00:00Today we are back in Cairo, Egypt.
00:16Whenever you visit this country, you will never get bored.
00:20And people's stories will never end.
00:25But today we are visiting a bit different town,
00:29one hour and a half from Cairo,
00:31that I always heard of it in Egyptian movies.
00:39It is called Asharkia.
00:46Huda and Muhammad, where people from there are called Sharkawi or Sharkawiya.
00:52Then after an hour and a half drive, we arrived at a family house.
00:56So different, two of the tallest people in the world.
01:00My name is Muhammad Shahat Abdul Jawad from Asharkia.
01:03But they are a little forgotten.
01:04I am 2.47 meters.
01:06With very strange sizes and Guinness records does not recognize them yet.
01:10Let's get to know more about them.
01:13Look, there is no space and I am still growing.
01:19And when I go here, I can't.
01:22You can't stand there?
01:23Yes, I can't.
01:25If I stand here, it gonna hurt me in my head, below the fan.
01:30Here it is.
01:31You mean it does hurt you suddenly?
01:33Yeah.
01:34When I was 14, 15 years old, I was normal.
01:37I can drive the car normally and live my life normally.
01:40I work and do everything normally.
01:43All of a sudden, I found myself like this.
01:46Suddenly, my leg started to grow up and it's still growing up more.
01:50And getting taller and my leg getting bigger and my clothes are expensive just made for me.
01:54He's getting to the roof and the fan.
01:57He can't crank up the fan because of the...
01:59I have a carton fan.
02:01Because the ceiling fan could hurt me.
02:04When I was sleeping like this...
02:06Once you stood up?
02:07Yes, suddenly.
02:08When I stood up, it hurt me.
02:11If you lay down, you get the whole floor?
02:13Yes.
02:14So when you get up, you get hurt?
02:15Yes, yes.
02:16This is your mom?
02:17Yes.
02:18Hello.
02:19Welcome.
02:20They get you tired, no?
02:21Yeah, a little bit.
02:22A little bit.
02:23Their father died 24 years ago.
02:26And you're alone with them?
02:27Yes, exactly.
02:28We were tired working with my kid and his father got sick and stayed at home with us too.
02:35How old is he?
02:36Mohammed?
02:37Yeah.
02:38I'm 34 years old.
02:39And how tall is your sister?
02:41She's 2.40 meters.
02:43So you never tried to work before?
02:45No, I didn't.
02:46No one accepted to hire me.
02:48If there was someone who can take care of me, I may play basketball for example.
02:52I have no income source at all.
02:55I wish I had an income source, get hired or buy something that could help me make my living.
03:00But unfortunately…
03:01Did you finish your studies?
03:02I studied at Al-Azhar.
03:03He's 2.47 meters tall and still getting taller.
03:07We could find him way taller after 2 years.
03:10And he's very close to the tallest person in the world, Sultan 2.51 meters that we saw previously in Turkey.
03:17Do you know Sultan the tallest person in the world?
03:19He's 3 centimeters taller.
03:20He's 3 centimeters taller.
03:213 centimeters?
03:22Sultan the Kurd who lives in Turkey.
03:25I don't use a cane to walk.
03:27I think you should be number 3 or 2 in the world.
03:31He's 3 centimeters taller.
03:32We need to show this video to Guinness records.
03:34They have to know him.
03:35See, my leg is still getting bigger.
03:38Still getting bigger.
03:40My hand also, but my hand was normal and it's still getting bigger.
03:45It means your whole body is getting bigger.
03:47Yes, it's swelling.
03:48My name is Huda Shahata and I'm 2.40 meters.
03:51And I'm the sister of Muhammad.
03:53The first time was at school time or at the university?
03:56Since the age of 12.
03:57At 12 years old.
03:58So from the age of 12.
04:00We were the tallest people at school.
04:04Because of the increase in amount of the hormones, he gets tired very quickly.
04:09Yeah.
04:10His body doesn't bear when he moves too much.
04:13Yes.
04:14But you need someone to take care of you.
04:16There's nobody.
04:17Nobody.
04:18Yeah, Sultan was getting a little help from Guinness records and people around him.
04:21Can you put your hand on mine?
04:24Look.
04:25Look.
04:26See the difference?
04:28This one could be the biggest hand in Egypt.
04:31Your hand is so different than mine.
04:43Of course, he's not able to get in the car.
04:48Look.
04:49See his head?
04:50We said why not giving them a small gift.
04:51We decided to buy him a calf.
04:52A calf for them to raise.
04:53If you get angry, what do you do?
04:54I go to a room and stay alone.
04:55You don't show your anger?
04:56No.
04:57No.
04:58No.
04:59No.
05:00No.
05:01I stay alone in a closed room.
05:02I go inside and…
05:03And close the room?
05:04And close the room.
05:05And close the room.
05:06When he gets angry, he closes the room on himself so that his anger doesn't show.
05:09Muhammad and Huda, if they were on Instagram, they'll get famous quickly.
05:12Why aren't we a warrior?
05:13No.
05:14No.
05:15No.
05:16No.
05:17No.
05:18No.
05:19No.
05:20No.
05:21No.
05:22No.
05:23No.
05:24No.
05:25No.
05:26No.
05:27No.
05:28No.
05:29No.
05:30No.
05:31No.
05:32No.
05:33No.
05:34No.
05:35No.
05:36No.
05:37No.
05:38No.
05:39No.
05:40No.
05:41No.
05:42No.
05:43No.
05:44No.
05:45No.
05:46No.
05:47No.
05:48No.
05:49No.
05:50No.
05:51No.
05:52No.
05:53No.
05:54No.
05:55No.
05:56No.
05:57No.
05:58No.
05:59No.
06:00No.
06:01No.
06:02No.
06:03No.
06:04No.
06:05No.
06:06And whatever you can do for them, please do it.
06:09They were normally born.
06:11But after 12 years of age, they started growing this way.
06:15She hated school, but he carried on.
06:17God bless you. God bless you.
06:19God bless you. You're the goodness in this world.
06:22We got out with Muhammad in a Sharia to the local market in the middle of this area.
06:27And we're going back to his home.
06:30Let's go.
06:31Now, we're trying to do something very, very small.
06:36Just to make him happy.
06:38Anything simple that could make the difference.
06:41A surprise to make him happy.
06:43We're about to surprise him.
06:45I hope they're good.
06:47Did you raise them by Sunnah?
06:53Dutch.
06:55The calf is Dutch.
06:56So he raises it and it can give birth when it's older, right?
06:59Yes, of course.
07:00Thank you so much.
07:02Let me take it for you. You want me to take it?
07:04Thank you. I'll take it.
07:06Does it walk with me or...
07:07Okay, let's go.
07:13Congrats for the new calf.
07:14Is it good?
07:15Yes.
07:17Does it get through?
07:18Yeah.
07:21Muhammad.
07:21We brought it for you.
07:29Are you happy?
07:31This is just a simple thing.
07:33God bless you.
07:34What are you going to call her?
07:36Name it?
07:36Yeah.
07:40No name for her?
07:41I don't think so.
07:42It's beautiful.
07:47Thank you very much.
07:49This was the story of Muhammad and Huda.
07:55Let's share this video to reach the Guinness Book of Records so they know about them.
08:00Let's get them into the Guinness Book of Records.
08:03I'll put their number in the description for anyone who can help them.
08:06A big thanks to Karim, Islam and Ahmad Madawi who were with me in the video.
08:11Thank you, people of Egypt.
08:12Hope to see you soon.
