The tallest man on the cliff in the valley is said to be the tallest man in the world, sharing his height and weight at 10.09 feet and 248 kg, respectively. Followers asked us to comment on the authenticity of the photo.

Looking at the person in the photo that went viral on the internet it seemed as if Photoshop had done it. Because there is a difference between height and head. Also, the man, who is 10.09 feet tall and weighs 248 kg, did not seem to be able to stand on such a small rock. However, it could not be confirmed. Also, no news related to Anwar Sadiq was available.

However, when searching to find out who is the tallest man in the world, we explored the Guinness Book of World Records site. Robert Watlow of the United States, who died in 1940, holds the record for being the tallest man in the world. He was 8 feet 11 inches tall when he was last measured a month before he died. Robert Watlow died at the age of 22.

Also, the Guinness World Record holder for the tallest man alive today is Sultan Goshen of Turkey. His height is 8 feet 2.8 inches.
