  24. John This is an interesting and fascinating subject. Thank you for a well researched and well presented account of this artefact – something that has interested me for some time. This is an item of interest that religious leaders have, wrongly, claimed for themselves and for their religions. It is an item that should be available for all to see and in the interests of humanity and honesty, should be freely available to be very carefully examined, as new technologies develop. With the exception of the unexplained origin of the image itself, you have made great attempts to (successfully!) explain the background history, testing methods and analyses. The carbon dating anomaly, that you raised, is most interesting and worthy of further reading! The flaw, however, is in linking these findings and explanations, to the bible – a collection of legends, folk tales and myths, initially passed on by the oral tradition, later written down by “scribes” - some of whom were monks and religious leaders – and therefore had an agenda. A massively unreliable, collection of many disparate documents, especially when you consider that some of the “cornerstones” of the NT bible – The Gospels, are known to have been written long after the events described. Some documents, were allegedly written “at the time”, by scribes who did not witness the events themselves but were recording the reported speech of people who claimed to know what happened, not necessarily reliable witnesses. Documents, in some cases, written hundreds of years after the event (based on hearsay) and NOT, in every case, by the people who's name they carry. There were more “Gospels” written but they “did not make it to the final version” after the bible was meddled with, in The Middle Ages – altered and edited by religious translators and editors. Who knows what was lost? Add to that, translations from the “original” tongue, Aramaic- to Greek and then the subsequent retranslations, to many other languages, there is every reason to be wary of regarding what is presented as being, even approaching, a true historical record. Yet for some reason many people, indoctrinated from birth, take it all literally and disregard the many inconsistencies? Later translations, edits, versions and author's opinions has made the final assembly of volumes, at best, unreliable. It is an interesting collection of tales (some enhanced by Chinese Whispers) but in no sense, to use the modern meaning of the word, is it the “gospel” truth. And when considering that the stories, as stated, were written long after the events described, it can be seen that there is ample opportunity for religious zealots, to “fit their own facts and agendas to the evidence” and produce “written evidence” that this was their crucified deity.,,,,,and the opportunity to enhance the story with the reference to an empty tomb etc. It was, almost undoubtedly, as the evidence and your explanation shows, an unexplained image of a crucified man - maybe even a man called Jesus but since the bible is inherently unreliable and (like the texts of other monotheistic religions, certainly man-made), there is no scientific reason to associate the evidence of the demise of this brutally tortured and sadistically killed, man with any religious superstition, or the dubious texts of any non evidence based faith system. (Faith being a by definition, non evidence based belief).
