The Shroud of Turin - CSICrime Scene InvestigationThey are exactly what would be expected from the wounds on a human body, that had come into direct contact with the cloth. Many of the stains have the distinctive forensic signature of clotting with red corpuscles around the edge of the clot and a clear yellowish halo of serum believed to be pulmonary fluid from the heart. Exactly what would be found on a murder victim with chest wounds caused after death. When the stains formed, the man was lying on his back with his feet near one end of the fourteen foot long piece of cloth. The cloth was then pulled over the top of his head and it lay loosely on his his face and body down to his feet. Blood ran from a chest wound, down the side of the body and formed a puddle under the man's lower back. Mixed with these large bloodstains are stains from a clear bodily fluid which suggests that the man was stabbed near the heart after he was dead. From the angles of the flows and rivulets, forensic experts have determined that this blood flowed while the man was upright with his arms at angles like the hands of a clock at ten minutes to two. As the man was crucified, blood that flowed along his outstretched arms from his wrists runs downward along the forearm, past the elbow and onto the back of the upper arm. Near the man's armpit the blood pooled and dripped from his body, although so much blood flowed along his outstretched arms that several streams of blood dripped all along them. CSI investigators also deduced, from changes in the direction of the flow of blood, that the man must have pulled himself up repeatedly to relieve the weight on his nailed feet, and to relieve the pressure on his chest so that he could breathe. Survivors of Dachau Prison during the Second World War, told of how they witnessed prisoners hung with the arms in this position actually suffocating to death. So that mixed with the pain of the crucifixion was the basic survival instinct for air. This image of the blood flow could not have been painted onto the Shroud by brushing or pouring human blood onto the cloth. Tests on the bloodstains on the cloth confirm that it is human blood. The blood and fluid stains on the Shroud suggest that there was a separation of blood and serum which happens after the heart stops beating. These stains are not on top of the images on the cloth, which means that the blood stains were there before the image was formed. Bilirubin, a substance produced when the human body is under severe traumatic stress, is found in large amounts in the blood. This gives the blood a very red colouring. Examining the shroud further, the experts discovered there is dirt on the knees, on the tip of the nose, and on the feet. This dirt contains travertine aragonite limestone only found locally in Israel. Everything about the image of the man on the Shroud is correct. Anatomically and in the differences between the vein and arterial blood flows all conform to what would be expected in relation to the circulation of blood in a human body. If it is a hoax from the 13th century then the the person who perpetrated it was far in advance technically than NASA, top CSI teams and the Kodak photographic laboratories of today So if the Shroud of Turin is not a man-made hoax, can it really be the image of the body of Jesus? I know what I think!
