'I counted 370 wounds from the flagellation, without taking into account the wounds on his sides, which the Shroud doesn't show because it only enveloped the back and front of the body,' Fanti explained to Chi. 'This means that the Turin Shroud is not fake.It is certainly the funeral fabric that wrapped a tortured man.'įanti used to research, the cloth, and the three-dimensional projection of the figure to confirm that the man sustained numerous wounds on his body before death. 'The blood serum tells us that before dying the person was suffering,' Elvio Carlino, a researcher from the Institute of Crystallography, told CBN News. Researchers also learned that the blood belonged to someone who suffered from extreme amounts of injury and pain. In August, researchers from the Institute of Crystallography found chemicals in the stains on the shroud, confirming that the stains were actual blood. The University of Padua and Padua Hospital worked in collaboration with sculptor Sergio Rodella to create the life-size image, according to Il Mattino di Padova, an Italian publication. Note: Height has been corrected from 5 ft. And he had a regal and majestic expression,' he said. tall, whereas the average height at the time was around 5 ft. Long-limbed, but very robust, he was nearly 5 ft. 'According to our studies, Jesus was a man of extraordinary beauty. And the statue is the final result,' Fanti told Chi, an Italian publication. 'We have studied for years using the most sophisticated 3D technologies the image left by the body on the sheet. 'We believe that we have the precise image of what Jesus looked like on this earth,' he said. He said the statue is a three-dimensional representation of the actual size of the Man on the Shroud. For me, even if science doesn't confirm the name of that Man, I have recognized Him from a more general point of view,' he added.įanti has studied the Shroud for the last 20 years and led the research team that created the 3-D carbon model of Jesus. And the Shroud shows many wounds on the forehead, temples, and nape due to a crown of thorns. 'For example, thousands of men were crucified by Romans, but one only, Jesus, was crowned with thorns. 'Science is not able to define the name of the Man that was wrapped there, but the perfect correspondence of the Gospels and of the Bible in general with the Shroud leads to think that that Man was just Jesus,' Giulio Fanti, a professor of mechanical and thermal measurements at the University of Padua, told CBN News. Researchers in Padua (Italy) have unveiled a 3-D carbon copy of what Jesus looked like based on the precise measurements of the cloth. The Shroud of Turin is a 14-foot linen cloth that is believed to have wrapped the body of Jesus Christ after the crucifixion.

One of the most-well known relics in archeological history is leading researchers to believe that they know 'the precise image of what Jesus looked like on this earth'.
