Did Da Vinci fake the Turin Shroud ?

And not to mention that the man on the shroud is 6'1. If I'm not mistaken, the average height of first-century Jewish males was 5'0. I agree CH. There has been much made about this and the fact that bodily proportions are "out of whack" (scientific term ) if you will. That said, whether this was LD -- and I'm just making a general statement here -- or not really doesn't matter. The question is authenticity. And, again, just by looking at the face on the shroud ... it certainly appears to be fake. That is not, IMHO, the face of a first century Palestinian Jew. That image is very European. LTR ....

There seems to be so many theories taht we get confused what to belive in... THanks B??? This is second to Roswell.

It is a pious artifact, the church has never said it was real, it is up to each person to decide. No ones faith is based on the shroud, or if it is, well to bad for them I guess. If anyone could have faked it, it would be Di Vinci.

look at the face in the shroud, it is da Vinci, as well as the Judas in the Last Supper, he's a real prankster and he love doing it for his own ammusement.

Why would Jesus necessarily look like a first century palestinian jew he was the son of god

But, now a new study has claimed that painter-inventor Leonardo da Vinci faked it.

Yhis is old hat. I think that I heard the same hypothesis five or ten years ago already.

This can be equated to seeing the Virgin Mary in toast and tree stumps. Sure it looks like a person in the shroud, however we will never know who it was...if it was a real person.

This can be equated to seeing the Virgin Mary in toast and tree stumps. Sure it looks like a person in the shroud, however we will never know who it was...if it was a real person. The Shroud of Turin is the most studied artifact of all time. It's nothing like seeing the virgin in a piece of toast. There is no question that there is a 3d image of a man who was suppose to be "Jesus" The question is if it's real, and created by the Holy spirit or whatever. Or if someone fabricated it (Da Vinci) The reason why people believe it's authentic is because it is SO complex, that they dont think anyone c... [More]
