Scientific analysis of the shroud of Turin. Interesting.
Comment below has been transcribed from the original email.
"By the way, it was probably looted by the 4th Crusade from Constantinople in 1204. It was apparently found walled up several centuries before in the Levant. Up until that time Jesus was always portrayed as clean-shaven prompted by the clean-shaven fashion in the Roman world in the first centuries AD. After its discovery, suddenly all representations of Christ show him bearded as in the Shroud. Traditional Jews in his time were bearded."
