hospital Mendokino, at the time of his death, he was exactly 279 centimeters tall. He was buried in Montana.

1. Robert Wadlow - height: 272 cm

Robert Wadlow is officially the tallest man in the world ever, whose height has been verified by evidence. He hails from Alton, Illinois. At the time of his death, he weighed 200 kilograms and showed no signs of cessation of growth. He was born in 1918 as the eldest of five children. He died at the age of 22, and was buried in a concrete coffin because the family feared that his body might be stolen.

Wow that's cool!! Being tall is good but being a mountain tall is very painful to live. You know most of tallest people died because of heart disease ( Heart attack, Heart failure) . Well there's a reason behind that - Blood circulation occured not in a good way.. Heart needs more blood to circulate and mostly blood circulating all over the body which consumed more time than as usual.

Our DNA is so magical. Scientists still trying to finding more information about our DNA. Because of our DNA we become tall or small. World have 7 Billion people that's mean 7 Billion different DNA. So it's normally seeing 7 Billion different humans. Tall, small and all the example the human have is causes of DNA.

Uh, well these are really very tall people! I’m sure they weren’t proud of their height of about 2.5m. They probably had difficult moments in their lives because of their enormous height ...

Robert Wadlow is the tallest man in the world. More than 75 years have passed since his death, but so far no one has surpassed his record numbers.

The birth of an unusual boy In 1918, a child was born to the simple American family of Addy and Harold Wadlow. He was a boy weighing 3,900 grams. His parents named him Robert. To some point, he was no different from other children. Robert Wadlow, whose height was already 92 cm per year and a little over 20 kg in weight, was born and raised in the state of Illinois in the city of Alton. The child had an incurable disease - acromegaly, which contributes to the enlargement of certain parts of the body. That’s why the famous “giant” grew up all his short life. In the Wadlow family, none of its members had a similar disease.

I don't want to be in their skin, it's awful to be this big, because first you can't find shoes and a suit and then a bed, but in the end it's hard to find a girl who would be as tall as you

In honor of Wadlow, a life-size bronze statue was erected in his hometown of Alton. Several books have also been written about the tallest man in the history of mankind.

I didn't know that a person could reach such a height, whether it was a health disorder.
