Anthropologist: Christ's Real Face based on Ancient Palestine skulls

Definitely not ur modern day Palestinian but hey as least the very dark hair and light brown skin tone is there.

was Jesus semitic? Arab?? What tribe? most Americans I've told Jesus was born in what is now Palestine usually look at me as if I'm crazy and swear he was European.

Obviously not Nordic/northern European looking.

Thank God

They certainly went out of their way to make him ugly. Same thing happened to the reconstruction of Tutankhamen.

Pathetic.

No they didn't go out of their way to make him look ugly, they did their best to make him look like a person of that time and place.

Why place a value judgement on a scientific approximation?

For those accustomed to traditional Sunday school portraits of Jesus, the sculpture of the dark and swarthy Middle Eastern man that emerges from Neave's laboratory is a reminder of the roots of their faith. "The fact that he probably looked a great deal more like a darker-skinned Semite than westerners are used to seeing him pictured is a reminder of his universality," says Charles D. Hackett, director of Episcopal studies at the Candler School of Theology in Atlanta. "And [it is] a reminder of our tendency to sinfully appropriate him in the service of our cultural values."

Neave emphasizes that his re-creation is simply that of an adult man who lived in the same place and at the same time as Jesus. As might well be expected, not everyone agrees.

Yes. Hideous!

Hi. A thread on this has already been started.

I can hear the army of footsteps from the arrogant Christians that feel the Cesare Borgia depiction of Jesus is the true Jesus.

I'd like to know more about these skulls, though, and why they are relevant. Nevertheless, any depiction of Jesus that isn't a white person is going to be infinitely more accurate than the common portrayal.

Na,

As we said in the last thread, they dug up some Italians!

If you connected his eyebrows in the middle (uni-brow), that is the spitting image of my buddy Vito.

Research database: three (3) skulls.

Real science.

You bet!

Color has nothing to do with it.
