Thanks for the ping. More and more evidence points to the conclusion that it is the shroud in which Jesus was buried.

More and more evidence points to the conclusion that it is the shroud in which Jesus was buried.

If nothing else, look at the head wounds.

Now compare it with the Sudarium (head cloth) in Oviedo Spain.

The man was wounded before death with something that made his scalp bleed and produced wounds on his neck, shoulders and upper part of the back.

The blood (stain symmetry, type and other indicators) on the Sudarium matches the blood on the Shroud.

AND

The Sudarium contains pollen grains of Gundelia tournefortii, identical to that found of the Shroud that grows only east of the Mediterranean Sea as far north as Lebanon and as far south as Jerusalem.

We know the head wounds of Jesus were caused by the crown of thorns. How many crucified men were similarly crowned?
