Top 10 People Who Claim To be Immortal
the oldest human being to ever live was Jeanne Calment she was born in 1875 and died in 1997 at the age of 122 everyone agrees this is the longest a human being has ever existed for well not everyone some people say there are others much older than that some people say there are humans who have become immortal some people even say that they themselves are immortal do you believe them let's find out my name is Danny Burke and this is the top ten people claimed to be immortal starting off at number 10 now we have Alex you he is a 46 year old man who claims to be immortal how has he achieved that for the use of his immortality rings he invented these small magnetic rings to be worn on people's fingers and toes to ensure that people's cells always heal properly and never die apparently if the cells constantly regenerate then the person never dies he says he has modernized ancient Chinese medicine to make immortality accessible for everyone you can actually buy these rings on Amazon right now although I don't recommend it they come in either black or white or the black one costs more because it's stronger apparently listen I don't know how it all works I'm just a mere mortal next up at number nine we have a Leonard Jones he was an American politician born in 1797 who claimed to be immortal more interestingly though he claimed that anyone else to be immortal you just need the right amount of fasting and praying he found a preacher that believed the same as him and together they found that the live forever faith and tried to recruit people to found a city of immortals while they were recruiting the preacher died apparently Leonard Jones was very much embarrassed when he had to speak at the funeral of his immortal partner he then switched to politics and tried to run for US terrifying kidnappings president many times with his main policy being you know his immortality suddenly he lost a lot of support when he died aged 71 and people say you can't trust politicians all right right now we have the wandering Jewish man in medieval Europe there was a story of a Jewish man who was there at the crucifixion of Jesus as he saw Jesus carrying the cross the man taught at him and told him to hurry up Jesus then turned to him and cursed him to walk the earth until he returned in the second coming his name was AHA Cirrus and countless people said they saw him wandering the earth hundreds of years later sometimes he was old sometimes young or even change between the two others say it's simply a story of symbolism for the Jewish Diaspora that has moved across the earth over the past millennia what do you guys think moving on to number seven now we have the immortal monk in 1927 the leader of a group of Russian Buddhist monks gathered his followers to announce his own death his name was dashi doors oh it eagle off he predicted that Stalin Russia's leader would persecute them and he warned them to flee then he said he would return in 75 years and in a deep meditation he passed away then many years later his body was exhumed the monks were amazed to find his body perfectly preserved his limbs were flexible and a skin was elastic in 2002 his body was put on display in the temple it was 75 years on and he had apparently returned the bullets believe that he remains in a deep meditative state on the edge of life and death makes the Panama six now we have Nicolas Flamel you might recognize this guy's name from Harry Potter as the immortal wizard who created the Philosopher's Stone and was a good friend of Dumbledore's well that fiction is based on the real Nicolas Flamel he was a French scribe born in 1340 and records show that he died in 1418 however hundreds of years later in the 1700s story started to emerge that he was still alive people said he was an alchemist who had discovered the real Philosopher's Stone and achieved immortality there are people who believe framel faked his own death and went into hiding to protect this powerful artifact from getting into the wrong hands and that he's still out there today coming up number five now we have Merlin Merlin was said to be the legendary wizard figure at the court of King Arthur King Arthur himself is a figure that is steeped in both history and legend it's often difficult to untwine the two Merlin was said to be half human half demon his demonic side was where he inherited his incredible powers and abilities but his human side put them to work for good one of these inherited powers was immortality believers and his existence say that you can find sightings of Merlin throughout British history many hundreds of years after his time with King Arthur others say this is just retellings of the same story the only way to find the truth is to keep picking apart the fact from the fiction Athen of a four-spot now we have the three Nephites according to Mormons Jesus visited what is now America after his resurrection he chose twelve apostles and real horror stories when his time came to leave three of them asked to stay behind forever to help humanity and watch over them Jesus was said to have granted this and Mormons believe the three Nephites still walk among us today as proof of this they point to stories of kind strangers helping people throughout history before disappearing without a trace next up at number three now we have Achilles I'm sure you've all heard of the phrase Achilles heel this is the guy it comes from he was said to be a legendary Greek hero of the Trojan War the story goes that when he was a baby he was dipped into the river Styx the river that separates Earth from the underworld this made him invulnerable to everything even death itself effectively making him immortal except for one tiny thing they held him in the river by his ankle meaning that his ankle was totally vulnerable he was killed by a poison arrow to the ankle in a battle thus bringing his immortality to a swift end Achilles heel really was his Achilles heel next up at number two now we have the count of st. Germain he was a European nobleman who was born in 1691 and was known for his works and science the arts and philosophy he was said to have attained immortality after drinking an elixir which he made through his mastery of alchemy he traveled European courts where Nobles were astonished to see he had not aged a single day in the 50 years since they last saw him many people said that he could live forever even himself having confessed on at least one occasion to be 300 years old using the secrets of universal medicine records show he died in 1784 at the age of 93 but there have been countless stories of his appearance since then even as recently as the 1970s all right finally another one now we have Quincy High he was a famous Chinese emperor whose dynasty lasted 400 years some of the most famous works under his rule include the Terracotta Army and parts of the Great Wall of China he was said to be so loved by his people for they thought of him as an immortal this was a prophecy Quinn she was more than happy to fulfill and he became obsessed with seeking immortality on two occasions he sent hundreds of people out into the world to find the legendary elixir of life both times were a failure in the end he died of mercury poisoning after he ate too many mercury pills given to him by his doctors to try and make him mortal oh dear well guys I'm not sure how I feel about some of those stories but you know there's no smoke without fire also if there are immortal people out there maybe staying hidden it's one of the reasons they live so long.
