The tallest person according to the Guinness World Records 2007 is Xi Shun of China (Inner Mongolia) who stands at 7′ 8.95″. Oh, and to avoid confusion, he is the tallest man alive.

In 1663 a French Academy paper by, a noted scholar of the Ancient Near East argued that Adam was 140 feet tall, Noah was 50 feet tall, Abraham was 40 feet tall, and Moses was 25 feet tall! (from The Best Worst & Most Unusual by Felton & Fowler, Gallahad Books, 1994).

140 Feet Tall, what is he a building? HAHAHA
