The Shroud of Turin is one of the most famous Christian artifacts of the Twentieth Century. Believed to contain the face of Christ, it first turned up in France during the Renaissance period, but by 1578, the shroud was moved to Turin, Italy, where it has been rarely shown in public. Father “Kim” Dreisbach, Jr. has spent the majority of his career studying the shroud with intentions of declaring it a hoax, but now, several years later, the shroud still manages to mystify him.
The shroud was photographed for the first time in 1898 where negatives gave the best image of the hidden face on the cloth. The photographer’s negatives showed more detail than could be seen by the naked eye. Dr. Robert Bucklin, a forensic pathologist, has examined life-sized photographic negatives of the shroud and discovered a series of bloodstains around the forehead, high in the scalp and along the posterior portion of the scalp. These are consistent with the application of a crown or a cap of thorns. On the chest area, there’s a rather unique wound consistent with a puncture type wound made by an implement which entered the chest cavity and produced an outflow of blood and water. In the region of the left wrist, there’s a puncture wound, which was clearly made by some implement, which passed into the tissues of the wrist and produced bleeding. All of these details are consistent with the Crucifixion. Although most crucifixions have been traditionally depicted with nails driven through the palms, modern research has confirmed that at the time of Jesus’ death, nails were driven through the victims’ wrists:
“The Romans did enough of these, sometimes 500 a day, to be excellent anatomists. And like a butcher, they knew where the bones were. They put it in the wrist and it held the body and held it well.” Father Dreisbach adds.

The shroud was made available to a number of scientists for the first time in 1978 who lifted particles from the shroud with adhesive tape. Biophysicist John Heller and chemist Alan Adler also determined that there was blood on the cloth along with chemical evidence of severe torture, consistent with crucifixion. Their findings, however, are not universally accepted. Some scientists, like Dr. Walter McCrone, have claimed that the shroud is a forgery-the work of a highly skilled artist who painted with tiny brush strokes.

In recent times, other scientists have used computer technology to study the shroud. Optical specialist Kevin Moran claimed his computer analysis revealed that the image has unique optical qualities impossible to duplicate that confirm the shroud’s authenticity. In addition to his findings, believers claimed that the absence of brush strokes on the shroud proves it is not a painting. However, skeptics have pointed out that Leonardo da Vinci’s brush strokes were often invisible. In an effort to resolve the controversies surrounding the shroud, the Vatican allowed samples to be cut from its outer edges in 1988.

Three universities were given a tiny piece of linen for carbon dating. Dr. Paul Damon, at the University of Arizona, headed the carbon dating team in the United States with his findings placing the shroud’s origin between 1290 and 1360 A.D. when it allegedly first appeared. The Vatican accepted the results of Paul Damon’s carbon dating as carbon dating tests in Switzerland and England confirmed Damon’s findings. The Vatican has refused to allow further testing, but it did approve a major restoration. However, recent findings suggest the carbon dating could be flawed - that only a reweave was tested, but not the true shroud. In addition to that, a fire that occurred in the shroud's past might have altered it's carbon signature, making any further carbon dating test invalid.

Love shroud docs.

I watched a History channel documentary , The Real Face of Jesus, that was an investigation of the shroud.

They talked about the carbon testing years ago too. The part of the shroud tested was also that area of the shroud most handled by investigator's and others over the years. Meaning, they said, the carbon test would reflect that.

Whereas in the Real Face documentary gthry performed some type of test that extrapolated days from the fibers where the Christ image appears.

What they found is astonishing.
The fibers showed they'd been penetrated with light photons. I.E strong light had radiated through the shroud fibers where the image was. Light imprinted that image.
As if Jesus returning into his glorified state while still wrapped in his burial shroud made an indelible image of himself into the shroud.
The light and the image penetrates to the fibers through and through.

I put this in another thread but want as many people as possible to know about this. It is too fantastic for me to wrap my mind around.

Photograph of the Moment of Resurrection

Upon seeing this evidence last night, I could hardly sleep. A video called The new astonishing phenomenon detected on the Shroud by International Institute For Advanced Studies of Space Representation Science, Palermo Italy found the Shroud of Turin is not a single image but a superimposition of many images. The highly technical and dry video uses phrases like, 'reconciliation shows orthogonal projection from the body onto the cloth, which does not occur in nature.' This means that IF the source of radiation were external to the body, the image would be distorted as radiation moves in waves and is seen in circumference patterns. The orthogonal projection (linear) from the body onto the cloth can only mean one thing; the source of radiation is from within the body.

One odd thing is the video concludes the body was placed in the prone position (face down). At 40-47 minutes of the video it details 4 areas of clear movement and multiple bursts of radiation to show the movement.

  1. The legs are incongruent with the soles of the feet.
  2. multiple location of inanimate objects (falling with gravity)
  3. the hands moved in union with the chest (breath)
  4. Nail in foot retracted as foot rotated 90 degrees.
That the legs are incongruent with the soles of the feet means the radiation projected the legs onto the cloth before the feet. The feet rotated and then another burst of radiation projected the new location of the sole of the feet onto the cloth. My guess is that unbelievers will simply ignore this evidence.

The Shroud of Turin has always intrigued me, there are those who believe and those that will always be skeptics and would rather believe in aliens than the existence of Christ, no matter the proof.
