No one knows. But news of a recent attempt to answer that question has resurfaced in these days leading up to the celebration of his birth.

In case you missed it, British scientists and Israeli archeologists earlier this year used forensic anthropology, the kind typically used to solve crimes, to recreate what was described as the most accurate image of the most famous face in history.

Their Jesus has dark short hair, a mustache and beard.

It looks nothing like a Eurocentric Jesus.

It looks nothing like “The Head of Christ,” one of the most recognizable images of Jesus painted by Christian artist Warner Sallman in 1940 and reproduced hundreds of millions of times on greeting cards and prayer cards alike.

Sallman’s iconic Jesus is white and light-haired as opposed to modern-day depictions showing Jesus with darker skin, darker hair, darker eyes — truer to the people of his day.

“Given the profound effect he has had on human history, it’s understandable that there would be so much curiosity around the face of the man who has billions of followers worldwide,” Discovery new noted on Monday.

“Artistic portrayals of Jesus have seemingly come to a consensus, though the image of Jesus has changed over the centuries.”

It’s not just Jesus’ skin tone that has changed. Historically, Jesus has had a number of hairstyles, too — long and flowing in Byzantine icons, short and curly in this latest incarnation.

Jesus has a beard, he is beardless.

Jesus has blue eyes. He has brown eyes.

Jesus smiles. He is stern-faced.

He is Hollywood handsome.

Just last week, the Department of Art and Design at Bluefield Collegen Virginia released an image of “Movie Jesus,” a composite image of every major portrayal of Jesus on the big screen.





In May, Italian police released a photo of what they said Jesus looked like as a young boy, an image created using the Shroud of Turin and computer forensics. British media reported that the police employed the same forensic techniques used to catch Mafia bosses.

It’s not as if the Bible offers clues to what Jesus looked like, with references to his physical appearance largely nonexistent, vague at best.

“Jesus is the best-known figure of history, but in many ways he is also the least known,”writes D. Moody Smith, professor emeritus of New Testament at Duke University Divinity School.

“Most ancient bioi (Greek plural of the word for ‘life’), like modern biographies, describe the subject’s appearance. Even Old Testament descriptions of King David, for example, allude to his physical attractiveness.

“But the New Testament Gospels contain no reference to Jesus’ appearance, much less a description of him. We don’t know what he looked like.”

Artists have depicted the baby Jesus since at least the fourth century. But among the earliest depictions of an older Jesus ever discovered is a fresco dating back to 235 A.D. found in a Syrian synagogue. The artwork, named the “Healing of the Paralytic,” shows Jesus with short, curly hair wearing a tunic and sandals.

The portrait of Jesus as a bearded, long-haired man began to emerge in the early fourth century, a portrayal inspired by Greek and Roman gods that eventually became the most commonly depicted adult Jesus, according to Discovery.

It was a bearded Jesus, for instance, depicted in frescoes discovered in 2010 in catacombs near St. Paul’s Basilica in Rome, believed to be the earliest depiction of Jesus with his 12 apostles.

The most recent portrait released earlier this year was created using forensic data from the skulls of first-century Jewish men from around Galilee in northern Israel.

Richard Neave, a British anatomical artist retired from the University of Manchester, used clay models, computerized x-rays and drawings of men from the region and Jesus’ time to reimagine his face, coloration and hair, according to mic

“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,” wrote Popular Mechanics in January when it published these new findings.

“If anyone could create an accurate portrait of Jesus, it would be Neave.”

Even though the portrait was published earlier this year, it somehow found new life on the Internet in recent days, when “Jesus Christ” briefly became a trending topic Monday on Twitter and Facebook.

Noted Popular Mechanics when it first unveiled this new image: “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.”

I have to admit that there is a chance that this is actually Jesus' burial cloth (1 in 100,000 or so, but still a chance.)

Get a grip, "In 1988, a radiocarbon dating test dated a corner piece of the shroud from the Middle Ages, between the years 1260 and 1390, which is consistent with the shroud's first known exhibition in France in 1357."

How Image Enhancement May Explain Past Events
The following article is reprinted from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's house magazine, "JPL Universe," dated July 5, 1977.

In the "truth is stranger than fiction category" a phone call to NASA's JPL from a member of the Christ Brotherhood in New Mexico, requesting image analysis of a religious relic, has drawn two men from JPL's image processing lab into a fascinating investigation of the famous "Shroud of Turin."

The controversial shroud is a 4 1/2 meter, 7.62 centimeter long linen cloth that bears a remarkably detailed image of a bearded, long-haired man, with numerous lacerations over his body.

Tradition, dating back to at least 1354 A.D., has it that the fabric, with its brownish, stain-like shadings, is the burial shroud of Jesus Christ.

Enshrined in the northern Italian city of Turin since 1578, the shroud has inspired widespread curiosity, especially since the first photographs of it taken in 1898 showed the markings to be a "negative" rather than a "positive" image. The resulting "picture" resembles rubbings made from base-relief art works.

JPL's Donald Lynn and Jean Lorre were drawn into the quest for further information about the relic when the Christ Brotherhood members and representatives of a New York based Holy Shroud Guild contacted them last year. These people had learned of the NASA/JPL advanced image processing techniques, and hoped that sophisticated computer analyses might be applied to negatives and color slides of the shroud obtained in 1973. They explained that many questions about various types of marks on the shroud remained unanswered:

Was the body image formed from ammonia vapors absorbed into the linen threads, as thought in earlier years? Was it caused by a radiation phenomenon, as one analysis has indicated, or by processes of which scientists are still unaware? Are the dark spots at the wrists and feet direct-contact blood stains? Is the image possibly a "picture" that was painted on? And how could investigators better distinguish between the original image and blemishes such as holes, wrinkles, and burns, scorching and water stains that damaged the cloth during a fire in the Sainte Chapelle in Chamery in 1532?

The challenge for Lynn and Lorre was in the first phase a technical one, yet both men became caught up in the age-old mystery, and agreed to see what they could do. Their task was to remove as many of the extraneous markings or "artifacts" as possible in an attempt to reveal a more distinct picture of the figure on the shroud.

The pictures they produced (using mathematical and contrast enhancement techniques) revealed a noticeably clearer image of the figure.

"We didn't feel we made any major finds," says Lynn, "partly because we had poor quality negatives to work with. However, frequency analysis did tend to rule out the possibility that the figure was hand painted."

Both men were so optimistic about the mysteries they might eventually solve if allowed to obtain better photographs, that they chose to present their work to the Holy Shroud Conference in Albuquerque last March.

The Albuquerque gathering consisted of 40 participants, including forensic specialists, clergy, scientists from the Air Force Academy, Sandia Laboratory, and the nearby Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, and eminent Protestant and Catholic scholars, including Vatican representatives.

Their common objective was to share current studies on the relic and to prepare for greater scientific examination of the garment at an unprecedented exhibition of the shroud in Turin in 1978.

The Face of Jesus?‹Enlargement of the face of the figure imprinted on the "Shroud of Turin" by image enhancement techniques used at NASA's JPL shows white spots, thought to be bloodstains, on hair and forehead.

That exhibition could be the "moment of truth" for the shroud's authenticity, according to Anglican scholar John A. T. Robinson of Trinity College, Cambridge, especially if use of the destructive carbon-14 dating process (now successful when applied to fragments as small as a square centimeter) is permitted on the fragile fabric.

A report by Dr. John Jackson and Dr. Eric Jumper of the Air Force Academy showed that the figure discernible on the shroud probably was that of a man 5' 10" tall, weighing about 175 pounds. These scientists ultimately hope to produce a three-dimensional statue of the body imprint.

One unusual examination by Zurich criminologist Max Frie, indicated that pollen particles found on shroud fibers are indigenous to Palestine, Turkey, France, and Turin, at dates appropriate to the alleged history of the shroud.

Despite the many tests made, scientists at the conference emphasized that they still are at a loss to explain how the image got on the shroud.

That is why Lynn and Lorre want to pursue this project. They'd like to apply color classification analysis such as is used routinely on Earth-orbiting satellite pictures. "To separate the various markings and determine their nature," says Lorre, "we would need to take high resolution photographs of the shroud in many colors, with adequate calibration controls to allow intercomparison between the photographs.

"Then very sensitive color variation maps could be produced, which might allow one to separate marks by their chemical composition."

Because of their professional and personal curiosity, Lynn and Lorre are hoping to participate in a more detailed examination and analysis of the shroud before the planned public exposition in Turin in 1978.

"Everyone who has come in contact with our shroud pictures shares our excitement," says Lynn. "I've observed a level of religious consciousness, especially among lab employees, which I did not know existed."

"Like many people around the world, we'd like answers to these compelling questions... Is this cloth really 2000 years old? Is the image truly the imprint of a human corpse? If so, whose image is it ? And, especially from the scientific viewpoint, how did that image get there?"

Detective Story, Part Two

(The following article appeared in "NASA Activities," September 1978, p. 7.)

Although the "Shroud of Turin" investigation by JPL scientists is not a NASA enterprise, the image enhancement techniques used stem from space technology. The work, therefore, has a NASA connotation. The following article, from the JPL Universe, covers the latest developments in this fascinating story. (See NASA Activities for November 1977 for earlier coverage.)

The Shroud of Turin, that ancient burial cloth mysteriously imprinted with a figure thought to resemble Jesus Christ, is dramatically affecting the lives of two JPL scientists.

When Don Lynn and Jean Lorre agreed to apply image processing techniques to photographs of the shroud in 1977, they hardly expected to find their results published in newspapers and magazines around the world.

Since then, their initial mild curiosity about the relic has intensified through involvement with other American scientists who propose to determine how the shroud was imprinted through a variety of sophisticated tests. The result is that Lynn and Lorre will go to Turin, Italy, in October when Catholic authorities will allow the American science team to make an unprecedented 24-hour examination of the shroud itself.

The team is sponsored by the New York-based Holy Shroud Guild of America. And the tests coincide with a public exhibition and international conference about the shroud, to be held in Turin September 26 through October 8.

Lynn and Lorre will take infrared and ultraviolet photographs as well as conventional black and white and color pictures. Other team members will make radiographic and X-ray fluorescence examinations.

Primarily, they will explore the mechanical formation of the unique "negative" image of a 5-foot-10 man with lacerations about his head, face and body.

Turin authorities declined to accept the proposed age-dating tests until it is determined exactly how much cloth is needed to get accurate results. If approval is granted by the conclusion of the exhibition, results from those tests will take months to obtain.

Although the shroud has been stitched to a protective cloth backing, the reverse side of the fragile fabric will be examined also, by using a flexible optical instrument.

A special frame from which the fabric will be suspended with magnets has been designed by Tom D'Muhala, president of an international nuclear decontamination firm in Connecticut. D'Muhala's chance reading of a book about the shroud led him to build and donate this equipment and to supervise logistics of the team's trip to Europe.

A formal proposal for the examinations was sent to authorities in Turin, along with a model of the frame and a unique three-dimensional model of the shroud figure, derived from image enhancement photographs.

Based on the relationship between image intensity (shades from black to white) and cloth-body distance, Air Force Academy professors and students built a cardboard model of the shroud's figure. They used slices of l/8-inch-thick cardboard to build up layers (similar in appearance to a topographical map) that form the frontal image of a 5-foot-10 man in a state of repose.

As the day of examination approaches, financial support for the American science team is still uncertain. "But we're going ahead with our plans," says Lynn, "because we are certain the funding will come from somewhere."

The cooperation of major business corporations has been tremendous, Lynn reports. Photographic and electronic equipment companies, including Polaroid, Kodak and the Brooks Institute of Photography have agreed to lend or donate facilities and equipment for the tests.

All the participants are donating their time, but money is needed for purchasing some equipment and for transporting people and equipment to Turin. Funds also are needed for the months, possibly years, needed to analyze the data.

Lynn and Lorre expect to provide a "quick look" report of their findings soon after the Turin exhibition. Both men speak of the event with expectation, still in awe of witnessing how technology is unlocking closed doors of history.

Lynn and Lorre expect to provide a "quick look" report of their findings soon after the Turin exhibition. Both men speak of the event with expectation, still in awe of witnessing how technology is unlocking closed doors of history.

NASA VP8 Shroud 3D image
Why Shroud of Turin gives 3D digital image on NASA VP-8

Why the Shroud of Turin is able to produce such a detailed 3D digital image is because the image was formed on the Shroud of Turin by light emitted from within the body of Jesus. Normally a photo captures the reflected light bouncing off the subject being photographed. This means that there will always be some areas with shadows on the photo, like on the eyes or behind the nose. The Shroud photo has absolutely no shadows; it is because the light originated from the body of the subject, and radiated out of the body itself to form the image. That is why normal photos, even the very best, even pin hole camera images cannot form images without shadows.

The new face of Jesus created by British scientists. Popular Mechanics

Was he blond like Brad Pitt? Was he black like Kanye “Yeezus” West?

Just what did Jesus Christ look like?

No one knows. But news of a recent attempt to answer that question has resurfaced in these days leading up to the celebration of his birth.

In case you missed it, British scientists and Israeli archeologists earlier this year used forensic anthropology, the kind typically used to solve crimes, to recreate what was described as the most accurate image of the most famous face in history.

Their Jesus has dark short hair, a mustache and beard.

It looks nothing like a Eurocentric Jesus.

It looks nothing like “The Head of Christ,” one of the most recognizable images of Jesus painted by Christian artist Warner Sallman in 1940 and reproduced hundreds of millions of times on greeting cards and prayer cards alike.

Sallman’s iconic Jesus is white and light-haired as opposed to modern-day depictions showing Jesus with darker skin, darker hair, darker eyes — truer to the people of his day.

“Given the profound effect he has had on human history, it’s understandable that there would be so much curiosity around the face of the man who has billions of followers worldwide,” Discovery new noted on Monday.

“Artistic portrayals of Jesus have seemingly come to a consensus, though the image of Jesus has changed over the centuries.”

It’s not just Jesus’ skin tone that has changed. Historically, Jesus has had a number of hairstyles, too — long and flowing in Byzantine icons, short and curly in this latest incarnation.

Jesus has a beard, he is beardless.

Jesus has blue eyes. He has brown eyes.

Jesus smiles. He is stern-faced.

He is Hollywood handsome.

Just last week, the Department of Art and Design at Bluefield Collegen Virginia released an image of “Movie Jesus,” a composite image of every major portrayal of Jesus on the big screen.





In May, Italian police released a photo of what they said Jesus looked like as a young boy, an image created using the Shroud of Turin and computer forensics. British media reported that the police employed the same forensic techniques used to catch Mafia bosses.

It’s not as if the Bible offers clues to what Jesus looked like, with references to his physical appearance largely nonexistent, vague at best.

“Jesus is the best-known figure of history, but in many ways he is also the least known,”writes D. Moody Smith, professor emeritus of New Testament at Duke University Divinity School.

“Most ancient bioi (Greek plural of the word for ‘life’), like modern biographies, describe the subject’s appearance. Even Old Testament descriptions of King David, for example, allude to his physical attractiveness.

“But the New Testament Gospels contain no reference to Jesus’ appearance, much less a description of him. We don’t know what he looked like.”

Artists have depicted the baby Jesus since at least the fourth century. But among the earliest depictions of an older Jesus ever discovered is a fresco dating back to 235 A.D. found in a Syrian synagogue. The artwork, named the “Healing of the Paralytic,” shows Jesus with short, curly hair wearing a tunic and sandals.

The portrait of Jesus as a bearded, long-haired man began to emerge in the early fourth century, a portrayal inspired by Greek and Roman gods that eventually became the most commonly depicted adult Jesus, according to Discovery.

It was a bearded Jesus, for instance, depicted in frescoes discovered in 2010 in catacombs near St. Paul’s Basilica in Rome, believed to be the earliest depiction of Jesus with his 12 apostles.

The most recent portrait released earlier this year was created using forensic data from the skulls of first-century Jewish men from around Galilee in northern Israel.

Richard Neave, a British anatomical artist retired from the University of Manchester, used clay models, computerized x-rays and drawings of men from the region and Jesus’ time to reimagine his face, coloration and hair, according to mic

“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,” wrote Popular Mechanics in January when it published these new findings.

“If anyone could create an accurate portrait of Jesus, it would be Neave.”

Even though the portrait was published earlier this year, it somehow found new life on the Internet in recent days, when “Jesus Christ” briefly became a trending topic Monday on Twitter and Facebook.

Noted Popular Mechanics when it first unveiled this new image: “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.”

LOL.

that guy looks stupid.


See what happens when scientist tries to imitate art?

Looks like a Russel Crow cave man, the young blonde Jesus looks like Trumps son Barron. *L*

Either way, not the "face of God" ..lol.


The reason it is prohibited by divine law to make a visible representation of God as an object of worship , especially in the form of human being, should be clear after all this silliness..


It will always result in something false.

I agree with you it is sure that nobody seems to agree on the physiognomy of Jesus I bring the several hypotheses after the various researches.

 

[irosie91]

in keeping with "the way people were"------chances are his physical appearance was not REMARKABLE-------like he had all four limbs-----was not unusually tall or
unusually BLACK complected. Probably did not have blue eyes

 

[HaShev]

"light eminating from the body"

But this and the visions by Paul and Constantine of Luciferous light eminations makes Jesus Lucifer.

[See Lucifer here etymology of "": "[ the morning star, a fallen rebel archangel, THE Devil, fr. OE. fr. Latin, the morning star, fr. Lucifer light-bearing, fr. luc light + -fer -ferous--more at LIGHT]" (Webster's, p.677)

"So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star (LUCIFER)rises in your hearts." -- 2 Peter 1:19
"... from my Father. To the one who conquers(DESTROYS) I will also give the morning star(LUCIFER)." -- Revelation 2:28
· Revelation 22:16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things in the churches.
· I am the bright and Morning Star (lucifer)

It is always interesting seeing how people are so easily conned..The shroud is one piece of cloth not a number of pieces of cloth like is mentioned in John 19 verse 40 if I remember correctly showing it is a clever forgery at best...It is not like people don't use false hopes and promises to fleece the sheeple... Rolling my eyes....The other thing is truth and knowledge was originally shown or depicted as LIGHT...Not false Light emanating from a body as Michael so aptly pointed out...Maybe the city of Turin suffering from jealousy because it is a distant second to Rome in fame resorted to bring some glory to her area... We probably will never know but they sure get a lot of free publicity and probably tourism dollars as well..Wink Wink..

Thank you. If I had to choose it would be the image on the shroud that most likely reflects his approximate appearance whether it is a forgery or not.

I also think its possible that the carbon residue on the shroud from the smoke and soot of the fire in the middle ages could have contaminated the fibers of the sample used and affected the accuracy of the carbon dating.

Shroud of Turin new evidence prooves Shroud of Turin authenticity

In 1988, a small piece of cloth was cut from one of the corners of the Shroud and divided into postage stamp size pieces and given to 3 reputed International labs to do a Carbon Dating Test to determine the age of the Shroud. The results from all 3 labs said that the cloth was dated between the years 1260 and 1390. Later on it was proved that there was an error in the carbon dating dates due to the samples being taken from the corners of the Shroud which had repair threads in it and not being of the same composition as the main body of the Shroud cloth. This was because during the centuries that the shroud was venerated and held by the corners of the shroud, the corners became damaged and it was repaired in the middle ages using a process called invisible weaving or darning using dyed threads available then.
But...
New tests prove the Shroud Carbon dating wrong

Professor Gulio Fanti, of the University of Padua in Italy, has recently carried out some tests on fibers obtained from a reserve sample of a piece of the Shroud which was cut in 1988 for Carbon dating. Results of his tests date the Shroud of Turin to the 1st century AD.

The tests by Professor Gulio Fanti, were carried out in University of Padua laboratories in collaboration with professors from various Italian universities, led by Giulio Fanti and the results of these tests have been published in an articles entitled "Non-destructive dating of ancient flax textiles by means of vibrational spectroscopy" by Giulio Fanti, Pietro Baraldi, Roberto Basso, and Anna Tinti in the peer-reviewed research journal ‘Vibrational Spectroscopy’, in July 2013. He also wrote an article titled "A new cyclic-loads machine for the measurement of micro-mechanical properties of single flax fibers coming from the Turin Shroud" with Pierandrea Malfi for the AIMETA (Italian Association of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics) congress in 2013. Professor Gulio Fanti has also published a book in 2013 called "il Mistero della Sindone" (The Mystery of the Shroud).

The tests carried out by Professor Fanti comprised of three tests: one mechanical and two chemical. The mechanical tests were to measure and compare the tensile strength and elongation of several samples of individual linen fibers. The chemical tests were done with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy, which examinined the relationship between age and a spectral properties of ancient linen fibers.

Final results of Professor Fanti’s research shows with 95% certainty that the Shroud fibers are from the first centaury AD.
