Antisa Khvichava, 132, who died last week, may not have been the oldest woman in the world

Antisa Khvichava, a 132-year-old woman, died this week. She had documents that said she was born in 1880 and lived in Georgia. But there have been claims that her papers couldn’t be authenticated because her original birth certificate was lost and these were replacements. The Guiness Book recognises someone else as the oldest woman in the world. But Antisa could have been the few remaining human links to the 1800s.
