After doing more research on his remains, the researchers found out that Moses wore his hair short and did not sport facial hair. As you can see, this description did not match the way that Jesus Christ had been portrayed in various works of art! If you check out sculptures and paintings, you will see that the artists always depicted him with long, straight hair. This was usually used for women and divine entities.

After inspecting all the evidence and artifacts, Joan Taylor learned many interesting things. For one thing, she found out that painters had been correct about the facial hair. Men back then typically had long hair and facial hair because they were always on the road. When you are traveling, it would be hard to cut your hair, shave your beard, and groom yourself in general! Jesus and his disciples had to travel often, so their body hair probably got very long and bushy with the passage of time. This is also a good way to explain why Moses was also depicted with a beard in many illustrations!
