For years, Catholics have imagined Jesus Christ as a tall man with a sharp nose, long flowing hair, fair complexion, and hazel brown eyes. Because famous artists of the past depicted him this way, followers were led to believe that this is the actual image of Jesus Christ. However, Dr. Richard Neave and his team of forensic experts conducted a project aiming to recreate what Jesus might actually have looked like.
Because of the absence of a skeletal frame and lack of details from the Bible on Jesus Christ’s appearance, Dr. Neave had to rely on three different Semite skulls as a reference on what Jesus’s appearance might have actually been. Dr. Neave and his team used forensic anthropology with the help of computerized tomography to come up with a 3D reconstruction of Jesus’ face.
