The Shroud of Turin, also known as the Holy Shroud[ (Italian: Sindone di Torino, Sacra Sindone [ˈsaːkra ˈsindone] or Santa Sindone), is a length of linen cloth bearing the negative image of a man. Some claim the image depicts Jesus of Nazareth and the fabric is the burial shroud in which he was wrapped after crucifixion.

First mentioned in 1354, the shroud was denounced in 1389 by the local bishop of Troyes as a fake. Currently the Catholic Church neither formally endorses nor rejects the shroud, and in 2013 Pope Francis referred to it as an “icon of a man scourged and crucified”.[3] The shroud has been kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Turin, in northern Italy, since 1578.

In 1988, radiocarbon dating established that the shroud was from the Middle Ages, between the years 1260 and 1390. All hypotheses put forward to challenge the radiocarbon dating have been scientifically refuted, including the medieval repair hypothesis, the bio-contamination hypothesis and the carbon monoxide hypothesis.

The image on the shroud is much clearer in black-and-white negative—first observed in 1898—than in its natural sepia color. A variety of methods have been proposed for the formation of the image, but the actual method used has not yet been conclusively identified. The shroud continues to be both intensely studied and controversial

Various religions from ancient times all schedule instances where either dead people have been raised formt he dead, or the living have mysteriously disappeared and then reappeared, always with the same accompanying effects, a clap of thunder, a blinding flash of light etc.

Some researchers such as Simcha Jocobovici have argued that Jesus is just a copy of one pre-existing story or another, but none seem prepared to consider the obvious: that a machine exists capable of resurrecting the dead.

As recent documents note that from 1257AD onwards, every new inducted member of the Knights Templar had to kiss the Shroud, it is not surprising that the DNA material used from the Shroud to date it give a misleading date of 1260AD and the radio carbon dating is therefore useless and the Shroud should be taken seriously.

There are key facts that should be considered in the Biblical text of the resurrection of Jesus and associated with the Shroud of Turin:-

- The resurrection was accompanied by an angel.
- The image on the shroud is very, very shallow, being only a few millionths of a millimetre in depth. Simpy drawing a standard razor over it would remove it.
- The image caused by the very ends of the fibres being incinerated instantly, yet the cloth did not catch fire. It has been estimated that it would have taken a blast of light, raising the tips to over a million degrees for less than a millionth of a secodn to have done this.
- If the light causing the image had been by ordinary means or by lasers, it would have left just a blurry smudge. The only way for this to have been focused onto the cloth would have been by "slicing light", in other words, the body of Jesus was scanned as if in a photocopier.
- Closed coputerised analysis has indicated, incredibly, that the image on the shroud is PIXELATED, all be it very, very finely.
- The Jewish tradition meant that the shroud was wrapped around the body and strips were torn off to tied it into place. Those two strips were later re-attached to the edge of the shroud. As a result, had Jesus simpl come back to life, he would, in effect, have been trapped, roped in a body bag, unable to escape, so the resurrection must have been associated with physical movement form one place to another.
- The second person to enter the cave immediately concluded not that his body had been stolen but that he had risen. Why? This would fit with the concept that the shroud was still roped tightly closed, but his body was gone.
- When seen in the garden later, he was mistaken for the gardener. If he had moved during resurrection, then he would have been reborn naked and needed the nearest clothes available. It would make sense for him to have then either scrounged, borrowed, stolen or been lent clothes by the nearest person, almost certainly the gardener.

So, how would a resurrection be done?

Consider a machine that could scan the body of human into a system, turning the body from matter to energy in the form of light as it does so. The energy would be immense, but that given off by the matter to energy transfer would easily be enough on a bootstrap system. Once in the machine's memory, the fatal damage to the body is corrected and then the body is "downloaded" back into reality as a living person, using the stroed power from the disintegration to be able to power the recreation.

There was also a fire where the shroud was damaged but recovered before it was destroyed. And when a fire burns it deposits carbon everywhere and would have also been on the shroud. That was my theory why the carbon dating was off so far because new carbon had been deposited by the fire the shroud was in. I never heard of that theory being proposed.

What are people's opinions on the authenticity of the shroud?

If it's a fake it's very well done.


A recent BBC documentary here.

Behind ‘The Mystery Man’ and the Shroud of Turin​


All over the world men use their garages to store things their wives know they will never use again: weights, mountain bikes, model train sets. But only one man can claim to have kept a physiologically and anatomically correct, life-sized model of a tortured and crucified 33-year-old man in his garage.

For eight years.

That “Mystery Man,” as the Spanish art expert Álvaro Blanco called him, has now found a new home — he’s at the heart of an exhibition on the Turin Shroud, which opened Oct. 13 at Salamanca Cathedral in northwestern Spain.

The Shroud, which is said to have wrapped the body of Jesus Christ, is by far the world’s most widely studied relic. And it continues to be the object of scientific debate. For years, Blanco immersed himself in that discussion as he organized exhibitions about the Shroud and kept up with the latest developments. Finally, though, he realized he was taking the wrong approach.

Face of Jesus? AI recreates stunning likeness of Shroud of Turin image that many believe to be Christ​

New X-ray analysis seems to prove that the Shroud of Turin was indeed from Jesus Christ’s time – allowing artificial intelligence to recreate stunning images of what many believe could be Christ himself.

Christians have long believed that the treasured relic was the burial cloth of Jesus, showing an imprint of their Messiah’s face.

While dating analysis from the 1980s suggested it was actually a painted forgery from the 1300s, new X-ray dating evaluation suggests it was from 2,000 years ago, putting it in Christ’s time, according to a study published in the Heritage journal.

That knowledge has since allowed cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology to creating vivid, eerily lifelike renderings of the facial impression that believers are convinced was left on the cloth at the moment of Christ’s resurrection.
