Everyone knows the fairy tale “Pinocchio”. Main character- a mischievous boy who sticks his a long nose in all matters, getting into a lot of troubles along the way. And his nose is truly amazing! Another fairy-tale character who distinguished himself by the size of his “sniffing apparatus” is Dwarf Nose. An evil witch bewitched him, disfiguring his face with a terrible huge nose.
But in real life There are also “sniffers”. And the most a big nose in the world belongs not to the perfumer or taster, but to an ordinary person. His story and a few more interesting facts Read more about this topic below.
The biggest nose in the world
Who has grown such a nose that it has no equal on the whole Earth? This is a 60-year-old Turkish man named Mehmet Ozyurek. It was first included in the Guinness Book of Records in 2007. Then the length of his nose was 83 mm. Just 4 years later, Mehmet set a new record.
According to official data from the Guinness Book of Records in 2011, the largest nose in the world measured 88 mm! This means that the nose of the famous Turk continues to grow and increases by about 1 mm per year. But Ozyurek is not at all happy about this. He owes his abnormally large organ to a rare disease called rhinophyma. The reasons for it have not yet been established. It mainly affects men over 40 years of age. No cure has been found for it either. Rhinophyma develops very slowly, changing the appearance of a person. First, the skin on the nose becomes bumpy and red, then the bumps merge, turning the nose into a shapeless mass. The skin grows so much that it closes the nostrils and makes it difficult to breathe. It is impossible to remove this defect without surgical intervention. Moreover, after the operation the disease does not stop, but continues to progress.
Unofficial record holders
In the middle of the last century, in the Swiss town of Langenbruck, the mayor of the city and friends gathered in a pub for a glass of beer. The mayor began to make fun of his friends about the size of their “schnobels,” but they did not remain in debt and, in turn, made fun of the mayor’s big nose. That’s how the idea of a competition was born among friends over jokes and jokes to determine the largest nose in the world.
Today such a competition is held every five years in the same Swiss commune of Langenbruck. Men and women whose noses have not undergone rhinoplasty or any other surgical intervention are allowed to participate. During measurements, the competitor must stand calmly, without grimacing or grimacing, so as not to distort the measurements. Those who violate this rule will be disqualified.
It is known that the most significant result belonged to a participant whose nose measured 127 mm! It is not included in the Guinness Book of Records, since the competition in Switzerland is considered amateur and its data is not officially registered.
In the capital of Pakistan, Islamabad, there lives a certain Faizan Agha, whose nose length has already reached 129 mm. It turns out that the Pakistani has the largest nose in the world. A photo of this man, however, is nowhere to be found because he flatly refuses to participate in any competitions and does not want to respond to repeated invitations. Journalists managed to talk with Faizan's relatives. They explained that he was not at all happy about such a nose and dreamed of getting rid of it.
Another Turk, Mehmet Gul, according to unofficial data, has a nose 13 cm (130 mm) long. The reason for such a huge “smelling organ” is the same unfortunate disease rhinophyma. Mehmet, like Fayzan, categorically refuses all invitations to participate in the long-nosed competition.
Average statistics
For many, the largest nose in the world is associated with Georgians: an aerodrome cap and an impressively sized nose with a serious hump. But according to statistics, horsemen do not fall into the ranking of “nosed people” at all, because the longest-nosed ones are Kurds, their length is “ breathing apparatus» on average 58 millimeters. The Armenians are in second place of honor - 57 millimeters. In third place are the Turks with a “sniffing organ” length of 55 mm.
Interestingly, women often project the size of their nose in direct proportion to the size of their male penis. However, scientists have determined that no connection exists in this case.
Historical character
And who in history was recorded to have the largest nose in the world? From a person who lived in the 18th century. He was a German, a nobleman by birth. This is Gustav von Albach. He had a simply stunning nose that was 19.05 cm long! But not only did he not feel complex about his ugliness, but he also enjoyed participating in masquerades and circus performances, where he amused those around him, especially children, with his huge nose, humorously ridiculing his defect.
The figure of Gustav von Albach has been reproduced and is kept in the world famous Tussauds Museum.
Just what kind interesting features physiologists cannot be interested in the inhabitants of the planet of past and modern times. Today we will talk about noses, namely the largest organs of smell that have ever attracted the attention of others. Not only men or only women have huge and long noses; they can “emphasize” the appearance of representatives of both sexes. Pay attention to the selection of the following facts, and you will understand everything yourself.
Record-breaking nations
Surely everyone has seen in various printed sources caricatures of Georgians, who are usually depicted with majestic noses. Despite this, by no means the citizens of this amazing country are record holders in terms of big noses. In the Middle Ages, people did not have reliable knowledge about human anatomy, then there were only assumptions.
Many Caucasian, Asian and European peoples at that time, the size of the nose and a person’s sexual strength were considered two interrelated concepts. The larger a man's nose, the longer his masculine pride was. This is what ancient people thought, and it turns out that there is some truth in this statement, since modern scientists have still not been able to refute it. As a result, loving Caucasians never stop taking pride in their noses.
In the ranking of nations with the biggest noses, Georgians occupy only third place. First place goes to the Kurds, whose average nose length is 58 mm. Further, with a lag of one millimeter, the Armenians are in second place.
The owner of the longest nose
As is already known, the concentration of large noses in the world is highest at the European-Asian junction. But despite this, the competition to determine the most powerful nose is not taking place here, but in Switzerland. Every five years, the city of Legenbruck brings together the biggest nosed people from all over the world. Participants with unnatural noses, that is, those who tried to increase their external nose in a piecemeal way respiratory organ, will be immediately disqualified. It turns out that there are people who are even ready to go under the knife to win this competition.
Today, the length of the most impressive nose is 127 mm. Just imagine such a sight! But, unfortunately, this result was not recorded in the Book of Records, due to the absence of a Guinness Prize expert at the championship. Perhaps next time this will happen, but for now the pedestal of the most big-nosed people is headed by Turkish citizen Mehmet Ozyurek.
He had to achieve universal recognition for many years; he set the first record in 2007, and 4 years later he broke it. In 2011, the length of his nose was 88 mm. Considering that the nose continues to grow, by about 1 mm. per year, now its length is about 92 mm. As it turns out, Mehmet's nose is not growing from good health, but quite the opposite, a rare disease called rhinophyma led to this. The disease is accompanied by a constantly progressive growth of the skin on the nose; it increases in length and breadth, acquiring an unpleasant lumpy, bright red hue.
A big nose. What to do if a woman has a big nose?
At the early stage of development of the disease, which is very difficult to determine, the nose remains practically unchanged. But then it quickly takes on formlessness and becomes disgusting. Along with the constantly growing skin, there is an expansion of blood vessels and a network of sebaceous glands. The skin tissue hanging from below increasingly closes the nostrils and interferes with normal breathing. The only way to get rid of these troubles is surgical intervention. Rhinophyma affects mainly representatives of the stronger sex, after the age of 40 years.
Mehmet Gul is another Turkish record holder, but he has no plans to show off his wealth. Its nose is 129 mm long, which is a full 30 mm longer. more than its competitor. The reason for such huge size became a tumor that grew on the face of an 81-year-old man in old age. In his youth, he was the same as all ordinary people.
Women with the longest nose
The Guinness Book of Records does not yet contain a record of the woman with the longest nose, which is quite expected, because rhinophyma is not common weaker sex. So there is practically no point in competing with men in this regard. In the same Switzerland, at the last World Championships there was a woman with a nose 101.6 mm long, but her true name could not be preserved.
The largest "Slavic nose"
In the Slavic expanses there is no official owner of the largest nose yet. Therefore, anyone can become a contender for the title of the most long-nosed Slav. The main requirement is that the length of the nose from the bridge of the nose to the tip should be at least seventy millimeters. If your “weapon” is like this, then you can very well put this record in your name. Russian Ksenia Gluntsova is a teacher at kindergarten from Cheboksary, according to unofficial data, the most nosed in the country. She is not at all proud of this fact, since, as she believes, her nose has crossed out her right to a normal life.
The biggest nose in history
According to historical information, the most big nose possessed by Thomas Weathers, a resident of Britain. The length of his nose was almost twenty centimeters. As you can see, it is unlikely that Thomas’s modern potential competitors will be able to repeat his record. The hero worked in the circus all his life and earned money with his nose. Visitors have always been delighted with this “miracle of nature.”
Gustav von Albach is another winner huge nose. He lived in Bremen, Germany, in the eighteenth century. Much later, the popular cartoon “Dwarf Nose” was created based on his prototype. Gustav never felt any discomfort about his 17-centimeter nose, unlike many other record holders. He was always positive, cheerful, knew how to make the audience laugh, and never despaired over any trifles. Surely this attitude allowed him to live a long and happy life.
