Wat is the record for the oldest person ever?
Jeanne Louise Calment (IPA: [ʒan lwiz kal'mɑ̃]; February 21, 1875 – August 4, 1997)[1] was a French woman who reached the longest confirmed lifespan in history at 122 years 164 days (44,724 days in total).[2] She lived in Arles, France for her entire life, and outlived both her daughter and grandson. Her husband, whom she also outlived, left her a lot of money, meaning she never had to work, and she lead a relaxed lifestyle. She became well known from the age of 113, when the centenary of Vincent van Gogh brought reporters to Arles. She entered the Guinness Book of Records in 1988, and in 1993 was declared the oldest person who had ever lived. Her lifespan has been thoroughly documented by scientific study, with more records having been produced to verify her age than for any other case.[3]
Who is or was the oldest ever living person with records to prove it?
There won't be one person, it will be a community that decided to take a census of some sort to record who lived where doing what and how old they are. After that it would have been a good idea to start recording the births of babies. You'll probably find it will have been an earlier civilisation, or multiple communities.Census

Who was the oldest recorded person pre-1500?
That’s an interesting question!If one reads the Bible literally, it would be Methuselah, who supposedly lived to be 969 years old!But I find that very unlikely, like the creation account that says plants grew on earth before the sun was created!In his book The Earliest Centenarians: A Statistical Analysis, John R. Wilmoth asks:When did the first centenarians live? … Some authors have speculated that centenarians may have been rare or even non-existent prior to the industrial era. For example, based on the observed trend in the maximum reported age at death in Sweden during 1861-1990, Wilmoth and Lundström (1995) speculated that "true centenarians may have been quite rare in the pre-industrial period." Similarly, Jeune (1994 and this monograph) put forth the more daring hypothesis that no humans lived to age 100 before 1800, or to 110 before 1950. Unfortunately, direct tests of these hypotheses are nearly impossible, since accurate records of age at death are usually available only for modern populations.Wilmoth then does some VERY advanced math and concludes:Using the prevalence criterion, our best estimate indicates that the emergence of centenarians should have occurred by around 2500 B.C. in a world population of some 100 million persons. Thus, this emergence probably occurred during the time of the first great human civilizations (e.g., the Old Kingdom in Egypt, the Sumerian period in Mesopotamia).But we may never know the names of the oldest people.
