  1. The Shroud of Turan was created in the 14th century and denounced by the Pope as a forgery in that same time. It remains an interesting artifact nevertheless. There's speculation as to how it was created. Some saying it may have it may have been some kind of an early photographic technique? Which if that's the case is pretty impressive in and of itself.

  2. The Shroud of Turin was made in the 14th century. That's a thousand years and more after these images here were made.

  3. Nothing of the sort happened. The Shroud was dated to be from the 14th century.

  5. Actually people's faces are not symmetrical. Take any photo of any face, cut it in half, mirror that side and put it back together and you get a different face.

  6. These images are separated from when Jesus supposedly was alive by hundreds of years. It's like if we tried to paint George Washington today with no other images of him. Washington sat for portraits while he was alive, Jesus didn't. So people had to use their imagination to depict Jesus.

  7. Well they were closer to cave people then than they were to us today. So the cave person depiction is not so far off. Especially in a far flung part of the Empire. The Middle East was a real backwater in Jesus' time. It's heyday was behind it then. Which was why Rome was able to conquer it.

  8. The Shroud of Turin is from the 14th century. So more than a thousand years after the art here.

  9.  @nancydunn3265  there's no record of the shroud before 1349 so where was it for 1,349 years? Did someone lose it behind their sofa? The fabric was carbon dated and the age is within 50 years of that date. It didn't exist when Jesus did. Simple as.

  10. So, Jesus had his own gang sign?
