Project) member, co-author - Verdict on the Shroud
Conclusions of STRP (Shroud of Turin Research Project)
- What appears to be blood is in fact human blood
The image on the Shroud:
- Image elements are dehydrated cellulose - fibers that had aged more
than the other fibers, though the mechanism for that is unknown.
- The image is a surface phenomenon (doesn't penetrate the fibers like
paint)
- No directionality
- No deeper than 2-4 fibrils into the fabric
- No artificial pigments, paints or dyes used to create the image
- Is chemically and thermally stable
- The image is that of a crucified human
- There is no technologically feasible explanation for the image on the
shroud (emphasis added)
STRP - Unable to determine how the image got on the
cloth
