Although there is no conclusive evidence to verify his exact age, The Indonesian Government reportedly recognized him as one of the oldest individuals based on an issued ID card. Mbah Gotho's recollection of his birth date was uncertain, but he vividly remembered the construction of a sugar factory in 1890. In 2010, local authorities registered him as being over 140 years old, and in 2014, he was issued an ID card with a recorded birth date of 1870. It is worth noting that if Gotho’s reported age was true, he would have been the [[Oldest people|oldest person]] ever recorded, surpassing the final age of [[Jeanne Calment]] of [[France]], who lived to be 122 years and 164 days old, making her the world’s oldest woman ever recorded, surpassing the final age of [[Jiroemon Kimura]] of [[Japan]], the first recorded person and man to reach the age of 115, which would’ve been before [[Augusta Holtz]] of [[Germany]] and [[Christian Mortensen]] of [[Denmark]] both turned 115, as well as the last recorded living man born in the [[19th century]], following the death of Kimura, as well as being the last living person born in [[1800s (century)|1800s,]]<nowiki/>following the death of [[Emma Morano]] of [[Italy]], and one of three remaining people born during the 19th century at the time of his death, alongside [[Violet Brown]] of [[Jamaica]] and [[Nabi Tajima]] of Japan. == Claim == In May
