CNN Video - "What did Jesus look like?"

I was perusing the news on cnn.com this morning and watched an interesting video clip about what Jesus might have looked like. They interviewed a forensic artist that used a skull of a 30-some year old man who died approx. in early 1st century and whose remains were found near the same place Jesus lived and ministered. So, while this is obviously not the face of Jesus, maybe it gives some insight into what other men of that time/place looked like.

Another interesting aspect of the video was the quick flashing of different faces that artists have given Jesus over the centuries. It really is astonishing to see how differently he has been rendered depending on the age and culture in which the art appears. The image that really grabbed me was of an Asian Jesus.

Here's the link for the video. If it doesn't work you can head over to cnn.com and check it out if you're interested.
