He as a middle eastern Jew, how could he look like he came from Stockholm?

2. That is possible

If everyone on Earth originated in Atlantis,
and migrated when Atlantis was destroyed.

3. This is not something I'd expect to read in Popular Mechanics. nt

4. Popular Mech. went to shit.

I agree with you - wtf?

I ended my subscription with them a few years ago.

If you want to leaf thru 50 pages of advertisements, be my guest...

Also notice Nat Geo is getting a little weird as well.

A lot more god stuff... rankles me.

12. Sometimes the ads in certain magazines are the only things

of any interest, good or bad.

I guess magazines are having a hard time making it financially these days.
Who reads them? My adult kids don't, mostly, nor do they read daily newspapers.

Life in the 21st century.

8. This pix/story about how Jeebus really looked ran years ago (2002!) in Popular Mechanics.

I wonder why they updated it to 2015? Thirteen years have passed. This is nothing new.

9. A textbook example of clickbait.

Headline: "The Real Face of Jesus: Advances in forensic science reveal the most famous face in history"

Second-to-last Paragraph:

Neave emphasizes that his re-creation is simply that of an adult man who lived in the same place and at the same time as Jesus. As might well be expected, not everyone agrees.

Something of a disparity there.

10. Based on what? There is no evidence on which to perform forensics.

There are no remains to examine, nor even any contemporary accounts of the mythical figure on which to base the conclusion.

All they are really saying is "this is what a typical resident of Galilee would have looked like."

[Iggo]

11. He looked like this...

[Warren Stupidity]

17. Damn. That is the same picture I was going to post.

13. How people see Jesus

[demwing]

14. Nah...I'm pretty sure the big JC looked like this

[LostOne4Ever]

16. I think Huey had it right
