In order not to injure the feelings of believers, we immediately make a reservation that it’s just a scientific version, but the truth, as said the ancient sages, always lies between the opposite glances. Therefore, in order to get closer to it, do not reject no facts, assumptions and opinions.
So, according to the publishing house Politeka, specialists Italian Committee for the Investigation of Pseudoscientific Theories together with British scientists at the University of Liverpool during impartial (as they put it) research came to the conclusion that on the world famous shroud, which allegedly was wrapped after the crucifixion the body of Jesus Christ could not stay traces of blood, as presented in the legend (namely the legend, since all the facts gathered in recent years about this Christian relics, it is refuted).
Scientists conducted an interesting experiment using a copy shroud and human participation (a mannequin was also a duplicate) with to determine what traces the blood oozing leaves on the canvas from wounds like those that the Savior received. For experiment donor blood was used.
This method, used in the analysis of blood spatter, is well known. in forensics. In this case, he showed that bloody spots on the shroud, in the form in which they are familiar to us, could have formed, only if the blood oozed from different angles. That is, Jesus must was not only to lie, but also to stand with arms raised at an angle of 45 degrees with your hands, and periodically raise and lower them. Approximately the same picture with the legs. Speaking more in plain language, a body wrapped in a shroud should have been specially create on it the desired (recognizable) fingerprint.

By the way, the radiocarbon analysis of the shroud, made already relatively long ago, showed that it was made in XIII – XIV centuries, and therefore the body of Jesus could not be wrapped in it. True, an explanation was immediately found that it was just a medieval copy a holy relic, and the original is hidden in some very secret place, let’s say in the underground vaults of the Vatican. So, the current research proves that not only the shroud, but also the imprint on her body of a man crucified before this on the cross – a fake.
Most likely, scientists say, the Shroud of Turin was created as a visual aid, a peculiar illustration of the execution of Jesus Christ, and only later from it intentionally or accidentally made “genuine relic”, and verify this authenticity throughout centuries was technically impossible.
