The Shroud of Turin has been an intensely debated topic in the world of science ever since. According to him, ‘the presence of these biological nanoparticles found during our experiments point to a violent death for the man wrapped in the Turin Shroud.’ According to Elvio Carlino, a researcher at the Institute of Crystallography in Bari, Italy the cloth reveals the ‘great suffering’ of a victim ‘wrapped up in the funeral cloth.’Īccording to professor Giulio Fanti of the University of Padua, the blood contained high levels of creatinine and ferritin, substances found in patients who have suffered from devastating traumas like torture. The study says that the cloth contains ‘nanoparticles’ usually not found in the blood of someone healthy. The new findings, titled New Biological Evidence from Atomic Resolution Studies on the Turin Shroud, was published in a US scientific journal that was carried out by The Instituto Officina dei Materiali in Trieste and the Institute of Crystallography in Bari. Recently, researchers in Italy analyzing the shroud of Turin have discovered the blood of a torture victim on the cloth, thus supporting claims it may have been used to bury Jesus.
This has caused the shroud of Turin to become not only one of the most sacred relics but also one of the most mysterious. Every scientific attempt at replicating the image has failed so far. That seemed like a huge piece of evidence to dismiss the authenticity of the shroud, but soon researchers found that the carbon dating that came from the top edge of the shroud produced a much different date than a piece taken from the bottom edge of the cloth.īut here’s the thing: even if the image was from medieval times and not from the time of Jesus, there is still the mystery of how the image of the man was created in the first place. All three places confirmed that the material dated back to 12, which is more than a thousand years after Jesus was alive. The biggest focal point for skeptics is a carbon-14 dating conducted in 1988 where a small piece of fabric from the corner of the shroud was sent to labs at the University of Oxford, the University of Arizona, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Some say the blood on the cloth belongs to Jesus while some claim that the face of Jesus was painted on by counterfeiters in medieval times. But after years and years of studies, tests, and debates, they came to the conclusion that it is still hard to tell. The piece of linen, measuring 53 square feet and containing the faint image of a man, is believed by millions of Christians from around the world to be the cloth Jesus himself was buried in after death.Įver since a photo negative of the linen captured by Italian amateur photographer Secondo Pia revealed an image of a body over 100 years ago, scores of researchers have analyzed the image as well as the blood stains and fabric to try and confirm or dismiss the linen’s authenticity. Along with the Holy Grail and the Spear of Destiny, the Shroud of Turin is one of the most sacred religious relics on the planet.
