Italian Scientists Say That The Shroud Of Turin “Is No Fake”

The Shroud Of Turin (the cloth wrapped around Jesus after his crucifixion) has been the subject of controversy every since it was discovered. Scientists stated that the shroud was a fake made in the middle ages, but now Italian Scientists are saying that is not the case.

Experts in Italy from the National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Development have concluded that the burial cloth of Jesus could not have been faked. \

According to the Vatican Insider, the experts' report says “The double image (front and back) of a scourged and crucified man, barely visible on the linen cloth of the Shroud of Turin has many physical and chemical characteristics that are so particular that the staining which is identical in all its facets, would be impossible to obtain today in a laboratory … This inability to repeat (and therefore falsify) the image on the Shroud makes it impossible to formulate a reliable hypothesis on how the impression was made.”

Italian researchers say that there are currently no lasers that could replicate the markings and staining on the cloth and that the markings on the cloth could not have come from direct contact with a body. Previous investigations have proven that the markings could not have come from pigments or dyes.

The Italians scientists stated that the markings could only have come from “a short and intense burst of VUV directional radiation.” This technology did not exist in the time that the skeptics claim the cloth was forged.

These scientists could not offer up a way that these markings were created and believers feel that markings were created when Jesus rose from the dead following his crucifixion.
