Even more evidence the Shroud of Turin is a fake, this time repudiating the people who repudiated the original 1988 study. What the wackos seem not to understand is scientists would love for this thing to be original. First century textiles are quite rare, and a textile used to cover a crucifixion victim, any cruicifixion victim, would be amazingly important.
I thought the Shroud was declared a fake in the 80s. Could anyone ever explain how the image was place on the fabric?
Posted by: Pat Johnson on November 15, 2002 04:12 PMThe most plausible - certainly the most exciting - explanation is that the Shroud is infact the world's first photograph. It's a hard claim to prove, but there are many aspects of the image that suggest a photographic origin, starting with the fact that the image is a negative.
