Experts 'rebuild' J.S. Bach's face

[knight66]

I don't think they were able to use either the skull of Jesus or a cast of it. So the Jesus portrait is much more speculative. The posting Sarge made does seem to indicate a striking resemblance.

Actually they grabbed some skull found on the Golgotha (where people were executed) and reconstructed his face, while taking in consideration what hairstyle was fashionable at the time. I guess they wanted to show us how these people looked like, but it can't be specifically "Jesus".

In the New Testament there is no indication that Jesus looked physically different than his disciples.  But 5'1, 110 lbs!  That's a small man.

Perhaps because physical anthropologists don't actually search for lost music...?

Perhaps just a bit.    Interesting concept though...
