The tallest man, Sultan Kosen and world's shortest woman, Jyoti Amge
The world's tallest man has met up with the shortest woman at
Egypt's pyramids in a bid to boost the country's struggling tourism
industry, according to an itv report.
The tallest man identified as Sultan Kosen is 35-year-old from
Turkey and stands 246.5cm (8ft 1in) tall. He met with Jyoti Amge from
India, who is just 62.8cm (2ft 06in) tall.
The pair came together in front of the historic site of Giza
Pyramids in Cairo last Friday, striking poses for awe-struck tourists.
Both were invited by the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Board to visit
Cairo's most famous sites.
Mr Kosen's extreme height is due to a condition known as pituitary
gigantism, where the brain produces abnormally large amounts of growth
hormone.
Ms Jyoti, from Nagpur, has a form of drawfism called
achondroplasia. She is an actress who has appeared in the TV show
American Horror Story and Bollywood films.
