nanidee: sweety, heavy make-up aint my thing. Just give me my tinted moisturizer and lip gloss, and I am good to go

Just watching people apply layers and layers of make-up makes me pity the skin beneath.

But to each his own, if that's what works for them, then who am I to stop them?

hmmmmm

Judas Gospel Authentication Relied On Ink Of
Ancient Egyptian Documents, Scientists Say

A long-lost gospel that casts Judas as a co-
conspirator of Jesus, rather than a betrayer,
was ruled most likely authentic in 2006.
Now, scientists reveal they couldn't have
made the call without a series of far more
mundane documents, including Ancient
Egyptian marriage licenses and property
contracts.
The Gospel of Judas is a fragmented Coptic
(Egyptian)-language text that portrays Judas
in a far more sympathetic light than did the
gospels that made it into the Bible. In this
version of the story, Judas turns Jesus over
to the authorities for execution upon Jesus'
request, as part of a plan to release his spirit
from his body. In the accepted biblical
version of the tale, Judas betrays Jesus for
30 pieces of silver.
As part of a 2006 National Geographic
Society (the Society) investigation of the
document, microscopist Joseph Barabe of
McCrone Associates in Illinois and a team of
researchers analyzed the ink on the tattered
gospel to find out if it was real or forged.
A fragment of the Gospel of Judas with
writing.
Some of the chemicals in the ink raised red
flags — until Barabe and his colleagues
found, at the Louvre Museum, a study of
Egyptian documents from the third century
A.D., the same time period of the Gospal of
Judas.
"What the French study told us is that ink
technology was undergoing a transition,"
Barabe told LiveScience. The Gospel of Judas'
odd ink suddenly fit into place. [ Religious
Mysteries: 8 Alleged Relics of Jesus]
CSI: Ancient Egypt
Barabe and his colleagues specialize in
thorough investigations of old — or
supposedly old — documents and artwork.
The chemical composition of inks used can
reveal the difference between something
authentically ancient and a forgery. In 2009,
Barabe helped expose a gospel called the
"Archaic Mark," which some claimed was a
14th-century manuscript, as a modern
forgery. He's also worked with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation to detect forged
paintings.
A call from National Geographic, however,
was a "big deal," Barabe said. "It was both
thrilling and an honor," he added.
The Society wanted to find out if the Gospel
of Judas, discovered in the 1970s, really
dated back to early days of Christianity or
whether it was, like Archaic Mark, a fake.
Barabe brought together a team of
scientists with a variety of specialties, and
they ran the Gospel through an intensive
analysis of microscopy and spectroscopy.
[ See Images of the Ancient 'Gospel'
Documents
]
At first, their findings offered little hope that
the Gospel of Judas was real. The document
was written in two inks — black and brown
— mixed together. The black was an ink
called "lamp black," which was consistent
with the inks used in Egyptian writings from
ancient times and into the third century,
Barabe said.
But the brown ink was more mysterious. It
was an iron-rich ink called iron gall, but it
lacked the sulfur usually found in inks of this
sort. The pressure was on to explain the
difference.
"One thing that made this a little bit more
dramatic than we would have liked is, we
did the sampling in the third week of
January of 2006, and the press conference
was already scheduled for the third week in
April of that same year," Barabe said. "So we
had three months to turn this critter around
with a conclusion, and it really put an
enormous amount of pressure on us,
because we were faced with what was
essentially a three-month rush project."
Authenticating the gospel
Some facets of the document did suggest
authenticity. The most promising of these
characteristics, Barabe said, was that the ink
wasn't piled up in the warped papyrus,
suggesting the document was written
before the warping happened. Had
someone tried to write on a pre-warped
papyrus, the ink would have gathered in
crevices and dips — a sure sign someone
had intentionally tried to make new papyrus
look old. Instead, the Gospel seems to have
been written on flat papyrus and aged
naturally. National Geographic also
commissioned other analyses of the Gospel,
including radiocarbon dating, script analysis
and linguistic style.
Barabe hit the books, looking for other
studies on early Egyptian inks. The study of
Egyptian marriage certificates and land
documents
from the Louvre proved to be the clincher.
That study found that contracts in Egypt in
the mid-third century were written in lamp
black ink, in the traditional Egyptian style.
But they were officially registered in the
traditional Greek style, using brown iron gall
ink.
The Louvre study findings suggested to the
team that the presence of both inks was
consistent with an early date for the Gospel
of Judas, Barabe said.
What's more, the Louvre study found that
the metal-based inks from this time period
contained little sulfur, just like the ink on the
Gospel of Judas.
The discovery gave the researchers the
confidence to declare the document
consistent with a date of approximately A.D.
280. (Barabe and his colleagues caution that
this finding doesn't prove beyond doubt
that the document is authentic, but rather
that there are no red flags proving it's a
forgery.)
"There was definitely a point where, all of
the sudden, I just kind of relaxed and said,
'This is probably just fine,'" Barabe said.
Barabe presented the behind-the-scenes
story of the Gospel of Judas investigation
today (April at the annual meeting of the
American Chemical Society in New Orleans.
After the National Geographic investigation
of the Gospel of Judas, the document was
returned to the Coptic Museum in Cairo.
