"Shroud of Turin" may have been nothing more than a statue covering.

Recent modeling and 3D imaging of the fabled shroud showed that it was more likely used on a statue than on a human body.

A paper detailing the findings is found here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/arcm.70030

Did they ever figure out how the image got into the cloth? It’s not a burn nor painting.

Actually surprised that MAGATs didn't say that the person wasn't resurrected as Hulk Hogan.

Yeah, but my newly converted to Catholicism brother believes it’s 100% authentic. We’ve had the dinner table convo and there’s no moving him. And yes, I pointed out to him that it was the Catholic Church that originally pointed the shroud out as a fake, before they accepted it as authentic. Sigh…

And now in other news that actually matters to folks still alive in this shithole (oh, and your religion can go fuck itself).

"may have been".... much more likely than the "miraculous" explanation.

If you wrapped a clean stone statue with a dry cotton sheet, you'd never get that facial definition. The highpoint between the brow and the tip of the nose would mean the eyes would barely touch the cloth.

The Shroud of Turin is linen, not cotton.

linen/cotton same difference as far as staining/paint/dye is concerned.

Not really. They're different enough that even the same thickness of will drape differently depending on if it's linen or cotton. Also, linen is harder to dye than cotton is, the fibers just don't absorb the dying compounds very well.

So a dirty statue and wet sheet would do the job then...

So it must have been a divine miracle?
Miraculous dye job.
