"No offense, but I believe that the man's face absolutely looks Semitic."

No offense taken, especially since I'm no expert and you may well be.

I've been trying to figure out just what would make a definitive statement on this question. We see posted here some scientific reports, certainly sounding scientific, though of unknown impartiality.

Wouldn't the word of an unquestionable authority -- for example, someone indisputably Semitic themselves, who might say in effect: "I recognize that face, it looks just like my Uncle Shem" -- wouldn't that end any possible debate?

Well, I live in Scranton, and we have a healthy Jewish population. In some folks you can see a Semitic look, others you can’t. I also know folks who look Jewish, but aren’t. People are so individual that one can never know with certainty. But to the point, when I see the Shroud, I see someone who very strongly resembles the historical representation of Jesus, if not Uncle Shem. Blessings, Bob
