It may not be the first picture but hopefully the last of....how many posts?...of this story.

The discovery of the manuscript is very interesting but, frankly, the image bears no resemblance to that which I saw on the 3-cheese pizza.

See: http://paleojudaica.blogspot.com/ for serious questions about the authenticity of these lead tablets.

The portrait was found on a lead booklet, slightly smaller than a credit card,

Lost for 2,000 years... Could this be the first portrait of Jesus?

It could be.
It could also be the first known depiction of an extraterrestrial, too.

Anything is possible.

Looks like a lion to me.

If genuinely produced by early Christians, it could represent The Lion of the Tribe of Judah mentioned in Revelation

No, it’s already been debunked as a fraud.

“You saw no form of any kind the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire . . . .” Not a portrait because Jesus would not have sat for it. No Jew that believed Jesus was Messiach would have made it.
