The Real Face of Jesus

The Real Face of Jesus is a History Channel documentary special that brings together a large and talented team of historians, anthropologists, scientists, and computer graphic artists to assemble the few clues left to us by history, such as the Shroud of Turin, to once and for all construct an accurate re-creation of the face of Jesus Christ. The Shroud of Turin has for centuries been the subject of great debate and speculation, as it has been often claimed to be the cloth that Jesus was buried in. This ancient relic is frail and brittle, but it mysteriously bears the imprint of a ghostly face. Using modern technology, the same team responsible for re-constructing Abraham Lincoln in 2009 will now digitally assemble the face of Jesus based on the evidence present. This series will also present a history of the Shroud of Turin, including its origin and the many adventures it has had over the years. The Real Face of Jesus is a revealing documentary that combines cutting-edge technology with ancient artifacts to answer one of modern civilization's oldest questions. MORE
