Shroud of Turin Matches Medieval Sculpture, Not a Human Body A fascinating 3D modeling study has provided compelling evidence that the enigmatic Shroud of Turin was created using a low-relief sculpture rather than a human body. This revolutionary research challenges centuries of debate surrounding the mysterious linen cloth that bears the image of a crucified man.

The study, published in Archaeometry, employs advanced digital modeling techniques to demonstrate that the proportions and characteristics of the shroud's image are consistent with medieval artistic practices rather than direct contact with a corpse. Brazilian researcher Cicero Moraes utilized sophisticated software including MakeHuman, Blender, and CloudCompare to create two distinct digital models for comparison (read on)
