Brazilian 3D designer and researcher Cicero Moraes, an expert in the reconstruction of historic faces, found that The image on the canvas is more of a work of medieval art rather than a imprint of the real human body. According to his analysis published in Archaeometry magazine The Turin canvas never covered the body of Jesus Christ.
“The image on the Turin canvas corresponds to a low relief rather than a direct imprint of the human body,” Moraes said. In his use, he used digital modeling to compare how the substance is applied to the human body and how it is applied on a flat statue.
The results showed that the characteristic image of the canvas can only be created by applying it to a low relief, not on the three -dimensional human body. Moraes explained that when trying to transfer a three -dimensional surface to a flat substance, there is a deformation that does not occur on the canvas.
The first mention of the Turin screen dates back to the 14th century. The carbon dating in 1989 determined its origin between 1260 and 1390, more than a thousand years after Jesus’ death. Nevertheless, there are people who insist on its authenticity.
Professor Liberato de Caro claims that he has proved that Rubáš dates from the period of Jesus’ death through the new X -ray method. However, many experts have already questioned his method as unreliable. In addition, De Caro is a strongly believer Catholic.
“The easiest explanation is that the canvas was laid on a sculpture coated with a pigment that was transferred to the fabric,” said forensic scientist Dr. Lawrence Cobilinsky. Despite these evidence, the Turin canvas remains an important relic for many believers.
