• (AP) -- The markings on the Shroud of Turin can be duplicated by a process that may verify that the cloth was used in a burial at the time of Jesus Christ, say University of South Florida scientists. The shroud, which bears the image of a man some believe to be Jesus Christ, is preserved in a chapel in Turin, Italy. Previous studies of the burial cloth didn't consider a phenomenon in corpses called post-mortem fever, said James Strange, an archaeologist at the university. ... "We simply added enough hot water so that (the mannequin's) temperature at the time of burial was 115 degrees. In duplication of a first-century burial we wrapped the mannequin in cloth and added myrrh and aloes, which were commonly used at that time," Strange said. The heat of the post-mortem fever, the acid sweat produced by the myrrh and aloe and the alkaline environment of the tomb combined to "mercerize" the cloth where the mannequin touched it, leaving a shiny image, Strange said. "Exactly where the body touched the cloth it became slightly dehydrated and we got an image," he said. Many people believe that the image formed on the Shroud of Turin was formed by a burst of energy at Christ's resurrection. Scientists investigating the cloth in 1978 concluded only that it could have been formed by "some form of energy. " Strange's next step in determining whether the Shroud of Turin could have been used in Jesus' burial will be to date it by comparing it with a 2,000-year-old piece of cloth he found in the Galilee region in northern Israel during a dig last summer. "We know that our cloth is 2,000 years old from its archaeological context -- the age of pottery and other artifacts surrounding it," he said.

After 100,000 hours of intense study and examinations in 44 scientific studies through 60 different scientific disciplines, the questions still remain: Is the Shroud of Turin the burial cloth that covered the crucified body of Jesus?

Is the face so hauntingly etched into the fabric actually the face of Jesus Christ? Or is it an elaborate hoax that has fooled millions for centuries? Now the truth can be told!.

• One recent study (Binga 2001) found only ten credible skeptical books on the topic versus over 400 promoting the cloth as the authentic, or potentially authentic, burial cloth of Jesus--including most recently a revisionist tome, The Resurrection of the Shroud (Antonacci 2000). Yet since the cloth appeared in the middle of the fourteenth century it has been at the center of scandal, exposes, and controversy--a dubious legacy for what is purported to be the most holy relic in Christendom.
• There have been numerous 'true" shrouds of Jesus--along with vials of his mother's breast milk, hay from the manger in which he was born, and countless relics of his crucifixion--but the Turin cloth uniquely bears the apparent imprints of a crucified man. Unfortunately the cloth is incompatible with New Testament accounts of Jesus' burial. John's gospel (19:38-42, 20:5-7) specifically stares that the body was "wound" with "linen clothes" and a large quantity of burial spices (myrrh and aloes). Still another cloth (called "the napkin") covered his face and head. In contrast, the Shroud of Turin represents a single, draped cloth (laid under and then over the "body") without any trace of the burial spices.
