[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mountain Man: [QB] As far as the Romans go the oils that they used in the baths were scraped from the body with dull bronze blades,this was to remove dirt and dead skin. They did not have soap until the Celts showed them how to make it. Then they soaked in hot stand up baths fed by hot springs where possible and by running streams that flowed into baths heated by furnaces that were under the stone floors. They built these baths every where they settled,even army bases. This has been known for many years. The Bath houses in England from which the city of Bath gets its name are a prime example. As far as Jesus' appearance goes I believe that a first hand eye witness account by an uninvolved observer is a little bit more likely to hold water than a reconstruction even if based on good evidence of the general type of people that lived in the area. A Nazarene of the house of David was not likely to share many characteristics with those who had interbred with the earlier tribes that the Israelites had displaced,or the Greek and Minoan people such as the Philistines. Semitic people came in several varities back then. Herod Was of the dessert people and had no real family ties among those he ruled,thats why the romans put him in power. [/QB][/QUOTE]
