And because this area was a land bridge between Europe, Africa, and Asia, it created a population of amalgamated ethnic groups. Thus, Jesus\' complexion was neither that of a northern European nor a Sub-Saharan African; but, it would have been somewhere between these two ends of the spectrum, just as today in that part of the world people have a variety of skin colors.

quizCorrectChoice: 0,
quizcorrectDetails: 'Based on General Lew Wallace\'s best-selling novel. Ben Hur is often called the best Bible movie of all time, which may have something to do with the fact that the engaging plot has little to do with the Bible. The movie is masterfully set in these times, beginning with Jesus\' birth and ending with his death. Yet, Jesus only makes brief cameos, and the camera never shows his face; only the faces of those looking at him (a technique that\'s used very well). '
