Members DevilRaysFan Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 Conversation between George Jefferson and Archie Bunker: Archie: God isn't black. George: Scientists have already proved that Jesus was an Ethiopian Archie: Well, the Ethopians say he was an Ethiopian, the Presbyterians say he was a Presbyterian,.........

Members Kaesh Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 Originally posted by Onkel Bob I'll probably live to regret this but would you care to elaborate? Assuming the Shroud of Turin is genuine (which is a whole another story), supposedly the man who has been wrapped in it can't have had dark hair, which together with the fact that it's not very likely he could've been born there white normally, makes the conclusion that he was an albino feasible. I've heard it in the news a year or two ago, but google doesn't yield much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it in the news a year or two ago, but google doesn't yield much. I seem to remember hearing about it that it was dated to around 1200 and that some people think it was actually made by Leonardo da Vinci... But also that scientists later found out that the dating might have been faulty and that the vatican haven't allowed a new testing since. I can see why...

The faulty dating is supposedly explained by a fire around that time. The biggest erm... mystery is how one would actually make a print of a man on a shroud that would look anything like it.

Members SA Rios Posted August 15, 2006 Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 According to forensic specialist, this is what they think Jesus resembled. Which is a lot more believable than the typical white dude we see. I think Christian artists early on started to make Jesus look more european to make Christianity more appealing.
