Did you forget that DaVince was playing around with photography way back then? No, please don't get started on the DaVince Code because this was known before the book was written.

Since the shroud with its image does in fact pre-date DaVinci and nobody has ever reproduced a like image on a cloth, what is your point?

The "camera obscura" was not photography, if that's what you're talking about. I suppose you saw the 48 Hours/Dateline/60 Minutes hokum piece about the camera obscura being the real source of the Renaissance masters being able to paint so beautifully. Of course, that piece was completely bogus--they only presented the arguments for without mentioning the obvious arguments against.

The known provenance of the Shroud predates Leonardo by 104 years. It would be a REAL miracle for Da Vinci to have created the Shroud 104 years before his birth!
