Ever wondered what our lord Jesus Christ look like? An answer has
emerged from an exciting new field of science: forensic anthropology.
British scientists, assisted by Israeli archaeologists, re-created the face using methods similar to those police have developed to solve crimes.
While forensic anthropology is usually used to solve crimes, Richard
Neave, a medical artist retired from The University of Manchester in
England, realized it also could shed light on the appearance of Jesus.
Neave had ventured in controversial areas before. Over the past two
decades, he had reconstructed dozens of famous faces, including Philip
II of Macedonia, the father of Alexander the Great, and King Midas of
Phrygia.
So if anyone could create an accurate portrait of Jesus, it’d be him.
In order to create an accurate portrait of Jesus, Neave and his
research team’s first step was to acquire skulls from near Jerusalem,
the region where Jesus lived and preached and 3 well-preserved specimens
were obtained.
Computerized tomography was used to create X-ray slices of the
skulls. Reams of information about known measurements of the thickness
of soft tissue at key areas on human faces were evaluated. This made it
possible to re-create the muscles and skin overlying a representative
Semite skull..
How true could this be??..is it what Jesus looks like that matters or our believe in him??
