i havent watched yet but i am a christian but from a secular perspective it would make sense that Jesus was handsome, bright eyed and tall. People tend to respect and view those people as leaders. I am not that into history, but I do know Palestine/Israel was populated by many different people, so it wouldnt be all that odd if Jesus (secular perspective) was the bastard son of a higher class man who was of an invading ethnic group or even of a soldier.

The teeth thing is funny. People who ate traditional diets generally have very healthy, well developed teeth. Without all the sugar in more modern diets tooth decay was extremely rare.

[@Spartan322]

And us modern people constantly forget that ancient peoples did brush their teeth, like you don't need toothpaste to have clean and healthy teeth either.

[@peridotgladioli8259]

Also the ancients were aware that bad teeth equal offensive breath. Tooth-cloths, tooth-picks and various mouth-washes and cleaning powders have been recorded throughout history. (It should be pointed out that worn teeth from rough bread sometimes including flecks of the mill-stone were also a hazard,) Sometimes in long-distance arranged marriages the state of her teeth and breath were enquired into. (In GCSE Latin we had to read Catullus's put-down of Ignatius, who, because he has such gleaming white teeth, grins on every possible occasion.... with the final couplet that he's Spanish, and they clean their teeth with urine, so the whiter his teeth, the more pee he has drunk.)

[@MrRabiddogg]

I was thinking the same thing. His teeth were probably fine. Might not have been movie star perfect but not the way it was shown either

[@Crimea_River]

Especially when you consider that even ancient people lived into their 70's+. You can't get that old in ancient times if you suffer from tooth decay.

[@SawyerSGN]

Well, yes and no, sugar was still present in ancient times, even in Judea. Think wine, dates, honey. Obviously it was less common. But don't forget, many peoples' teeth really suffered from small stones found in the flour they made bread with. Archaeology shows it's a very common dental issue among Roman-era agrarian societies.

Somehow, long hair worn in a bun absorbed much more sweat when I was working.

How much of that is modern, though? Especially in the past 500 years theres been much more international travel. 2000 years ago, not so much. As for Jesus specifically, I'd just say no.

Quite so. Caring for historicity is a pretty recent thing. I will just note, it's proper to distinguish on one hand people who complain that whitey did it, from those who just want a bit more historical accuracy. We can deal with the entire universe speaking modern English, but I would object to Keanu Reaves playing ShakaZulu, so if we have Jewish actors available... I'd appreciate it. Or at least do some proper makeup etc :) at least if you have a good budget available.

Remember, that the shroud sort of wrapped around his face, so flattened out, the face on it would look wider. The AI would make it look it narrower as a real face is 3D and not flat like a cloth.

[@Ciprian-IonutPanait]

the shroud is a fake. it contradicts the gospels if nothing else that specify in detail that the head and the body were wrpped in separate pieces of cloth. More than taht the bpdy was wrapped more like a mummy. So you would not be able to have a shroud containing the face and the boody. Thre would be one pice of cloth containing just the face and the rest ( assuming it was not all wraps) for the body

[@Digatron1234567890]

To me Jesus will always looks like the Akiane painting. I know some people meme it and say that he looks like Kenny Loggins (which he does) but to me that painting actually has a Jesus that looks levantine (Middle Eastern) and looks actually what you expect him to look like. Plus there’s a lot of NDERS and casuals saying that’s what he looked like when he appeared to them.

Men experience 2 types of baldness. There is the receding hairline going back from the forehead. Then there is the thining of the hair from the top of the head in a circle. Some men experience one or the other and some experience both. Receding hairlines are particularly noticeable in men with high foreheads.

When the bespectacled guy said the AI Jesus looked too clean, I think he means the clear complexion with no lines or blemishes.

Paul's mention about hair could have been situational as an example that could have been culturally relevant to the listener at the time. Jesus was an average looking yet perfectly healthy and strong man meant to be compared with how the first man Adam was made perfect.

[@str.77]

True. In any case what Paul wrote to the Corinthians cannot be evidence for how Jesus looked.

[@robo5013]

Exactly, the Corinthians asked Paul if they should grow their hair long and he answered that they shouldn't do anything to mark themselves out as different than the rest of their fellow countrymen. Each of his letters addressed specific concerns from the specific people he wrote to and shouldn't be considered as him creating some sort of cannon.

[@ungeimpfterrusslandtroll7155]

Of course it is especially for a Christian. The Bible is the word of God after all, every word is inspired and there for a reason. What else then was just for the Corinthians? Inspired means it is as if it comes directly out of the mouth of God. It's not Paul who said it, it's God letting Paul say it, inspiring him to say it. So we know that Jesus did not have long hair because this would make him a hypocrite and therefore a sinner. And Paul uses the phrase "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that,.." . It doesn't get more cannon creating.

[@str.77]

@@ungeimpfterrusslandtroll7155 Inspiration (even when applied to every word) does not mean "comes directly out of the mouth of God". God might inspire Paul to say this to the Corinthians - but not to other people and certainly not to Jesus Himself. And no, nature doesn't teach that either. Don't switch off your brain.

[@ungeimpfterrusslandtroll7155]

@@str.77 Jesus Christ is God, he is one with the father. The personification of the Word. "And the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Paul is inspired therefore by Jesus Christ and even when God appeared to him as he still was called Saul, he appeared as Jesus Christ to him. When Paul said these things, it was as if Christ was saying it. It also at the same time talks about how long hair is the glory of the woman. There is no question that long hair is not for man in the Bible. Zero chance to misunderstand that for anybody who takes it serious. For people who don't it's pointless anyway.

[@orlaklassen6355]

It's basically how they've always portrayed him. But it is probably pretty accurate, considering the region. Tron is right about all of the inconsistencies. He probably would have looked a little more ragged with a longer beard, darker skin. It wasnt an easy time and he was always in the "wilderness" travelling and preaching.

Greetings Metatron. I was watching a show on the Shroud...probably several decades back. In it they mentioned the fire damage and repair, and were allowed a zoomed in view to show new fibers woven in. That is what they sampled for the carbon dating, which was done wrong anyway. The show was trying to promote the shroud as authentic. That does not invalidate claims and findings. One of the things they showed was early art that I remember seeing. Early means well after the apostles deaths, as they would have never made a picture of him. No graven images including of that above. There were several that were very similar of the person, but clearly different artists. The point of the the early century art work is how similar it was to the person on the shroud.

[@onetowardslove]

The tv show “the chosen” actually gets what Jesus looked like surprisingly accurate, if not for a few liberties being taken. The actor is middle eastern in appearance, he’s bearded, his tunic is basic and knee length, he appears earthy and somewhat rough. The hair is a bit of a mystery, short hair was the trend at the time but it was most pronounced in cities with a lot of hellenistic influence. Would Jesus follow trends? I don’t know. But somewhat long or messy hair doesn’t seem improbable given his traveling and itinerant lifestyle. Also, the chosen doesn’t seem to show him with a head covering which I find to be a little inaccurate. It’s almost certain he wore some kind of head covering or robe, something to protect him from the elements. Other than that pretty good portrayal

[@kevinmcqueenie7420]

[@kristopherscholefield1723]

The second depiction is honestly a bit silly.

[@FrizziExRose]

For the first AI image based on the shroud, I think the AI is mixing in elements from iconography instead of just pulling from the shroud and trying to make it match perfectly. I think that because the facial hair doesn't match up at all.

[@FrizziExRose]

For the second one, I think he did let a lot of modern bias effect how he programed the AI. I imagine Jesus took decent care of his teeth because His people didn't avoid him altogether. He was a respected teacher amongst the lower classes and I don't think that would've been the case if his teeth/breath were bad. The Jewish people were (are?) very discriminatory regarding hygiene. Also, I've always interpreted the Isaiah description, as well as Judas's kiss of betrayal to mean that he doesn't stand out at all. If he was just ugly then Judas could've just been like... "That ugly guy over there." I do like the hairline, though. Something very... teacherly about it. 😅

Or more accurately it can only extrapolate from it's input. AI is still ruled by the law of "Garbage in, Garbage out". Considering the AI was "taught" using data from the internet and most of the images of Jesus are created by Northern Europeans portraying Jesus with fine Northern European features, the AI will obviously incorporate those features.

[@repentantsinner7472]

My entire family is from the Middle East and the variances in our appearances tracks exactly with what Metatron said. In fact, my Dad is very fair skinned, a natural blonde, and he has blue eyes. Unfortunately none of that passed down to me but people in the Middle East have wide ranging looks. Also they were not oblivious to the sun’s effects so many people, even in primitive parts of the Middle East cover themselves as a form of protection from the sun, but we tend to associate that with Islam, but covering oneself as a form of sunscreen pre-dates Islam. I’m not saying they would look as young as modern age people but they also didn’t look obscenely old. In my experience people in the Middle East who are under the age of 30 look like everyone else but when they reach middle age people in the rural areas start to age rapidly as their skin loses its natural supple nature, so I think that it is purely speculative that Jesus at 33 would have looked like a much older man.

[@amihanathabagat]

I believe Jesus did not have a chin so deeply cleft that it showed in His beard. In fact, i believe He didn't have a cleft chin, because that is actuality a sort f defect, and He was pefect as a human. Rather, parts of His beard were violently pulled out during His torture at the hands of His Jewish captors, before they turned Him over to the Romans.

[@janicem9225]

Yes. And Jesus couldn't have a blemish, being the perfect sacrifice, just like the sacrificial animals had to be perfect.

[@christophermonteith2774]

Not sure about his appearance being perfect though. Honestly, it seems more likely that he'd look pretty plain, but the standards of the time

[@amyk6403]

A cleft chin is NOT a defect. Maybe your thinking of the term "cleft lip," or "cleft palate," which is totally different. That's when a person is born with a separation of the tissue in the upper lip, leading up to the nostril. (Joaquin Phoenix had a cleft lip, for example) A *cleft chin* is just a dimple, or furrow, in the center of the chin. It is a normal, inheritable genetic trait. (For example, Henry Cavill and Adele have cleft chins) Cultural concepts of beauty determine whether we like cleft chins, or not. I'm not sure about this, but I think cleft chins are more likely in people with European descent.​@@janicem9225

[@jameswells554]

I notice he completely ignored the description given by Pilate; which oddly enough was almost dead on what the AI produced to begin with other than his hair being a bit too long (to his shoulders not flowing locks as per Pilate), and I doubt he was as femininly pretty as AI depicted though he was said to have a mild a countenance. Plus Jesus went basically missing for 20 years, presumably and obviously studying Torah; which means he was a Scholar spending the majority of his time indoors. So No, the man would not have been super dark skinned. The presenter also conveniently forgot that Paul never met Jesus; I mean, other than his spurious "encounter on the Road to Damascus" that was only corroborated by his slave.

[@paulodelima5705]
