A recent study employing advanced 3D modeling software has revived debate over the Shroud of Turin, an artifact believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
The research, led by Brazilian forensic expert Cicero Moraes, presents a digital analysis suggesting the image on the Shroud could not have been formed by wrapping the cloth around a full human form. Rather, it proposes the imprint may have originated from a flat or shallowly contoured surface, like a bas-relief carving.
“When you wrap a 3D object with a fabric, that object leaves … a more robust and deformed structure,”explained Moraes to the Telegraph.
