Shroud of Turin Proved to be Fake by New Study Employing 3D Imprints

In late August of this year, researchers had stoked the flames of hell, claiming that a piece of cloth found 2,000-years-ago, was indeed, the Shroud of Turin. Now this hotly contested claim has been refuted by a new analysis that used virtual simulation software. The researcher in question has shown that the Shroud was likely created by pressing a cloth over a flat or shallowly contoured surface, such as a bas-relief or carved figure, rather than a full human form, effectively removing Jesus of Nazareth from the equation.

Jesus not Christ: Science to the Rescue!

Cicero Moraes’s recent forensic research has been published by Elsevier, adding another layer to the long-standing debate over the Turin Shroud. Moraes, a specialist in forensic facial reconstruction, argues that if the shroud had indeed been wrapped around a human body, the resulting image would appear heavily distorted due to the natural contours of a three-dimensional form.

“When you wrap a 3D object with a fabric, and that object leaves a pattern like blood stains, these stains generate a more robust and more deformed structure in relation to the source. So, roughly speaking, what we see as a result of printing stains from a human body would be a more swollen and distorted version of it, not an image that looks…
