@germanysjim If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. And oh yeah.... These are Ethiopians. They don't do that. Read up their history.... Oh wait, I forgot. YOU WON'T cause you're just that close-minded. Oops!
Why do´`t you work hard and help your own people rather than talking and writing such rediculious things? I myself have gone to Mekelle to see this man and I mate the Monk in 2008 and he was an interesting person at that time very healthy. I was told by people who helped him that the monk was at that time about 120 years old. Whether it is true or not only God knows. There are people who believe that the Monk was born when Emperor Yohannes lived.
One minute you say,,, "Leaders in the past have done bad things. let us see the future with optimistic views. We are all victims of the past history".
The next minute you say,,,
"Eritreans even believe they are not Africans. Many of them say that they belong to the Arab world and others believe to be part of Europeans and that is because they speak a broken Italian language".
Living in Germany must be making you hate yourself?
who the heck would want to live to 150 years old? i dont want to be all cripple and shit. and have to shit in a diaper. and can barely walk. the only people who would love to live that long is the wrong doers. because they are too scared to die. there afraid of there bad deeds
@budhunter09 i would rather die with my dignity then live in that condition. i would rather run inside a burning bulding with my last breath to save a life then live on my death bed for 20 years. i want to LIVE to the end. not just exist. volunteer firefighter NEW YORK(home of the brave)
i have been there several time to see the monk and blessed and evey thing is said here is totally true. beside still he is alive believe it or not!!!!!
i saw a news program in Jerusalem about 10 years ago, announcing a 130 year old shepard. I also know of a Sudani man who was over 100 with a two wives in their 20s. Live good and clean my brothers and sisters. health is your wealth.
@TheBethelehem Noah was 900 years old when he died, a mountain man, died in 1967 and he didn't know anything about history, he just rememberd when Napolion took Moscow from the russians, he was 178 yars old when he died.
YAH BLESS!!! No disrespect FAM...But if I may... can I ask U what proof do U have that this gentleman monk is 150 yrs of age? I live in the U.S. and so much foolishness cracks off.... so its sometimes hard for me to trust ..Do U have more footage about the gentleman monk? PEACE!!! JUDAH ETHIOPIA
i think wen people ae talked about they are only from more (for lack of better words) well known countries i hav a great great uncle in Laos who is between 120-125
I saw on yahoo news the other day that the oldest man died at 116 years (or around that age). So this gets me confused. I'm not going to doubt this video though. It would be cool to retire at 60 and have 90 more years of peace!
see, the thing is, alot of people go undocumented, mainly because they were never given any papers, my grandmother is atleast 100 years old (i calculated it using the events that happened in her life as reference) but she is unnoticed mainly because she is undocumented, she has lived through both world war I & II
@SuperDieMaxx Well you see there are a lot of those that we dont know about, who live much longer than is documented in the west. I russia for instance there are many old priests in the mountains and one lady was 132 who by the age pf 120 still kept livestock.
this is common in Ethiopia and other parts of the world. i have met monks that were well over a 100! some look healthy and others look like they are already dead! when i come across such monks i dont want to know how they are still alive, i ask them to bless me! pray for me or with me!
There are documented cases of people from all walks of life all over the planet that live to incredibly old ages.
Is it lifestyle ? Diet ? Living a life devoted to something / someone bigger than ourselves ? A combination of all those factors ? Maybe. But having it in your genetic background counts for a lot too.
people are not seeing the truth people that are christians and attend the church on a weekly sunday basis live longer than the rest of the population this is a known fact the problem is that everyone is not going to church so there dying early because of abuse to themselves apart from not being able to save money and end up in a nursing home or on the pension with only bake beans to feed on if that.
Why do you say 50? God works in meracle ways...Just because Many ppl. in this world dont live til that age, doesnt mean there are Ppl. who are that age. If you know something about this Man, then please share it, If NOT! please Dont!
There are many monks older than this young one in India living in caves in the Himilayas and other places but nice to see some african monks anyways.
The Hare Krishna's had a nice african american guru but he is gone now. We need some new ones if anyone is interested in going back to the spiritual world instead of being reincarnated here on earth.
u gotta choose right cuz not every religion is right....only christians go to heaven ...the good ones of course...guru is from the legion if u did not know
Only those whom Jesus knows go to heaven. ..."and then I will acknowledge to them, that -- I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness." (Matthew 7:23) GOD bless you!
correction: all good and faithful people go to heaven, no matter what religion. as long as they believe in what orthodoxy believes in, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
If you were paying attention to what my original comment, the one that said "Correction: it's all a big fake" then maybe you'd see it was a reply to someone talking about religion. So maybe before you go around acting smart look at the context.
@meneliksolomon "150yr was exaggerated by the locals" lol don't worry, only the fools would think you and these monks are stubbornly saying it. it's rhetoric, and nicely humourous. anyway... 95yrs old, 100 yrs old, 150 yrs old... however old is he, to live that long is a feat, and it's wonderful.
ya some gondere thinks its joke by paying a poor man in mekele to pose as the descendant of Kassa Mercha. If he was the descendant Li.Stifan and seyoum woulnt throw him in a place like tht.
wow..he does not look 150yrs old. me and him got something in common being related to royalty.since emperor fasilades is my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grand father lol.
lol my dad was room mates meles at Addis Abeba university which was Haile Selassie univ. back then. He has one picture with the guy but they weren't close. After the derg came to power, he fought in Ihapa. Who would have thought Zenawi would become president after being a sepratist for so long. Maybe just maybe this old fart is a decendant of Yohanes IV but he's definately not that old. I know of people in Azerbaijan who lived longer but I feel like this guy would be famous if he was 150 yr old.
plz tell em the truth is he really his grand son because im emperor YohannesIV's 7 th great grand daughter i have to know but if this is joke done by u political activists in US im dead serious im going to be mad i have to know is he really a relativeof ours becuase right now really im phoning my motehr and telling her tht theres a relative of ours in mekele thts 150 yrs old but wait john died 120 years ago and hew as about 43 so hes not his son but im confused some body just reply plz
you can't be Arayaslassie yohannes's 6th great grand daughter?...because i know Arayaslassie died in his early 20s, although he was married to Atse Menelik's daughter but after he died of yellow fever...she had to leave Atse Yohannes' palace in Mekelle and went to Shoa..i have read books on Atse Yohannes and i also visited his palace in Mekelle few times...if my memory serves me well...
oh no no, you're completely right im not from araya's side im from mengeshas but i shall not go into further detail because i've said enough already about my heritage
continued....i think Arayaslassie was the only real son of Yohannes who was mentioned in the books...Ras Mengesha was his honorly son...(he was adopted)...so my question are your tracing your roots through Mengesha?
yes i am but araya was his biological son and so was mengesha because Kassa's older sister who was previously married to Wagshum Gobeze( later known as Teklegiorgis) couldn't biologically have a child so he said that Mengesha was her son while growing up but when Araya died at the battle o mettema he declared his second biological son mengesha to become his heir if you want more proof rit a message on my account because i dont want the redt of tigraen peasants to know more
yah he cant becuz im still alive PPL IF THIS IS A JOKE ITS NOT FUNNY because there are some of us that actually belong to this family like for serious
If this monk is really Emperor Yohanne's grandson, it is almost impossible that he could be 150-year-old. Yohannes was born in 1831, therefore, he would be 176 year old now. By the age of 26, it is impossible that Yohannes could have had a grandson. It is biologically impossible. You do the Math.
exactly he had two sons mengesha and gugs(ararya) and no its impossible because i know all my great unlces family side(gugsas) and they never told me about him and i know my great great 4th grand father he only had two kids this one either has to be from my cuzins side because mengesha moved to gojjam
How 'bout you do the math: it is not impossible for him to be a grandfather by age 26. Men can sexually reproduce by age 13. Whether or not it's likely is another matter entirely.
In regards to the holy father in this video: I'm not going to doubt the claim. Who am I to do so? Birth certificates weren't always given out, so, as I said, who am I to say? This doesn't mean, on the other hand, that I flat out believe the claim, either. Ultimately, it doesn't effect my life in the least.
Emperor Yohannes was born in 1837. His son was born in 1867. This fake claims 1856/1857 and a "grandson."
