The tallest man and the world's shortest female version of Guinness World Records meets in Egypt for an extraordinary photo shoot.
Sultan Kosen, of Turkey, holds the world record with a height of 246.5 centimeters, while Jyoti Amge of India is the world's shortest woman with a height of only 62.8 centimeters.
The difference between them is astonishing as in one photo in front of the famous Pyramid of Giza in Egypt on Friday, January 26, 2018, Amge's height is no more than Kosen calf.
Kosen and Amge who won their respective records in 2011 look to get rid of their differences while posing side by side with big smiles on their faces.
Kosen, 35, was the first person measured by Guinness World Records for more than 20 years - and only 10 people in the history of body size seem or more.
As reported by Mirrror on January 27, 2018, Kosen also holds the record for the biggest hand.
Speaking at the time his record was announced, he said: "I never imagined it would be in this book, I dreamed it, but it was still a big surprise."
Its looming height is caused by a condition called pituitary glandism - a result of excessive growth hormone production.
Amge earned the title at the age of 18 and weighed only about 5 kilograms. He has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia and will not grow as high as anything. As a result all his clothes have to be made himself, just like the plates and other supporting equipment.
The world record holder for the height measure was invited by the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Board to visit Cairo's most famous sites to help boost tourism in the country.
