Turin Shroud was a fake

British scientists shared a shocking discovery – one of the largest shrines of humanity – the shroud of Turin – was a banal counterfeit.

This conclusion was drawn by researchers from the University of Liverpool and the Investigative Committee on pseudoscientific claims in Italy, writes Roliteka.

research revealed that traces of blood on the shroud of Turin could not remain wrapped in his body.

It was previously thought that this blood belonged to Jesus Christ crucified and that his wounds on his hands and feet had escaped him after death Scientists came to the conclusion that the shroud had nothing to do with the death of this man and was only of artistic value.

Although the radiocarbon analysis showed that the shroud of Turin dates back to 1260-1390 and could not belong to Christ, some experts have suggested that traces of blood can determine the details of whiplash, the torture and subsequent crucifixion of the one who was wrapped up.

It was thought that after washing the body, blood continued to flow from wounds on the palms, forearms, back, bones and legs.

The researchers conducted an experiment using a dummy and the participation of a living person to determine how the blood of different wounds would flow. Human blood and donor fluid with the same properties were used as samples. Different positions of the body were checked, after which the scientists compared the blood spots received with those available on the shroud. This method, known as blood splash analysis, is used by forensic scientists and criminologists

. for a supine position. In the first case, the man had to stand, raising his hands at a 45-degree angle, and in the second case, his arms raised vertically.

According to the researchers, all this indicates that the shroud of Turin has more artistic value. the falsification of the fourteenth century was used as an "illustration" of the execution of Christ.

Remember that Italian scientists have denied the theory of one of the mysterious Christian relics – the shroud of Turin, which would have wrapped the body of Jesus after the crucifixion.

As previously reported in the Zyu.ua, in the region of Bethsaida near Galilean Lake in the Jordan The park contained entrance gates in the biblical city of Cerus.

Moreover, Znay.ua wrote that many artists, who for centuries have portrayed Jesus Christ crucified, were wrong.
