25. Of COURSE it's a fake.
The image on the shroud is a representation of an orthogonal projection. It can be determined to be a hoax at a single glance.



Now think. How does a body wrapped up in a cloth "project" his image onto said cloth orthogonally??? The picture has depth! It's meant to be a realistic painting! The shroud would have had to be stretched out taut above him and then *flash* "resurrection energies" :eyes: would have to be emitted to produce the image.

Cover your face in paint. Lie down. drape a cloth over your face. Look at the cloth. Will it look like a face? Maybe somewhat, but would it like like this???:


2 seconds of critical thinking, people! I realized this when I was a kid looking at the Nat'l Geographic article in the '80s. My jaw has been agape for 2 decades at people who buy this.
