Scientists Create Model Of What Jesus Looked Like
It’s not what you expect.
According to the Gospel of Matthew, the Romans that arrested Jesus needed Judas Iscariot’s help to identify him because he looked like his disciples. Jesus is never described in the bible, nor can scientists use his remains to recreate his appearance using DNA.
However, using contextual clues from the Bible and historical data, Richard Neave, a medical artist retired from The University of Manchester in England, was able to help illustrate what Jesus might have looked like, Popular Mechanics reported. “It is clear that his features were typical of Galilean Semites of his era,” the report reads.
Neave and his team acquired Semite skulls from the area in and around Jerusalem with cooperation from Israeli archeologists. He then used a computer to give details on the skulls’ structure and how tissue would have sat on top of the bone. Using this data, Neave and his team built a 3D model of the face and cast it in clay.

Yasr Arafat is still my idea of what he looked like, sans headgear.

Jesus was crucified at age 33, according to church tradition. When I think of Arafat, he’s a grizzled old guy. I’ll have to find a picture of him in his early 30s.
Yout idea would really make right-wing heads explode.
