When you see a man with a beard, doesn’t he somehow look dignified, or even important’? In the history of man, this has been the usual attitude towards beards. It was a sign of manhood.

That’s why you will find that in ancient times, when an important person was shown, he was usually shown with a beard. The Greek god, Zeus, was shown with a beard; drawings representing God showed a beard; Abraham, King Arthur, Charlemagne were always pictured with beards!
