Jesus didnt pose for the painting it was made ca 500AD Quote Writing of their discovery in the journal Antiquity, the researchers conclude that the image was painted in the sixth century A.D., and “belongs to the iconographic scheme of a short-haired Christ, which was especially widespread in Egypt and Syro-Palestine, but gone from later Byzantine art.” Edited January 15, 2019 by Farmer77 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you understand my confusion with this claim I had to reread it a couple of times but basically it was tradition for old churches in this region to paint pictures of Jesus' baptism. This isnt really a painting of Jesus, its an artists interpretation of what Jesus may have looked like done hundreds of years after Jesus himself was gone. Basically its just an ancient version of those tacky candles they sell at gas stations. Edited January 15, 2019 by Farmer77 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlookerofmayhem Posted January 15, 2019 #15 Share Posted January 15, 2019 So somebody drew a picture of Jesus 500 years after his supposed lifetime. What exactly does this mean? 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankenhunter Posted January 15, 2019 #16 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I dunno. It's a pretty big stretch to call that Jesus. Was it actually documented someone painted or drew this? Looks like pareidolia in both pics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodie.Lynne Posted January 15, 2019 #18 Share Posted January 15, 2019 3 hours ago, papageorge1 said: I'll go you one better with a modern photograph with compelling story: Jesus Photograph Oy vey. So we have an unidentified couple, a claim of a "miracle" photograph which is a perfect headshot, and no idea of when this happened, and people just believe it automatically. And where is the actual photo now? Did the 'couple' donate it to the people who claim it is authentic? To me, the story behind the photo is about as compelling as the average religious glurge tale. Meaning not very. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sai Baba is considered to have miraculous powers and imprinted the image on the film paranormally. Of course that explains it.... magic. Why did we ever need to develop film in the old fashioned way, with darkrooms and developing fluid, if we could just do it paranormally ? The fact that photography didn't exist until the mid 19th century is not a show stopper for you is it ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
