Grenade attacks kill 11, injure 155 at easter mass shroud theory formed the Washington Post Washington scientists Are close to declaring the shroud of Turin an authentic human burial Sheet though not necessarily that of Jesus Christ or anyone living in his time. Scientists studying the religious relic which believers Ssu is the burial wino of Christ have reached a working hypothesis about How the image of the human face on the cloth might have been formed. The official report of the shroud of Turin research project has been re leased and concludes after scores of chemical and photographic tests that the cloth image is not a forgery. We can conclude for now that the shroud image is a real human the report said. It is not the product of an although the cloth can never be proved to be the shroud of Jesus scientists have been working for a decade to test whether anything about the cloth is authentic. Beginning in 1978, about 30 scientists formed the and hoc research group to travel to Turin to examine the famous shroud. The cloth itself is a 14-by-4 foot Sheet that bears a faint Straw coloured image of the front and Back of a bearded Man. Vague stains the image is so faint however that it appeared Little More than vague stains until High contrast photographs revealed Sharp detail in the image. Though the most important test of All is yet to come the dating of the shroud by the classical Carbon tests of Archeo logy the scientists believe they have ruled out a number of previous theories. The hand painted theory has been pretty much said Barrie Schwortz a photographer who was on the scientific team that travelled to Turin. He also ruled out the possibility that the image could have been the scorch Marks of a Metal statue exposed to a fire while wrapped in the cloth. He said the image was also inconsistent with the hypothesis offered by some believers that a burst of radiation from the body might have marked the cloth. The most popular theory with the group and the working hypothesis now is that the image was formed when the oils from the skin touched the surface of the cloth and adhered to it. The oils would Over time Discolour the cellulose in the Schwortz said.
