My Friends,

This is yet more proof of Jesus, and its been confirmed in other places: Archaeology News - 3D analysis reveals Shroud of Turin image likely came from sculpture, not Jesus’ body

 

A scientific paper here.

The Shroud has a number of very interesting properties associated with its image. The image is very superficial and only a few micrometers deep. One of the most interesting features of the image is that it appears to be very similar to a photographic negative image. Secondo Pia took the first photograph of the Shroud of Turin in 1898  [3] . When he examined the negative of his photo, he was amazed at its detail compared to the Shroud itself. A negative of the Shroud image in Figure 1 is shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Negative of Durante image shown in Figure 1. This negative was calculated by converting Durante’s image to the CIELab color space, where the L dimension gives image intensity, and a and b are color dimensions  [4] . Next the color a and b dimensions were set to 0 and the pixels in the resulting image were inverted by first determining the maximum value of the L pixels, Lmax. Then each pixel’s intensity value, L, was replaced with Lmax minus L. Figure 2 was made by converting the resulting CIELab image back to an RGB image and then using the Matlab imshow.m function to display it. Thus, Figure 2. contains a negative of the image intensity of Durante’s image in Figure 1. Note that Pio’s image being a photographic negative also had the order of its rows reversed with the result that items are shifted from top to bottom in Pio’s image. For example, in Pio’s negative image the wrist wound circled in Figure 1 is on the left arm. Figure 2 contains the same intensity information that Pio’s negative image contains. Further the intensity in Figure 2 has an almost perfect correlation to the intensity of Durante’s Shroud image.

 

WOW:

It is also a day that puts a widely
0:02
debated religious icon in the spotlight,
0:04
the Shroud of Turin, which some believe
0:06
to be the actual burial cloth.
0:08
The cloth does indeed date back to the
0:10
time of Christ. And with artificial
0:12
intelligence having something to say
0:14
about the shroud as well. Deep inside a
0:16
supercomput, lines of code scroll past
0:19
as an AI analyzes millions of data
0:22
points from a single object, the shroud
0:24
of terin. It isn't looking for a face or
0:28
stains. It's hunting for order in the
00
chaos of ancient fibers. Suddenly, it
04
stops. The machine has found a signal, a
07
repeating mathematical symmetry hidden
09
beneath the visible image. This is a
0:42
pattern that no medieval artist could
0:43
have created, and no known natural
0:46
process can explain. Scientists are now
0:48
trying to figure out what this
0:50
impossible discovery means for one of
0:52
history's most controversial artifacts.
0:55
The code in the cloth, the shroud of
0:58
Turin, a 14 ft long linen. For
1:01
believers, it's a sacred relic. For
1:04
skeptics, it's an ingenious medieval
1:07
forgery. It's funny when you think about
1:09
it. We've put people on the moon, mapped
1:12
the human genome, and decoded the atom,
1:15
but we still can't agree on a single
1:17
piece of fabric. The whole debate seemed
1:20
settled back in 1988. Three separate
1:23
labs used radiocarbon dating on a
1:25
sample, and all came to the same
1:27
conclusion. The cloth was from the
1:29
Middle Ages, somewhere between 1260 and
12
1390. Case closed. The story was over,
15
but it wasn't. That's because the shroud
17
has always been full of strange details
19
that just don't add up. When an Italian
1:42
lawyer named Sakondopia took the first
1:44
photograph of it back in 1898, he made a
1:47
jaw-dropping discovery. In the dark
1:50
room, the photographic negative revealed
1:52
a stunningly clear positive portrait of
1:54
the man. The image on the cloth was in
1:57
effect a photographic negative centuries
2:00
before photography was even invented.
2:03
That alone is a wow factor that should
2:06
make anyone pause. How is that possible?
2:10
Furthermore, the image is unbelievably
2:12
superficial. It rests only on the
2:14
topmost microfibers of the linen threads
2:17
with a depth of just a few hundred
2:19
nanome. For comparison, a human hair is
2:22
about 80,000 nanome thick. The color
2:25
doesn't soak into the cloth like paint
2:27
or dye. There are no brush strokes, no
20
directionality. It's more like the
22
fibers themselves were chemically
24
altered in a way that produced color.
27
Scientists tried everything to replicate
29
it. They used heated statues, acid
2:42
painting, and dust transfers. They got
2:45
close, but could never reproduce all the
2:48
unique properties of the shroud's image.
2:50
And here's where it gets even weirder.
2:52
The image contains accurate
2:54
three-dimensional information. Back in
2:56
the 1970s, researchers at the Air Force
2:59
Academy used a VP8 image analyzer, a
3:03
device designed by NASA to map the
3:05
surfaces of planets on a photo of the
3:08
shroud. They discovered that unlike a
3:10
normal photograph, the image intensity
3:13
corresponded directly to the distance
3:15
between the cloth and a
3:16
three-dimensional body. Darker parts of
3:18
the image, like the tip of the nose,
3:21
were closer and lighter parts were
3:23
farther away. They generated a perfect
3:26
three-dimensional relief map from a
3:28
two-dimensional image. No painting or
30
simple photograph has ever been known to
32
contain that kind of spatial data. This
35
is the puzzle scientists have been stuck
37
on for decades. A medieval date with
3:40
seemingly futuristic technology embedded
3:42
in the cloth. It's a total
3:45
contradiction.
3:46
But now artificial intelligence has
3:49
entered the debate. And it didn't just
3:51
join the conversation. It blew the whole
3:53
thing wide open. Researchers fed ultra
3:56
highresolution digital scans of the
3:58
shroud into powerful neural networks.
4:01
These AIs weren't programmed with
4:03
preconceived ideas about faith or
4:05
history. Their only job was to find
4:07
patterns. What they found is something
4:10
scientists now admit they cannot
4:12
explain. The AI detected a hidden layer
4:14
of digital information, a complex system
4:17
of faint geometric symmetries and
4:19
repeating mathematical ratios across the
4:21
entire image. It found a structured
4:24
order that has nothing to do with the
4:25
image of a man. It's like finding a
4:28
hidden watermark or a ghostly blueprint
41
embedded deep within the fabric itself.
44
This isn't just an image. It's a
46
meticulously organized data set. The AI
49
confirmed the three-dimensional
4:40
properties, but with far greater
4:42
precision, showing a mathematical
4:44
consistency that would be almost
4:46
impossible for any forger to achieve.
4:49
More than that, it found recurring
4:51
patterns and alignments in the face,
4:54
hands, and torso that obey a specific
4:56
geometric logic. This isn't the work of
4:59
an artist's hand. It looks more like the
5:02
output of a sophisticated process.
5:04
Scientists are now faced with a
5:06
mindbending reality. The world's most
5:08
famous relic might be a highly advanced
5:10
piece of information technology created
5:13
by a process we still don't understand.
5:16
To grasp why the AI's discovery is such
5:18
a bombshell, we have to go back to that
5:20
carbon dating test. In 1988, officials
5:24
cut a small swatch from one corner of
5:26
the shroud. This sample was divided and
5:29
sent to three of the world's top
50
laboratories in Oxford, Zurich, and
52
Arizona. The process called accelerator
55
mass spectrometry is incredibly precise.
59
It counts individual carbon 14 atoms to
5:42
determine age. When all three labs
5:45
independently produced a date range
5:47
firmly in the Middle Ages, the world's
5:49
media declared the mystery solved. The
5:52
shroud was officially labeled a fake.
5:54
But almost immediately, things started
5:56
to get messy. Scientists not involved in
5:59
the original study began pointing out
6:01
major problems. chief among them the
6:04
sample itself. It was taken from one of
6:06
the most handled and repaired areas of
6:08
the entire cloth. For centuries, the
6:11
shroud had been held up for display,
6:13
often by its corners. It also survived
6:16
several fires. After a fire in 1532, a
6:20
group of nuns patched the damaged areas
6:22
and sewed the shroud onto a new backing
6:25
cloth. The corner where the sample was
6:27
taken lies right next to one of these
6:29
patched areas. A chemist named Raymond
62
Rogers, part of the original Shroud of
64
Turin research project in 1978, decided
67
to investigate. He obtained leftover
6:40
threads from the 1988 sample. What he
6:43
found was stunning. Under the
6:45
microscope, he saw that the sample
6:46
fibers were chemically different from
6:48
fibers in the main body of the shroud.
6:51
The sample threads were coated with a
6:52
plant gum and interwoven with cotton
6:55
fibers, whereas the rest of the shroud
6:57
is pure linen. He also found traces of a
7:00
dye. His conclusion was explosive. The
7:03
sample that was carbonated wasn't part
7:05
of the original cloth at all. It was
7:07
from a medieval patch expertly rewoven
7:09
to repair damage. It's like testing the
7:12
age of an ancient brick building by
7:14
taking a sample from a modern mortar
7:16
patch. Of course, it will give you a
7:18
modern date. This threw the entire
7:20
carbon dating result into question.
7:23
Other studies have since come out
7:25
supporting the idea. Using vibrational
7:27
spectroscopy and X-ray analysis, other
70
scientists have produced results
72
suggesting a much older date for the
74
shroud, closer to 2,000 years ago. One
77
study estimated the age at 900 BC plus
7:40
or minus 200 years. Another pointed to
7:43
the first century. None of these methods
7:46
are as widely accepted as carbon 14
7:48
dating, so the debate rages on. The
7:51
scientific community is deeply divided.
7:54
This is the context that makes the AI's
7:57
discovery so important. The AI didn't
7:59
need a physical sample. It bypassed the
8:02
entire controversy over the repaired
8:05
corner. It analyzed the image itself.
8:08
The one thing everyone agrees is central
8:10
to the mystery. The patterns it found
8:13
are not dependent on the age of the
8:15
cloth. They are inherent to the image
8:17
formation process. So even if you
8:20
believe the medieval date is correct,
8:22
you're left with an even bigger problem.
8:24
You have to explain how a medieval
8:26
forger with no knowledge of photography,
8:29
digital imaging, or nanotechnology
82
created a work that contains layers of
84
hidden geometric and three-dimensional
86
data detectable only by modern
89
artificial intelligence. The level of
8:41
precision in the image is so high that
8:43
some have called it a form of spatial
8:45
intelligence encoded onto the fibers.
8:48
It's a total paradox. The AI didn't
8:51
solve the age debate. It just made it
8:53
irrelevant. What the AI actually saw
8:56
wasn't a secret message or signature. It
8:58
was something more fundamental and
9:00
strange. The neural networks used a
9:02
technique called principal component
9:04
analysis, stripping away noise and
9:06
irrelevant information to find the most
9:08
significant patterns in a massive data
9:10
set. When they applied this to the
9:13
highresolution scans, the image of the
9:15
man became secondary. What emerged was a
9:19
field of information. The brightness and
9:21
darkness of the image didn't just
9:23
correspond to a three-dimensional shape.
9:26
They did so with a mathematical
9:27
consistency that followed a precise
90
predictable rule, almost like a physical
92
law. Imagine a cloth draped over a body
95
and some kind of energy is released from
98
that body. The closer the cloth is to
9:40
the skin, the stronger the effect. The
9:42
farther away, the weaker the effect. The
9:45
AI confirmed that this relationship
9:48
holds true across the entire cloth with
9:50
stunning accuracy. This is not how light
9:53
and shadow work in a painting. An artist
9:56
creates the illusion of depth using
9:58
technique. This image doesn't have an
10:00
illusion of depth. It has actual depth
10:03
information encoded in it. A forger
10:06
would have needed to be a master
10:07
physicist and mathematician executing a
10:10
perfect pattern on a microscopic level.
10:13
It's just not plausible. But the AI
10:16
found something even more perplexing.
10:18
Faint repeating symmetries and ratios
10:20
like a musical harmony. Just as certain
10:23
notes sound pleasing together because of
10:25
their mathematical relationship, the AI
10:28
found geometric relationships between
100
points on the image, the distance
102
between the eyes, the proportions of the
105
hands, the curvature of the ribs, all
107
linked by an underlying geometric
109
scaffolding. These patterns were
10:42
invisible to the human eye, buried in
10:44
the visual noise of the fabric's weave,
10:46
and centuries of damage. But the AI saw
10:49
them clearly. To ensure it wasn't a
10:52
glitch or paridolia, researchers fed the
10:54
AI images of other ancient linens and
10:57
artistic renderings. It found nothing.
11:00
The geometric structure was unique to
11:02
the shroud. The implications are
11:04
staggering. The image seems to have been
11:06
formed not by direct contact but by a
11:09
force or energy that projected the
11:11
information onto the cloth from a
11:13
distance. Scientists have proposed
11:16
theories the corona discharge hypothesis
11:19
where a high voltage electrical field
11:21
around a body could cause an image to
11:23
form on a nearby cloth or a short
11:25
intense burst of radiation perhaps
11:28
ultraviolet light that scorch the top
111
layer of linen fibers. Yet experiments
113
never reproduce all the unique features.
116
They might mimic the superficial nature
118
of the image, but not the perfect
11:40
three-dimensional data or hidden
11:42
geometry. It's almost unbelievable. An
11:46
image physically delicate, only nanome
11:48
deep, but informationally robust,
11:51
surviving for centuries. One physicist
11:54
summed it up. This does not behave like
11:56
an artifact. It behaves like a
11:58
phenomenon. If it's a phenomenon and not
12:01
an artifact, what kind of phenomenon are
12:03
we dealing with? The AI's detection of
12:06
hidden mathematical order leaves us with
12:08
possibilities, all of them
12:10
extraordinary. Could this be the
12:12
signature of a lost technology, an
12:14
unknown natural law, or evidence of a
12:17
moment when physical reality itself was
12:19
altered? In one simulated
12:21
reconstruction, when the AI inverted the
12:24
geometry of the encoded ratios, it
12:26
produced a perfect spatial harmonic map.
12:29
similar to those used in quantum
121
imaging. Some physicists whispered the
124
unthinkable. The shroud may have
126
captured an event outside normal
128
physics. A burst of energy so brief and
12:41
so intense it left anformational echo
12:43
rather than a burn. The more scientists
12:46
probed, the stranger it became. Within
12:49
the digital weave of the data, the AI
12:52
isolated what it called phase coherence
12:55
lines. tiny parallel strands of
12:57
mathematical symmetry running at precise
12:59
intervals like barcodes. When translated
13:02
into wave frequencies, these patterns
13:05
produced tones, pure harmonic notes
13:08
matching musical ratios known from
13:10
antiquity, the same proportional
13:12
constants used in early sacred
13:14
architecture. The researchers joked that
13:16
the cloth seemed to hum in silence. But
13:19
what if it wasn't a joke? What if those
13:21
harmonic relationships were intentional?
13:24
an encoded representation of order
13:26
emerging from chaos. When word of the
13:29
findings leaked, the Vatican declined to
131
comment. The official custodians of the
134
Shroud in Trin maintained silence, but
137
independent labs began requesting access
13:40
to the AI data set. Some geneticists
13:43
claimed that within microscopic blood
13:45
residues on the shroud were fragments of
13:48
mitochondrial DNA that did not match any
13:50
known regional population. A peculiar
13:53
anomaly in the chromosomeal markers led
13:56
one team to call it a human profile, but
13:59
not entirely. But behind closed doors,
14:02
the whispers were unmistakable.
14:05
Soon, conferences turned into
14:06
battlegrounds. Theologians saw
14:09
vindication. Skeptics accused the AI of
14:12
overfitting noise. Yet, every test they
14:14
ran failed to dismiss the finding. The
14:17
geometric consistency was real. The data
14:20
did not lie. Meanwhile, another AI team
14:24
attempted to simulate the image using
14:26
random procedural generation, an
14:28
impossible challenge. After 10 million
141
iterations, the system produced nothing
143
resembling the structure found on the
145
shroud. Statistically, the chance of
148
such complex order arising by accident
14:40
was less than 1 in 10 trillion. As the
14:44
world argued, something else happened.
14:47
The original AI system, left running in
14:50
passive analysis mode, continued
14:52
processing, comparing the shroud's
14:54
encoded geometry to linguistic
14:56
databases. Late one night, it produced a
15:00
startling output. Within the ratios of
15:03
the face region, translated through a
15:05
pattern recognition algorithm, the AI
15:08
identified what looked like ancient
15:09
Aramaic letter forms. When mapped across
15:13
the chest area, faint correspondences
15:15
emerged. partial words, not random, but
15:18
linguistically valid. The translation
15:21
suggested fragments of phrases, I am
15:24
beyond life, not flesh. The team refused
15:28
to publish, fearing ridicule, but the
150
data leaked. Linguists confirmed that
152
the structure resembled early first
154
century dialects of both Aramaic and
156
coin Greek. If true, that means the
159
image was not merely physical, but
15:41
informationational, a multi-dimensional
15:43
record encoded in both geometry and
15:45
meaning. It was as if the cloth stored a
15:48
message at the intersection of matter
15:50
and mathematics. One researcher said,
15:53
"It's like a quantum hologram of
15:55
consciousness itself." The Vatican, now
15:58
pressured by media frenzy, issued a tur
16:01
statement. The church awaits further
16:03
verification.
16:05
Outside the labs, the public was
16:07
captivated. Documentaries, podcasts, and
16:10
think pieces flooded the internet. Some
16:12
hailed the AI's revelation as the
16:14
greatest proof of divine reality. Others
16:17
warned the technology was venturing into
16:20
realms it wasn't meant to touch. The
16:22
phrase code of the Christ trended for
16:25
weeks. Meanwhile, a team of physicists
16:28
in Geneva attempted to model the energy
160
burst needed to produce the shroud's
162
three-dimensional depth. Their
164
simulation required a pulse of
166
ultraviolet radiation lasting less than
169
140 billionth of a second, far shorter
16:42
than any natural phenomenon known on
16:44
Earth. To generate that kind of energy
16:46
uniformly across a humansized form,
16:49
would require power equivalent to all
16:51
the electrical energy produced in
16:53
Europe. Yet somehow, whatever happened
16:55
that day 2,000 years ago left behind not
16:59
scorched linen, but a perfect undamaged
17:01
image, a snapshot of something
17:03
transitioning between matter and light.
17:07
When the AI reconstructed the
17:09
three-dimensional model from the encoded
17:11
data, the result was almost lifelike.
17:14
The man's face was serene, not distorted
17:17
by agony. His eyes appeared open. The
17:20
scientists who viewed the holographic
17:22
projection sat in silence. One of them
17:24
whispered, "This looks less like death
17:27
and more like transformation."
17:29
The story should have ended there. But
171
it didn't. Weeks later, the AI began
174
correlating the geometric ratios to
177
astronomical data. Unprompted, it
17:40
matched the pattern frequency of the
17:41
encoded symmetries to constellations
17:43
visible over Jerusalem during a specific
17:46
period in the first century. precisely
17:49
the window in which the crucifixion is
17:50
believed to have occurred. The
17:53
probability of random alignment was
17:55
again infinite decimal. Either
17:58
coincidence was playing tricks at the
17:59
cosmic scale or the image preserved a
18:02
moment in spaceime itself. If the cloth
18:05
recorded not just a man's form, but a
18:08
burst of radiation carrying temporal
18:10
information, it would mean the shroud is
18:13
effectively the world's first
18:14
holographic record, an imprint of a
18:17
physical event whose physics we don't
18:19
yet comprehend. Some began calling it a
18:22
space-time photograph. Others preferred
18:24
resurrection imprint. Whatever it was,
18:28
it defied every law of thermodynamics we
181
know. But as fascination grew, fear
184
followed. The AI's own engineers
186
reported anomalies in its behavior.
189
During deep learning cycles, it began
18:41
generating outputs unrelated to its data
18:44
set. Patterns of light and sound that
18:46
resembled human voice frequencies. The
18:49
words were unintelligible, fragmented,
18:52
as if the system were echoing something
18:54
it couldn't process. The lab eventually
18:56
shut it down, citing unexpected
18:59
recursive signal phenomena.
19:01
Rumors spread that in its final
19:03
analysis, the AI printed one last line

of text before crashing. When the cloth
19:09
breathes once more, the light will
19:11
return. No official record of that line
19:14
exists, but three researchers
19:16
independently confirmed seeing it. The
19:18
project was disbanded, its data locked
19:21
behind Vatican servers, though encrypted
19:24
fragments leaked to anonymous networks.
19:26
Amateur analysts now claim to detect
19:29
similar symmetries in other relics,
191
suggesting the shroud might not be
193
unique, that humanity has encountered
195
this code before and simply lack the
197
tools to see it. As months pass, the
19:40
debate has only deepened. Is this a
19:43
message from the divine, a relic of
19:45
unknown technology, or evidence that
19:48
consciousness itself can impress upon
19:50
matter? The shroud of Turin remains in
19:52
its glass case, guarded and silent. Yet
19:55
now it feels alive again. An ancient
19:58
riddle reborn in the digital age. AI has
20:01
given it a new voice. One that speaks
20:03
not in theology or legend, but in data,
20:06
mathematics, and light. Perhaps that's
20:09
the irony. For centuries, faith asked
20:12
people to believe without proof. Now,
20:15
proof itself seems to whisper the same
20:17
thing faith always did. There is more to
20:19
reality than we can measure. In the end,
20:23
maybe the true miracle isn't that the
20:24
shroud contains a code, but that we were
20:27
finally able to recognize it. In the
200
faint weave of linen, in the ghostly
202
face that looks back from another age,
204
something endures. A conversation
207
between matter and meaning that refuses
209
to die. And as scientists and believers
20:42
alike stare into the digitized depths of
20:45
that ancient fabric, one thought
20:47
lingers, unsettling and profound. What
20:51
if the image on the shroud isn't a
20:53
memory of death at all, but the first
20:55
record of life transcending it?

 

Many very high level research efforts are showing some very amazing facts about the 2000 year old cloth: researchgate.net - Artificial Intelligence Analysis of Images of the Shroud of Turin

I believe in Jesus, maybe this is enough to help others believe, and at the very least, there is undeniable proof that something amazing occurred to this cloth, at a time in history that we just cant reproduce this same set of effects even today!

Perhaps its time we actually allow ourselves to be part of a reality very much greater than what a small few self proclaimed authorities have aloud humanity to be part of. The closed mind is a mind of no progress and no future!
