Shroud of Turin: 3D Model Suggests Artistic Origin | JQJO

A new study suggests the Shroud of Turin, believed by some to be Jesus' burial cloth, may be a work of art depicting a statue, not a human. Brazilian 3D designer Cicero Moraes used modeling software to show that a statue's contours better match the shroud's image than a human's. This adds to ongoing debate about the shroud's origin and age, with some research supporting a 1st-century CE origin, while others point to a 14th-century creation. Moraes's work emphasizes the use of digital technology in historical investigations.
