“If true - using technology of today - 2000 years more advanced that what was available.”

Am I the only one who reads the article:

“Garlaschelli reproduced the full-sized shroud using materials and techniques that were available in the middle ages.”

“They placed a linen sheet flat over a volunteer and then rubbed it with a pigment containing traces of acid. A mask was used for the face. The pigment was then artificially aged by heating the cloth in an oven and washing it, a process which removed it from the surface but left a fuzzy, half-tone image similar to that on the Shroud. He believes the pigment on the original Shroud faded naturally over the centuries.”
