Ancient history

Who was the oldest man who ever lived on this earth?

There is no definitive answer to this question as there is no universally accepted method for verifying the ages of people who lived many centuries ago. Some sources claim that Methuselah, a figure from the Bible, lived for the longest and is said to have lived 969 years. However, the veracity of this age cannot be scientifically confirmed due to various historical and chronological complexities associated with biblical texts.
