If he was real (which he wasn't (http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/)), then yeah, probably that's how he would have looked.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

Interesting but the article doesn't really say anything but that Jesus probably looked much like everyone else living in his time and place.Popular Mechanics is famous for promising more in its articles than it delivers."Build A Wormhole Portal To Distant Galaxies In Your Backyard for Only $15.99"

Most likely the historical Jesus was a composite of several people who lived around the same time.As I understand according to the "Bulgarian Josephus" (probably a forgery anyway) JC was a short and ugly guy. (Please note that being shorter than the average prevailing height does not make one ugly, I like short guys)

[Revolution starts with U]

Jesus was black :sneaky:

[DDR]

Fuck Jesus is Mayor Oreja!

[VeritablyV]

The white Jesus was due to conversion of white pagans in north west europe, e.g. France. He definitely wasn't white though.. the Romans also have murals of him with short hair after their own culture, of course.

This is really what the guy looked like

I'm pretty sure there was a Jesus back then, who was a carpenter. I don't think he was the son of god or that there is a god, but I'm pretty sure there was a Jesus.

I'm sure there were plenty of people called Jesus or Yeshua or whatever. But there is no evidence that there was anyone massively distinct with that name.

Here (http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/surfeit.htm) are the many different Jesus' that existed around the time, really interesting.

[Pretty Flaco]

He would have looked like a palestinian. he would have been born in present day palestine.

[Magón]

I don't understand why people say Jesus wasn't real, or he died for our sins, etc. He is real, and he's not dead. In fact, he's a cousin of mine who just happens to live in Mexico. :cool:

He's also in my English class! Jesus must be everywhere!

[Lenina Rosenweg]

I thought the real Jesus was a guy wearing a sombrero and a serape and holding a pick ax, standing outside a window. Naw, must be someone else

[Inquisitive Lurker]

Time magazine did an article about this many years ago, showing what the average person of his phenotype would have looked like. Shorter, rounder face, olive complexion, black curly hair. It was a cover story.

So he'd have looked jewish... :ohmy:
I'm shocked.

I also have a cousin names Jesus, and one named Zeus. It's funny, cuz when I say, "Hey Zeus, get me a beer" I end up with two :laugh:

Considering jesus was popped out of a Palestinian women in the middle east, the likelihood of him having blue eyes and pale skin is as likely as his existence.

[Manic Impressive]

I don't think that a Palestinian person today would look exactly the same as a Palastinian person 2000 years ago. There was a lot of movement of people from east to west since then. I've even heard that the Philistines were naval traders who originally settled there from the south of the Iberian peninsula. But I only read that once a long time ago so I could be completely wrong.

That's the photo I remember from Time. The average phenotype.

Its possible they are just descendants of the british empire, but still I love that video for trolling nazis! :D

The iranians are indo-european. There was never a significant British presence in Iran outside of a handful diplomatic staff and military in the south. Also, the nazi considered them to be aryan - that's what Iran means to begin with.
Fail on both counts.

There's only a handful of people in that video too, and I meant neo-Nazis, who hate everyone they consider 'non-white'. Believe it or not that video really irritates them. :)

Only some neonazis, I've seen plenty in my trolling who consider Iranians white.

Also it still has little to do with a hypothetical iron age jew.

[[R]evolution!]

Tell religious right-wingers Jesus was a socialist (could be interpreted as that) and they go off their nut XD

Maybe they should add a Middle East section to Stormfront.. :lol:


Also it still has absolutely nothing to do with a hypothetical iron age jew

Well its you saying the Iranians are Indo-European, isn't it possible one of them wandered off to the Holy Land and converted to Judaism? Or from Europe? Not that I really give a fuck about any this personally..

Which just goes to show the arbitrariness of racial classification, I suppose. Once you move outside the few select spheres in which the original colonial domains were established and so in which the original race-system was drawn up, it all becomes a matter of opinion. About the only thing you can really establish is race as a sociological category, i.e. how people generally regard each other, and that's a notoriously fluid set of categories even with the terms of hand-me-down racialism.
