Ah, the wonderful prevailing argument sweeping the internet the last few years: “that looks like something else, so it must be that. Let’s disregard sources and science. Everything must be what it looks like.”
People lie about their age all the time. There’s been many elderly people with badly documented births who fudged the numbers and added a decade or five to their age.
Unless there’s good documentation, be skeptical of extreme longevity claims.

Critical thinking! No! It doesn’t look ‘old’ so it can’t be!
