7 tallest recorded humans of all time

Bradley Marango broke the internet claiming to be the ‘Tallest man in Kenya’ standing at 8 feet with a shoe size 47/48. His physic astonished many with earning him the nickname “Goliath Gen Z,”

Shortly afterwards another man from Bungoma named Isaac Wekesa came forth highlighting he was taller than Bradley standing at  8.4ft tall, with a shoe size 52. These two have proved to be taller than the average man with their height seeming almost mythical.

Which led me to wonder how they’d fair across the world in the Guinness World Book of records.

Throughout history, the Guinness World Records has documented cases of the tallest people alive. Both men and women from various corners of the globe have earned a spot in this record, as they stunned the world with their towering height. 

Here’s a look at some of the figures who have made their mark as the tallest people in the world. Take a look at how they compare to our two Kenyan “giants”
