Second-tallest person in recorded history. Ankylosis left him unable to stand from the age of 13, so his height was measured lying down. The tallest person of African descent on record.
People of giant stature measured under modern conditions, with a named cause where one is known. This is the only class on the page where the height itself is verified.
Record
Stature is recorded as the source states it, in that source’s own units. It is not a verified measurement unless this record sits in the Modern documented record class.
