Well, the face of Christ was beaten so bad He didn’t look human. The guy on the shroud was in pretty good shape. Christ’s scalp was torn apart by blows to the head with a rod while He was wearing a crown of thorns. The shroud fella showed no such trauma. In addition to these things, they also plucked out His beard. Since the Bible says long hair is shameful for a man we can conclude our Lord had short hair.
It degrades the incredible sacrifice Christ actually did make to assume the comparatively healthy chap on the shroud of Turin is our Lord. Let us not be ignorant of nor ungrateful for what terrible things Christ had to endure for our sakes.

You’re exactly right but the leaps in logic archeologist make, represented by this article, is stupid.

I too have pondered upon the sort of things you speak of, in relation to the Turin shroud, but this portion;

Since the Bible says long hair is shameful for a man we can conclude our Lord had short hair.

neglects that Jesus was a Nazarene.

If he were to have taken a vow of a Nazerite, included within the vow was prohibition to cutting the hair of one's head, or corners of the beard.

Samson was such a one or similar, it is understood.

Can you cite that for me? I missed that part (serious request, not being sarcastic).
