Is the Turin Shroud just a meme?

It is likely just pareidolia, possibly augmented and touched up to be more obvious.obvious.
Pareidolia can be pretty fucking astonishing.
There is no profile of Jesus in attached image, for example.
Lucas Scott
I like the one with dog's butthole more
Nolan Kelly
Sort of.
Austin Barnes
If it was made in medieval times how would they know the image would only show up under X-rays when they had no knowledge of such things?
Jose Fisher
Because the forger was a genius in biochemistry, medicine, forensic pathology and anatomy, botany, photography and 3D computer analysis. His unknown and historically unduplicated artistic technique surpasses all great historical artists, making the efforts of DaVinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Botticelli appear as infantile scribblings.

what image? are you really suggesting people couldn't see the face or body on the shroud until modern times?
Kevin Scott
in the 16th century Erasmus noted that if you took all the relics in churches and monasteries in europe that were supposedly pieces of the true cross you'd have enough wood to build a fleet of warships
Jonathan James
There's only one Shroud of Turin though.
There aren't that many Lances of Destiny either.
Zachary Watson
the point I'm making is that relics were just made up all the time
Thomas Ramirez
It's a lot harder (literally impossible before recently) to reproduce a Death Shroud like that though.
All you have to do to claim a piece of the True Cross is find some old wood from the Levantine desert.
Christopher Taylor
what's so hard to produce about a death shroud
Dominic Cook
Not having Jesus there to wrap it around.
Colton Gonzalez
we don't have any idea what jesus actually looked like or if he even existed

do you have a point to make or not? There are no primary sources from the life of Jesus, no descriptions of his appearance made by people who actually saw him, so how the hell do we know if its his death shroud and not someone else's?

we can...

Proof?
Dylan Hughes
>proof?
lets be fair, you dont want/care about proof.
Carter Evans
That sure is something.
Logan Roberts
Fuck I remember when some fundie user would post paragraphs text defending the turin shroud and claiming that it was magical.
Anybody else remember him?
Matthew Davis
Sebastian Moore
Did this "replica" duplicate all the image properties of the Shroud?
Daniel Diaz
yes
Noah Peterson
I doubt that
Brayden Turner
Imagine wiping your ass with the shroud.
Luis Ramirez
ow the edge
Adrian Perry
I'm just saying it'd be a weird scenario.

>properties
what properties does it have besides being old cloth?
