Document Summary
Good example of bad science and people in denial. Used to confirm that the resurrection occurred. Classified as the greatest paranormal event of all time. Cloth shows the front and back side of a human being. Faded or light impression with face, arms crossing, legs. Make the image negative, it becomes clearer. Cloth dated to the 14th century but there are earlier recordings. Sturp catholic scientists, agree that it is jesus" shroud. They want to show that it is blood and a real human and they come to the conclusion that it is jesus not just a cloth of a man jumping to the conclusion that it is jesus. Guy who did pollen test forged/created hitler"s diary. No record of it before 1353, church displayed it when it opened. Pope was skeptical and sent people to investigate it and they returned saying said it was painted and created through greed. Body cleaned after death so no blood stains.
