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.

I like the one with dog's butthole more

Sort of.

>>3128886

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?

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.

no

what image? are you really suggesting people couldn't see the face or body on the shroud until modern times?

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

There's only one Shroud of Turin though.

There aren't that many Lances of Destiny either.

>>3131299
the point I'm making is that relics were just made up all the time

>>3131300
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.

>>3131321
what's so hard to produce about a death shroud

>>3131337
Not having Jesus there to wrap it around.

>>3131344
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?

Proof?

>>3131431
>proof?
lets be fair, you dont want/care about proof.

>>3129154
That sure is something.

Fuck I remember when some fundie anon would post paragraphs text defending the turin shroud and claiming that it was magical.
Anybody else remember him?

Did this "replica" duplicate all the image properties of the Shroud?

>>3131929
yes

>>3132018

Imagine wiping your ass with the shroud.

>>3132047
ow the edge

>>3132054
I'm just saying it'd be a weird scenario.

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