Back in the eighties a carbon dating of the Shroud put it as medieval but this leaves loads of unanswered questions like how a perfect image of a crucified man with accurate wounds and bloodflows including the nail holes in the right place which no medieval painting shows . And it appears clearly in photographic negative .

A shame about some of the answers why bother if you have nothing constructive to say? Here is a few facts and opinions for you to ponder. 1) Isabel Piczek a world renowned artist is convinced its not a work of an artist.2) The bloodstains have been found to be genuine by forensic experts in fact since traces of DNA have been found. 3) Dr Sebastiano Rodante and others have pointed out that the blood flows are accurate and in fact the rivulets from the forehead are absolutetly characteristic of venous blood. 3)The whip marks are acurate and match the three pronged flagrum used by the Romans.4) To those who just say painting there is little evidence of paint pigment excep some dust which is more likely contaimination. These are just some of the facts there is hundreds more the Turin Shroud is not just a simple forgery as some sceptics like you to think but a genuine mystery if it was created in the middle ages who did it? and how ?and why? and if so he or she must have been a genuis!.

I don't know who or what created the Shroud of Turin. I don't worship a piece of cloth so it's not that big of a thing to me.

i read an investigation into the shroud by "knight & lomas". they had a theory that is was the shroud of a man called jaques de molay which may or may not be true.

the image that we are familiar with is a photograph from the 70s in negative and adjusted to enhance the image. the actual shroud in real life is so faded that nowadays the image is almost invisable. the man in the image is also in a reclined position as if on a bed with his feet raised. knight & lomas think that after this man was tortured by the inquisition he was left on a bed wrapped in his masonic shroud which he bled into. the lactic acid in his blood - which would have been very high due to the type of torture - then reacted with the frankincense in the linnen which masons used as a whitening agent. they also point out that the family which owned the shroud only took it out for the public about 50 years later when a roumer started that it was the shroud of the christ and started to make quite a profit from admissions.

this is just one of many theories but like many relics it seems that it is the people who really want to believe in miracles who decide that something is the image of christ or mary or whatever. at the end of the day, its just the image of a man with a beard, not too different from the image of the mona lisa on a piece of toast.

There are a couple of books that suggest it was a medieval experiment in photograhy. The theory makes a lot of sense as they explain the science necessary was not only simple, but available at the time.

btw, the bloodflows are NOT accurate, and can be shown to have been painted on the shroud seperate from the image.

lt was Nicodemus, the one who came to the Lord by night.

He bought this cloth and wrapped Jesus in it for His funeral
Those who don't care about it should stay off this topic.

It is merely a cloth used for squeezing out ancient tea bags. We all know difficult it is to get tea stains out
