Plus no pigment of any kind. The other thing is: on a painting the closer you look the more detail you see; with the Shroud, you have to stand way back to see any kind of detail. The closer you get the more it becomes just a smudge of dust looking stuff.

The other thing is: The nail holes are in his wrist not his palms. In Jewish culture, the hand goes from the palm to the elbow. The nails would have ripped out of the palms but not the wrist.

Agree with all of what you said. Again.

Even with our modern tech we couldn’t have forged the Shroud. But someone from many centuries ago did? C’mon. Again, if anyone believes that, please PM me. I’ve got a bridge in NY to sell.
