Jesus Tunnel
Wednesday, 7th September 2005 by Alex Turnbull
Looks like yet another person has been keen to write 'Jesus' on a hillside, this time over the entrance to a tunnel near Barueri city, Brazil.
I'm not quite sure what Jesus had to do with the construction of this tunnel.. but it's actually quite cool nonetheless, as it travels for quite a way through the mountain, eventually reappearing down here.
Thanks to Tom B, Sight, Cesar Andrade and Christoph Suwelack.
About the author
Alex has decided that his title will be Senior Vice President of Stuff.
Looks like the stretch of road is under construction, if you go down more, there is another (shorter) stretch of tunnel as well.

Well, the guy who wrote it probably believed that Jesus was actually God incarnate, so, Jesus in fact created the hill that the tunnel goes through, as well as creating the materials used for the tunnel and the people building the tunnel.
In the beginning was the Word [Jesus], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
Maybe it was built by a guy names Jesus – pronounced hey-soos – not an uncommon name in Latin countries.
I see guys with “Jesus” nametags on their cars all over here in Phoenix. Most of them seem to be fond of fish……

It’s Rodoanel in Brazil. It’s already done, but these images are 3 years old. No idea abou the “Jesus”. Definitively, this isn’t a common name in Brazil [I live there =]
Rodoanel links major highways in São Paulo: Régis Bittencourt, Raposo Tavares, Castello Branco, Anhangüera and Bandeirantes.
See ya!

Jesus is NOT pronounced “hey-soos” in Brazil, because in Brazil we speak portuguese, and the J sound in portuguese is different from the spanish J sound. J sound in portuguese is more similar to english J sound… like in JAR.
