It sounds to me like the Shroud leaves more questions than answers.

It’s cool, but I have a couple of questions.

I think the man portrayed looks more European than Middle Eastern.

Also, I got the impression Jesus’ burial cloths were wrapped around the body or wound around him, almost like a mummy, and the whole thing would have been heavily coated with myrrh and aloes. (John 19: 39-42)

I always wondered if a Crusader were crucified for some reason and the cloth had something to do with him.

Lots of things are plausible.

The winding could have been on top of the current Shroud.

Eternity alone, likely, will tell.

Thx
