I thought the question of what Jesus actually looked like was settled last summer when archeologists working on the Temple Mount uncovered this mural on a building dating back to 30 AD.
Archeologists say the building may have been used as a meeting hall for early Christians.
Full restoration is not complete, but apparently the paint used for the eyes was originally blue.
