The ISA Tile and the "Prince of Peace"
The "Prince of Peace" (left*) is a remarkable visionary painting done by Ms. Akiane Kramarik in 2003 when she was only eight years old! It depicts the "Likeness of Christ" as seen by her and envisioned from a model. Akiane has been acclaimed a child prodigy and is considered to be one of the world's top 20 greatest artists. Further, she is considered to be the world's first binary genius in realism art and poetry, both God-given talents, according to her. Although raised in an atheistic home (now Christian), and home-schooled with very limited television privileges, she began to experience visions of Jesus and Heaven at a very young age. Her parents soon began to believe her because the things she was saying and painting were nothing she had learned at home. She also has claimed to have visited Heaven and met Jesus Christ. For years, she prayed for the proper face to paint and suddenly, a stranger appeared and offered to model. She made sketches of him and soon produced her world-renowned painting.

Also, in 2003, four-year-old Colton Burpo, son of a Nebraska pastor, reportedly had a "Near-Death-Experience", NDE, after being admitted to the hospital for a ruptured appendix. He supposedly went to Heaven, sat on the lap of Jesus Christ, saw his great-granddad and met his miscarried sister, totally unbeknownst to him. He recounted things that had never been mentioned in his presence, and could have been known by him only if he actually went to Heaven. His father, Pastor Todd Burpo, wrote a book, "Heaven is for Real", depicting his son's incredible sojourn, and it has been on the New York Times Bestseller's List for over three years...with over 30 million copies sold worldwide. During Holy Week, 2014, a major motion picture by the same title premiered in theaters nationwide.
For years, young Colton was shown different images of Jesus Christ; and for some reason, however, none of them "looked quite right." In 2006, Pastor Burpo was searching the Internet and ran across the "Prince of Peace" painting by Akiane. He quickly called his son over to the computer to examine the painting. Colton pondered it for some time and finally said, "Dad, that one is right." He had identified the "Prince of Peace" as being the most accurate depiction of the "Likeness of Christ" that he had seen since his remarkable experience.

Completely separate, yet highly related...and years earlier, Phil Dayvault had discovered a small mosaic, the ISA Tile (right), in the depots of the Sanliurfa Archaeological Museum, Sanliurfa, Turkey, in May of 2002. It had taken over a year just to obtain official state permission to visit the museum depots, with photography privileges. This discovery was also the result of prayer, as Dayvault had traveled to Turkey seeking specific ancient oil lamps and was quite surprised when he discovered the mosaic in the inner-most sanctum of the depots. He immediately recognized it as having derived from the Shroud of Turin, the traditional burial cloth of Jesus Christ, as he had studied the Shroud since 1973. Dayvault and his outstanding translator/guide, Hafize, were told by the curator that the mosaic was the Muslim director's "most-prized-possession." Research by Dayvault later concluded that it had served as the model for numerous, ancient classical depictions of Jesus Christ.
In 2010, upon seeing Akiane's painting depicted in Pastor Burpo's book, Dayvault compared it with the ISA Tile, mainly out of curiosity. He prepared an array, or assemblage, of various superimposed photographs of the two images which had been taken at varying opacities. However, other urgent priorities relegated the comparison images to the "back burner" and were soon forgotten. Again, in 2013, he ran across them while seeking other photos and decided to make a brief video clip of the images. Dayvault's rationale was that if Colton's story were indeed true, and that he had "identified" Akiane's painting as depicting the most accurate "Likeness of Christ" that he had seen, then Dayvault needed to compare it with the physical and historical object he had found in the Sanliurfa Museum and which he later determined had served as the model for numerous ancient depictions of Jesus Christ. The ISA Tile Image is derived from the Shroud of Turin, the traditional burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Both the "Prince of Peace" and the ISA Tile are depicted "in LIFE" manner, as opposed to the "positive" image on the Shroud of Turin, which appears to be "in REPOSE", with eyes closed, and the "lights and darks" inverted from normal. When the "Prince of Peace" is compared to the "negative" image (normal lighting) of the Shroud, there are certainly visible similarities, but which are more readily discernible with the ISA Tile.
The video comparison yielded some remarkable similarities. While the comparison does not constitute a "facial identification", per se, the generally consistent similarities pertaining to appearance, pose, facial features and most importantly, historical attribution (both represent Jesus Christ), are extremely notable. In Dayvault's opinion, Akiane has profoundly captured the "Likeness of Christ" in her painting, the "Prince of Peace." A brief video clip depicting the Progressive Overlay Comparison of the images may be seen below.
"I feel humbled & privileged that my art is being recognized in the world of science." - Akiane.
