Researcher makes bombshell claim about Shroud of Turin
A new study by a Brazilian designer suggests the imprint on the Shroud of Turin may have originated from a shallow sculpture rather than an actual human body.
The Shroud of Turin, a 14ft by 3.6ft linen cloth, emerged in the 1350s bearing a faint image that many believe to be Jesus Christ.
Cicero Morares used 3D digital modelling to compare how fabric forms impressions from a full human body versus a sculpture.
The research found that the contact pattern generated by the sculpture was more compatible with the image observed on the Shroud.
This methodology supports the hypothesis that the Shroud's image is consistent with an artistic low-relief representation, suggesting it is a medieval work of art.
