Unveiled Secrets: Shroud of Turin’s True Origin Shatters Millennia-Old Beliefs—Not Jesus, But a Statue?
Researcher Cícero Moraes used 3D modeling software to study how the fabric would have fallen over a human body versus a sculpture to make his conclusions. Moreover, those conclusions support the theory that the shroud was created in medieval times as a piece of religious artwork and is not an actual Biblical artifact.
New Evidence About The Shroud Of Turin Is Revealed By 3D Modeling

Arguments over the Shroud of Turin’s legitimacy have been happening since its first recorded appearances in the 14th century. Now, new research adds to this centuries-long debate, concluding that the shroud could not have been placed atop a human body and thus could not have been part of Jesus’ burial after the crucifixion at Golgotha following his condemnation by Pontius Pilate.
A new study published in the journal Archaeometry has found the Shroud of Turin, which features the faint image of a man with markings from a crucifixion, was likely created using a low-relief sculpture. The researcher used modeling software to analyze how the cloth fell over both the sculpture of a body and a real human body.
“The image on the Shroud of Turin is more consistent with a low-relief matrix,” Cícero Moraes, the 3D designer who specializes in historical facial reconstructions and was the author of this new study, told Live Science. “Such a matrix could have been made of wood, stone or metal and pigmented (or even heated) only in the areas of contact, producing the observed pattern.”
