How is it that the intensity of the image on the shroud translates into a near-perfect 3D image of a man?
It wasn't until a few years ago that we had the technology to recognize and capture that image...how did an artist capture that data on a linen cloth with an image that is no more than a micron or two deep in the fibers?
Either this cloth is the real deal OR it is the most amazing icon ever created.
And what would prevent a forger from using a statue covered in pigment? I'd suggest a real body except that that face is clearly not that of any real human.
How do you connect it to Jesus as opposed to any old body?
The statue theory has been discounted, Jenny.
Were the Romans in the habit of mocking ALL persons they crucified as a king with a crown of thorns? Were ALL crucifixion victims pierced in the side? How many times were the legs NOT broken like those of the Man of the Shroud were not?
etc, etc.
