Turin Shroud Required Electromagnetic Energy

A new series of tests on what is considered a holy artifact suggest it could not have been made by an artist.

An Italian research team has conducted five years of tests on the 14-foot-long Turin Shroud, and the results are in. According to the National Agency for New Technologies and Energy, the object’s imprints could not be reproduced by modern science, and the image on the holy relic was likely created by a form of electromagnetic energy. These findings were in stark contrast with 1988 carbon-dating tests which implied that the shroud was a medieval forgery. The Turin shroud, displayed as early as 1357 and now kept in a bulletproof case at Turin Cathedral, includes the imprint of a bearded face and crucified body. The Vatican’s official newspaper quickly called the shroud “impossible to falsify,” implying it was created by miracle at the time of Christ’s Resurrection.
