"5 ft 1 inch"

You have to be kidding me. There are comments in the Bible which say Jesus had a commanding posture - which would indicate HE was quite tall and well built. There is no evidence to support their claim.

They forgot to factor in his father, God, which may result in differences from what the average Joe looked like in that area.

This is the face they created last night on the History channel.I wasn't happy with this show that was created in part by the BBC.They raised some claims that I think are totally ridiculous.They say that Jesus never existed.He didn't die on the cross but was saved instead because a Roman guard gave him a healing drug made out of some flower that allowed him to survive.They also claimed that there are several explanations that deal with his body missing from the tomb.They say he was never removed from the cross and was torn to pieces by wild animals.His body was thrown into a landfill or garbage dump.People stole his body in order to create the myth of him rising from the dead.I was amazed at the weight this program gave to these theories when the program was supposed to give the truth about Jesus.

This has been roundly criticized as not being even good science. The authors of this article and the generators of the picture made some false assumptions based on nothing. One of those is that Jews of the era were short. The only known survey of the sizes of Jewish people involved examination of a large number of skeletons from a 1st Century Jerusalem Jewish cemetary. It was discovered the average height of males was 5'8.25 inches tall... the average height of modern American men is 5'8.75", only 1/2 inch taller. In fact the Roman Centurian who commanded the cohort that executed Jesus were most likely shorter than the populace of Judea.

Ack! I was married to a man for six months that looked just like that. First and last for me.

Look at his eyes. Empty. IMO not the eyes of Christ as I would imagine.

Anthropologists often like to think of folks as cave people, don't they (smile).

The image in #12 is based on speculation, not the Shroud. I saw the special on TV.

[ArmyTeach]

Some anthropoligists are fixated on the Neanderthal...

[Dawgreg]

WCC.......I think I saw this image on the History Channel and I think I like the other one better.*~*

[little jeremiah]

And they are wrong.

[streetpreacher]

Looks like someone from the Iraqi Deck of Cards...

...besides, everyone knows Jesus had blonde/brown hair, blue eyes and a kicking English accent!

I have seen this picture before, and it is not a nice picture.
