The image of Jesus may not accurately portray his real face
Some historians believe that well-known paintings of Jesus, like those from The Last Supper and Cristo Crucificado, may not be accurate. They argue that the fair skin and long hair associated with these pieces are unlikely features for men living in Galilee during Jesus’ time.
CT scans of Galilean Semite skulls allowed researchers and archaeologists to create a computer-generated model of what Jesus may have looked like. The results suggest he had darker facial features than previously believed.
