The Shroud of Turin
ok.. this shit is beyond interesting and cool.... and as much as i think it will be someday placed in the ..Conspiracy Theories & The Paranormal, as of today it belongs here..... First question to ask... and its not if its HOLY or not but ask... how did this figure appear on this cloth... A series of experiments conducted by Italian researchers indicate the Shroud of Turin is likely authentic, but the team has not yet reached a definite conclusion. Decades of research on Jesus' proposed burial cloth have revealed an array of conflicting ideas surrounding the shroud's authenticity. However, researchers from Italy's National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development believe their findings undermine previous theories that the shroud was faked in the medieval period, the Telegraph reports. The new claim seems to be stirring controversy again, as many point to previous research to the contrary. Last year scientists were able to replicate marks on the cloth using highly advanced ultraviolet techniques that weren't available 2,000 years ago -- or during the medieval times, for that matter. Research in the 1980s suggests the image was "forged" on the cloth between 1260 and 1390, but scientists have determined the hypothesis was based on testing material from a patch likely used to to repair the cloth after a fire, the BBC reports. Since the shroud and "all its facets" still cannot be replicated using today's top-notch technology, researchers suggest it is impossible that the original image could have been created in either period. |

Re: The Shroud of Turin
The problem I have with this is that the face has a three dimensional appearance. If you were to drape a cloth over your face and were somehow able to leave an impression, when you lift the cloth and lay it flat, (as the shroud is presented in its display), you would see a distorted image. A three dimensional image on a two dimensional surface would appear distorted.

The pieces of the true cross ... the crown of thorns from the crucifixion ... the uncongealed blood of St. Ethelbert the Deranged ... the sacred shinbone of St. Wanda the Pole-dancer ...

Re: The Shroud of Turin
"After years of discussion, the Holy See permitted radiocarbon dating on portions of a swatch taken from a corner of the shroud. Independent tests in 1988 at the University of Oxford, the University of Arizona, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology concluded with 95% confidence that the shroud material dated to 1260–1390 AD" - wikipedia
