Shroud of Turin ‘blood’ proof factors to Jesus’ Crucifixion being ‘correct’
Analysis of the world’s most studied archaeological artefact the ‘Shroud of Turin’ has uncovered “facts” about Jesus’ Crucifixion.
It comes after artificial intelligence reimagined what the “face of Jesus Christ” looked like from the ‘Shroud of Turin’, a piece of cloth believed by some to have covered the saint’s body immediately after the Crucifixion.
An engineer from the University of Padua in Italy used modern technology to analyse any DNA, finding blood particles on the famous piece of cloth which showed evidence of organ failure, trauma and disease – in other words, what might have followed after being strung up on a cross for ages.

Typical materials for ancient Jerusalem were also said to be discovered, suggesting the holy cape originated there and not in Europe where many think it was forged.
The Shroud of Turin has long sparked debate with supporters insisting they can see Christ’s face imprinted on the fabric, while critics slam it as a hoax.
AI has since been used to reveal the “true face of Jesus”, with the Daily Express employing Midjourney to craft a simulation of the man believed by many to represent the figure behind the shroud.
The snaps produced display Jesus rocking his signature long hair and beard, adorned with injuries that seem to echo the aftermath of his lethal execution.
Some doubters argue the “shroud of the Messiah” could have been a cheeky creation by a 14th-Century artist, who might have used powdered pigment on a sculpture or living model. Yet legions of Catholics are convinced that the cloth immortalised Christ’s visage during his resurrection’s agony.
Decades ago, in the 1980s, carbon-dating tests dated the shroud within the 1300s timeframe, in line with its well-documented historical advent.

However, Dr Liberato de Caro challenged this narrative using innovative Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering technology, declaring that the venerable textile is commensurate with cloth from Masada’s renowned siege around 55-74 AD.
The scientist said: “Moulds and bacteria, colonising textile fibres, and dirt or carbon-containing minerals, such as limestone, adhering to them in the empty spaces between the fibres that at a microscopic level represent about 50% of the volume, can be so difficult to completely eliminate in the sample cleaning phase, which can distort the dating.”
