A forensic expert has recreated the face of Jesus Christ using state-of-the art science according to the Mirror. The resulting face is a far cry from the tall, Caucasian man with light blonde hair that is usually show in bibles and stained glass windows throughout the world. The features of the 'real' Jesus are typical of Middle Eastern Jews in the Galilee area of northern Israel. The striking image was created by Richard Neave, a retired medical artist from the University of Manchester, who used forensic anthropology usually used to solve crimes to build the portrait. He used the fact that before the Crucifixion, Judas Iscariot had to tell the soldiers who Jesus was because they could not tell him apart from his disciples. Neave and his research team were provided with Semite skulls from Israeli archaeologists.
