The tallest man in the world - 35-year-old Turk Sultan Kösen met in Cairo (Egypt) with the smallest woman in the world - 24-year-old Indian Jyoti Amji. Kösen's height is 246.5 centimeters, and Amji's height is 62.8 centimeters. The little Indian woman doesn't even reach Kesen's knees.
The meeting of the two champions took place in the framework of increasing the attractiveness of the tourism industry in Egypt. They were invited by the Egyptian Tourism Development Board to visit the most famous landmarks in Cairo.
When Kösen and Amji, surrounded by their escorts, appeared in Giza on a plateau with pyramids, a crowd of amazed tourists immediately gathered around them. Kösen and Amji were photographed with smiles against the background of the famous Egyptian pyramids, another record holder of the ancient world.
It is difficult for the Sultan to move around because of his enormous height and he uses a stick to help, Amji also finds it difficult to walk and was carried in her arms, letting her go to the ground just for the sake of photographs. At the same time, Amji took a selfie and the smartphone in her tiny hand looked like a real tablet.
Kösen's tall stature is caused by gigantism due to a pituitary tumor. The man lives with his parents and helps on the farm. Because of gigantism, the Sultan grew continuously. In March 2012, doctors managed to normalize the hormonal activity of the pituitary gland and stop the constant growth of the Sultan. On October 28, 2013, the giant married Merv Dibo, who barely reaches his elbow.
