PHOTO: FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGISTS have built a composite of what Jesus really looked like
Forensic Anthropologists have made a composite of what Jesus looked like according to skulls collected from the time when Jesus was alive. The above photo is what they have determined is an accurate photo.
According to the Gospel of Matthew, when Jesus was arrested in the garden of Gethsemane before the Crucifixion, Judas Iscariot had to indicate to the soldiers whom Jesus was because they could not tell him apart from his disciples.
Every culture draws a picture of Jesus to resemble their own people, even "blonde" which is impossible since people in the middle east are NEVER blonde. In every part of the world Jesus will be pictured as black, Arab or Hispanic, depending on what country is drawing the depiction.
Forensic anthropologists have pieced together an image of Jesus scientifically, using methods similar to those police use to solve crime.
British scientists, assisted by Israeli archeologists, have re-created what they believe is the most accurate image of the most famous face in human history.
Thanks Nick. I would never have viewed Jesus as almost cross-eyed, did people really look or still look,like that in the middle east? I knew Jesus had to look Egyptian not blonde and blue eyed, I think most people know that. And a black Jesus is closer to reality than a blond one, but still didn't picture the photo above at all.

this depiction isn\'t bad once you get used to it. we are all used to seeing paintings of the sun god which were later labelled as Jesus, that in usa we kind of freak if jesus isn\'t blonde and blue eyed, which if you give it a little thought, pretty silly to expect a blonde jesus in the middle east where NO ONE is blonde.
