At a young age, she witnessed the opening of the Eiffel Tower, and she even met Vincent Van Gogh at her father’s shop in Arles, and she sold colored pencils to him as well. When she died, we had the internet
She said she saw the Eiffel tower being built during her honeymoon, but it had been completed long before. Her father was a ship builder, not a shop owner. The shop belonged to her husband but her story of meeting van Gogh there was full of inconsistencies. In 1933 her signature suddenly changed as seen in archived documents. The errors in her stories make more sense if she switched identities with her daughter at that time.
Some of Ms Calment's milestones: -Oldest person ever since May 12, 1990 -Oldest european ever (non-emigrant) since September 18, 1989 -Oldest french person ever since July 19, 1987
She lived an extraordinary life and even met people like Van Gogh. You could also do later Louis XV's life through time. His reign was crucial and indirectly developed the main ideas for the later French Revolution.
Another crazy thing is that both her daughter and grandson lived until the age of 36 (I know Frederic's death was a fatal accident), and that she had already lived 12 years before the Eiffel Tower started construction. By 1997, the world had been through the Titanic sinking, 2 World Wars, the first space ventures and the first moon landing, many films and musicals (including Mary Poppins, my favourite!) and the first Harry Potter book had already been published (just)! Absolutely incredible, so nearly made it to the Titanic premiere and the turn of the millenium. What was a shame is that she didn't even have direct great grandchildren. FASCINATING, I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT, JAMES!
Longevity is always interesting. I wonder what changes I will see in my lifetime. Whats amazing is Calments record has yet to be broken all these years later!
Similarly to Abraham Lincoln's great-great grandson. His last living descendant died in 1985, but his wife lived until 2004. According to ancestry, which says she was born in 1904, that would have made her 99 or 100 years old. But, ultimately it meant that Lincoln's family tree ended with her (if you include marriages.)
Are you planning on doing Henry VII by any chance since he does have technically 2 pictures you could use one as a child and the other is battle of Bosworth but I would be fine if you used photos of places he was at and maybe use more than one picture for 1485
Could u remake ur 'worlds oldest people' video from last year but as a top ten in the style of ur world leader videos? I think it'd work very well as they all had overlapping lives.
Yeah i agree with the theory that Jeanne Calment died in 1934 and her daughter stole her identity because of some facts i researched like how she would tell stories about the maid taking her to school ever though she was a decade younger than her and also how she would “accidentally” refer Fernand as “my father” before “correcting” herself to “my husband” and even with the fact that in 1994 the city of arles(her hometown incase you didn’t know)inquired about Calments personal documents for some reason only to find out that she ordered someone to burn them.

Fun Fact: She’s the oldest certified person but there could actually be people older than her age at death that still didn’t get certified.
Yes! You're right.

Nice ! I hope to see : Jeanne calment, a life through time (1875-1997) !
Extraordinary life Jeanne Calment had!
Imagine being 61 and it being only halfway into your life.
That's an old midlife crisis!
Her granddaughter-in-law died in 2020 in her late 90s
And ended the family tree even if she was not part of it

彼女の子と孫「いいなあお母さん(おばあちゃん)122才まで生きて。私たちなんか36しか生きられななかったよ。というかわけて欲しかったなあ.......」
You should do Bicentennial man a cast through time I think that movie might of inspired her to make this movie
Bicentennial Man inspired Jeanne Calment to become a film director? 🤔 🎥
Jeanne calment looks a bit creepy when she's old in that picture
I think I'd look creepy too if I was as old as Yoda@@tarryteeth
Wow that's cool
make a life through time of president john tyler cause he also got many kids as george iii
Could you imagine being in your 90s and having your mom still around?
Jeanne calmant's daughter passed away at 36

Can you please doing at Lucile randon for pass away in last year at 17 January 2023 for descendants only by family time now. Take the time!
Lucile Randon did not have any descendants as far as I'm aware - wasn't she a nun after 1944?

RIP Jeanne
Three generation ship carpenter that’s interesting

Thats a good idea. Perhaps I could do the top 20 or something?
@@JamesFoxTimeTravelArtist Yeh u could do 20, just the further u go down the list the harder it'll probably be to get good usable images
U would definitely get a better variety of ppl in the top 20 tho
That's a cool video but I wouldn't make it to over 100 years I would be dead
I still think this has potential.
10:56 what about the spouse
I'm surprised that she lived for 122 years
👍
Wtf her daughter and his Grandson died at 36 💀
daughter home deaths son dead
You are wrong, Jeanne died in 1934, her daughter Yvonne died in 1997 !! It the truth
