According to a team of forensic scientists and medical artists, the video below shows a realistic portrayal of Jesus Christ, and it’s a great deal different from the fair skinned, long-haired man most of us see at church.

In an attempt o recreate the shape of Jesus’s head and face, researchers used computer programs, analyzing three skulls from archaeological sites in and around Jerusalem, where Jesus preached and lived. To determine the color of his skin, eye color, hair, etc., scientists studied drawings from the same time period.

The result was a man with dark skin and eyes, short curly hair, a broad nose and thick beard. These features, scientists say, are what a first century Jewish man would have looked like.

Those same scientists say this the most accurate image of Jesus you'll ever see.
