anonymous murder victims, ancient archeological finds and suicides. but how would he approach a recreation of a face from 2,000 years ago? >> it's done in exactly the same way as you would handle a forensic case. there's absolutely no difference, except that in this case, a nice clean, prepared cast, rather than the original skull. then you make a copy of that, and that's mounted onto a metal stand. pegs are inserted into the skull at specific anatomical points, and these indicate the average thickness of tissue that you are going to get, say, there or there or there. >> neave's skull was rendered into an image by the bbc, and further developed by the artist donato giancola, with the help of neave and biblical scholars. the result is a startling image -- nothing like the jesus that history has imagined.
