The wounds on the man on The Shroud match those of Jesus Christ in the Bible. The crown of thorns, scourging, crucifixion, piercing on the side.

Whoever manufactured the shroud was following the story in the Bible and made sure the image adhered the description of the crucifixion.
Do you have a bible with photos ? I only have one with text. /s
A text that mentions scourging, a crown of thorns and a spear thrust in the side of the body.

It does not prove anything either way with regard to it being genuine or not, as a later forger/artist would have followed that, but if it is shown to be a genuine shroud with genuine marks then it makes it probable it was Jesus's.
