Jesus Christ
For sure, Jesus Christ in the Western region is depicted in artistry of all kinds, more popularly than any other figure in the history of existence. Christ was born around 4 B.C and died between 30-33 A.D. and is known to many as “Son of God,” “King of the Jews,” and “Jesus Christ of Nazareth.” So, any portrait of him seen around the world can easily be identified by almost everyone.

The portrait we are used to has been under scrutiny by many researchers as they note it does not link to someone who lived in the Persian portion of the Roman Empire. The painting they claim is a work of art from the Middle Ages and would have been created long after Christ’s death. The white man with fair hair may not be a true representation of who He was, so the current project may leave you in complete shock.

Researchers stumbled on a 14-foot linen cloth in 1354, which they believed was the exact materials used during the crucifixion. An unexpected photograph negative revealed the image of a man who they later discovered to have been crucified, and there is still no explanation as to how the image of the man was visible in such a manner. Immediately people thought this must be Christ.

Since then, however, there have been carbon tests to date the material and most agree that the material is probably at least a century older than Jesus was, yet it is still a heated debate between many. However, in 2001, forensic anthropologist Richard Neave decided to create an image that he thought would be a close representation of a Galilean man based on a skull from the region. So, he used the information about Christ’s age, how the people of the time looked and lived among other details, and although he never claimed it was an exact representation, we are never told that Jesus had distinct features of any kind, so it probably is not far off.
