The biggest nose in the world: who is its lucky owner?

The nose is a very important organ of the human body. It is thanks to him that we are able to breathe, catch and distinguish all kinds of smells. In addition, it is one of the most important components of the image - the nose is able to radically change the overall impression of a person's appearance.

That is why almost all young people are extremely concerned about its size and shape, and many are very unhappy with these parameters. Someone's own nose seems too small, and someone - just huge; To someone it will seem too snub-nosed, and someone will complain that his nose is crooked ... But what is especially noteworthy is that a person who in fact has the biggest nose in the world does not experience any complexes about this. The same can be said about his "colleagues in misfortune" from the distant past: no one was ashamed of his physiology, on the contrary, it was made worthy and the subject of benevolent jokes and funny stories.

The biggest nose in the world: the photos will not leave you indifferent

When mentioning long noses, most people, of course, remember Pinocchio (or Pinocchio). According to many, this person possessed the most remarkable olfactory organ from all possible (for that he is a fairy-tale hero!), And therefore to surpass him in this field is not destined to anyone. A grand error! In a far-away for the modern man of the eighteenth century there lived a German gentleman-a nobleman by blood-and his name was Gustav von Albach. His fiefdom was the city of Bremen. He had a really very big nose, a photo of which to this day amaze people all over the world.

By the way, Gustav was never ashamed of this particular feature. On the contrary, he was proud of her. Due to the fact that he had the biggest nose in the world, he did not need mask for masquerades, and the children genuinely loved him for his soft humor and a lot of funny jokes and fictional stories. And adult comrades admired Gustav for his mildness and his ability to laugh at himself.

And for today the biggest nose in the world is a Turkish citizen named Mehmed Oziurek. True, to the legendary von Albach it is far away - his nose reaches only 88 millimeters in length. Another thing is that it is constantly growing and with time can increase by several centimeters. Now Mehmed is just over sixty years old, so he has a chance to beat his own record!

Very interesting and the reason for Mr. Oziurek's entry into the Guinness Book of Records. It turns out that the size of his nose is due to one extremely rare disease - rhinophyma. With it, the dermal part of the olfactory organ constantly increases.

By the way, according to some (though still untested) data, Mehmed may soon say goodbye to his title: the biggest nose in the world, it turns out, belongs not to him, but to a Pakistani named Faizan Agha. He overtakes Oziurek by almost four centimeters!

Germany is not the first decade of its dreams to get into the Book of Records and every five years it organizes a special competition in which all owners of excessively large noses can take part. Not so long ago, he was defeated by a man and a woman, the length of the olfactory organs of which were respectively 127 and 102 millimeters.
