Shroud Of Turin, Jesus' Proposed Burial Cloth, Is Authentic, Italian Study Suggests

JUST FUR YA

A series of experiments conducted by Italian researchers indicate the Shroud of Turin is likely authentic, but the team has not yet reached a definite conclusion.

Decades of research on Jesus' proposed burial cloth have revealed an array of conflicting ideas surrounding the shroud's authenticity. However, researchers from Italy's National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development believe their findings undermine previous theories that the shroud was faked in the medieval period, the Telegraph reports. The new claim seems to again be stirring controversy, as many point to previous research to the contrary.

Last year scientists were able to replicate marks on the cloth using highly advanced ultraviolet techniques that weren't available 2,000 years ago -- nor during the medieval times, for that matter.

Research in the 1980s suggests the image was "forged" on the cloth between 1260 and 1390, but scientists have determined the hypothesis was based on testing material from a patch likely used to to repair the cloth after a fire, the BBC reports.

Since the shroud and "all its facets" still cannot be replicated using today's top-notch technology, researchers suggest it is impossible that the original image could have been created in either period.

just stumbled upon this. thought i would share.

this has been the object of speculation for years now. are we another step closer to solving that mystery? or is it now solved? or will it ever be?

Jesus is real...but this shroud...hmmmm...

Didn't the first tests show it was a medieval fake ?

I suppose you just keep doing tests till you come up with the outcome you wished for.

Have you seen the documentary on where a scientist, recreated what Jesus really looked like by using the shroud? He correctly used all the propotions and stuff, but since Jesus was badly beaten, the end result displayed a partially damaged image of Jesus. One with a likely broken nose and bruses. Very interesting.

As for authenticity, i am inclined to believe that it is real, for the reasons stated in the article
