Researchers think new Shround of Turin proves major Jesus theory
A new study by Young Earth Creationist Otangelo Grasso has applied modern technology to the enduring mystery of the Shroud of Turin. Using AI, Grasso analyzed the bloodstain patterns on the famous cloth, which bears the image of a crucified man.
Grasso’s research specifically focused on the head wounds to determine the nature of the biblical “crown of thorns.” His analysis of the blood flow patterns led him to conclude it was likely a circlet, not a full cap.
He argued that the absence of wounds on the top of the head and the specific rivulets of blood support the theory of a low-seating wreath. This finding offers a potential physical description of the object used during the crucifixion.
The Shroud’s authenticity, however, remains highly contested. While many believe it is the genuine burial cloth of Jesus, its documented history only begins in the 14th century.
A Bishop from that era denounced it as a clever painting. This was seemingly confirmed by 1988 carbon dating, which placed the linen’s origin between 1260 and 1390.
Yet, a 2022 study using X-ray scattering suggested the fabric could be much older, potentially dating from 55-74 AD. This conflicting evidence keeps the debate alive.
Ultimately, Grasso’s AI-driven investigation adds a new layer to the ongoing discussion, attempting to bridge a centuries-old religious narrative with contemporary scientific analysis.
