I saw that too. They took a skull that was dated from the same time
period as jesus, then constructed what he probably looked like based on
the skull. It definitely didn't look like your typical picture of jesus.
Was very cool to see though.

They did something like that on History or Discovery channel. The image
of Jesus with the long hair and such is just an image. On this special,
they took composed a bust of Jesus by comparing other evidence as to
what people looked like back then. He looked like any other person
living in that part of the world 2000 years ago.

  > That ugly Blue Statue

  Oh yes, and European sculptors wouldn't make the Virgin Mary and Jesus
  out to be white, would they?

  Gosh, imagine if they considered where Jerusalem was in the world and
  then considered the color of their skin <g>
