Hello and welcome to another episode of the really show where we reported a funny weird and interesting things we find
online. I'm your host Aaron Ross
today show
Jesus, I know that! If you like the show we would really appreciate it if you would subscribe
what did Jesus really look like? According to popular mechanics. com.
Did Jesus look like the typical depictions we see in most churches?
Was Jesus a Caucasian with long straight hair?
Probably not.
Unfortunately there is no description given of Jesus in the New Testament
nor is there any DNA samples or historically verified drawings either
this of course has left Jesus 's appearance open to artistic interpretation
WHAT!
not to be deterred Richard Neave a medical artist along with his team of British forensic anthropologists worked on a
way to come closer to what Jesus would've really looked like
aided in their work by an Israeli archaeologist
they determined that Jesus 's feature is most likely where that of a Galilean Semite
they were able to do this by analyzing Galilean Semite Skulls from the time of Jesus around the area of Jerusalem
they also referenced the Bible and drawings dating from the first century
the team used this analysis to determine a more accurate depiction of what Jesus would've really looked like
Well, let's go to the extreme than.
that prophesied that in keeping with the Jewish people of the time Jesus most likely wore a beard
probably kept his hair short with tight curls and was approximately 5 feet one and 110 pounds.
So, the next time using idealized image of Jesus
to remember what he probably really looked like. Our next story,
Jesus learn about Buddhism this is according to the Zen site. com
and paper by Rev.Jim Sanderson
there are some who believe that Jesus was familiar with and possibly influenced
by Buddhism. Ah BAM!!! Since the Bible has no account of Jesus from the age of 13 to 29
this opens the door to the possibility of a Jesus Buddhism connection.
From 13 to 29 what really happened?
The extent of Christ's exposure to Buddhism could vary depending on his whereabouts during his lost years
if his travels took him out of Judeo especially to the East
than his exposure to Buddhist influenced groups would've been highly likely
but also because Jesus grew up under the rule of the Roman empire which traded with many countries including India
distance from the center of Buddhism wouldn't have hindered Jesus from learning about this religion.
In a book titled "The unknown life of Jesus Christ" author Nicholas Notovitch claimed that in 1888 while visiting the monastery
in Himmis, near Kashmir he reviewed written passages that talk to Jesus 's time at the monastery
Haaaaa
This book was met with great criticism from the Christian church
and claimant to be a hoax.
Now though none of this can be substantiated
there are parallels between what the Buddha and Jesus both preached
both emphasize nonviolence turning the other cheek
living simply
and teaching through parables. Jesus taught the need to be active in the world
but to also be not of the world
the Buddha
taught similarly the need for nonattachment
But, unless some solid evidence is brought to light
will never really know what Jesus was doing or where he was from the ages of 13 to 29
but it's really interesting to think about.
Hold on. And our last story
was Jesus married with children:
Were going to hell now, according to the Guardian. com
in 1980 the Talpiot Tomb was discovered in East Jerusalem
Talpiot being a neighborhood in the southern part of East Jerusalem
inside the tumor were found 10 ossuaries.
Stone boxes that hold the bones of the deceased
what was found to be inscribed on these ossuaries were the names
Jesus son of Joseph, Mary and other names associated with the New Testament.
This of course led some to believe that this was in fact the tomb of Jesus and his family
What's more the tomb does indeed date to around the time of Jesus.
Adding to the idea is a documentary directed by James Cameron about this tomb and its connection to Jesus and his family…
So it's gota be for reals. Of course this has created quite an uproar with Christian community. He could a been resurrect
then had a family. If this could be proven to be a resting place of Jesus and that he did he have a wife and child
then the existence of his remains would mean that the resurrection could not have happened.
This in turn could completely change or perhaps end
the Christian religion.
But don't fret,
many scholars and archaeologists are not convinced that this is the tomb of Jesus
for one thing the names inscribed on the ossuaries were quite common for that time.
There just isn't enough concrete proof to be sure.
And as always if you have any comments or questions about the show please feel free to write them in the comments section.
