Computer recreates Jesus' face for History

reply to post by Jazzyguy


Thanks Jazzy,

Cool thread. I look forward to a better shot from the front or something.. but I've never been a Christian that believed he was blonde hair and blue eyed.. that's just silly considering where he was born.

I was told at one point that the shroud of turin was created by Leonardo Da Vinci through placing the cloth on his face after being soaked in certain simple chemicals, and letting sunlight from his window make a chemical imprint of his face.

No evidence.

Simply told by an old friend and Ph.D student in biochemistry.

Worth a look up though.

I'd do it myself but I have no time right now.

I was raised a Missionary Baptist here in Louisiana, and we were NEVER taught that Jesus was white. That is absurd, he was a JEW, for pete's sake!

Obviously...I mean, he was born in the middle east...if he were born a white dude, then there would have been record of him looking different then the people around him.

The image we have of Christ is a created one.

Well, the image on the shroud certainly looks like Leonardo's face.

The resemblance is uncanny.

The first mention of the shroud comes from a treatise (written or dictated) by Geoffroi de Charny in 1356 and who claims to have owned the cloth (see The Book of Chivalry of Geoffroi De Charny). Later, in the 16th century, it suddenly appeared in a cathedral in Turin, Italy. (Note that thousands of claimed Jesus relics appeared in cathedrals throughout Europe, including the wood from the cross, chalices, blood of Jesus, etc. These artifacts proved popular and served as a prosperous commercial device which filled the money coffers of the churches.) [See The Family Jewels for some examples.]

even though the shroud is a fake its still cool that they created the image. Good stuff.

Fascinating! Though I don't believe that the Shroud of Turin has Jesus on it. Still very interesting post, though. Thanks for sharing.

Nice posting. I saw this today. More detail, longer/in depth story and more pic.

Worth the look if you like this subject.

its strange that if its a forgery, as I was inclined to think, shouldn't it be in the image of its creator, a european? add that to the text that was discovered, the equivalent of a modern day "toe tag"...who knows what to make of it all

They will make that image look more and more alive.
Sort of meet your maker so you recognize Him when he comes
for you as he did for St. Steven.
I don't think its necessary but got to be more interesting than Avatar
and might eventually go on youtube so I can see it.

If he really was the king of men, how large was his "unit"? Does the shroud show that?

This is important to you.
Duh.
Wrong forum for you perhaps.

"The Real Face of Jesus" was a spectacular show. Michael/Christ Jesus' correct likeness being decoded is another sign of the End Times for people to ponder about.

Since the Shroud can neither be proven nor disproven, considering whether or not it depicts Michael as the Christ is like all other things of Yahweh - it rests on common sense and faith.

I think they aired this on Easter Sunday and of course I missed it! Can someone post a picture of his face and we can check it out.
