The sindonologia is born 25.5.1898, for the medium of the lawyer Secondo Pia which, photographing the Shroud, with amazement and emotion, it discovers that the funeral sheet is a negative disposition whose positive, once that it is developed, show a man's image horribly tortured. Yves Delage, zoologist of world fame, atheist, shows the authenticity of the shroud recognizing in the man that has been wound you (cfr. Mt.27, 58-60 and Gv.20, 6-8) Jesus's features (cfr. the memorial that the Delage publishes in the Reven Scientifique de the academies des Sciences). In 1904, anticipating the results of the search, it says that the certainty of the authenticity of the Shroud is such, that is only a probability against 83 million that it is false. Of this sheet, denominated by Giovanni shroud (in Greek shroud), they speak in the II of it century the apocryphal Gospel of the Hebrews and in the 340 S. Cirillo in Jerusalem that he remembers the silent witnesses of the resurrezione: the red cliff and the Shroud. The ancient apologists indirectly speak only of it, saying, to try that the body of Jesus had not been brought away, that “eventually” would have been easier to steal not it without sheet. In truth the studies deepened of the STURP (The Shroud of Turing Researc Project) (a team of 44 scientists, of different religions, of which four atheists) they guarantee the truthfulness of the evangelical story confirming besides the theses of the great Delage. 
The torture of Jesus was an unique case in its kind. It must be observed as the convicts they were whipped along the trip toward the torture, whereas Jesus was flagellated being to firm foot. In fact, the symmetry in the wounds incontrovertibly shows that Jesus and the soldiers were not in walk! The Shroud shows us anchors and the structure of the scourges, that finish with small weights of I fall to form of handlebar and the number of the hits of flagrum taxillatum that is, for the note, 121 not already 39 or 40 as would have been if the lashers had been Jewish! Besides the thorns that encircle him the head form a big and rent I fall of stings, (what they pierce through the whole head), not already a crown as from traditional iconografie! Of the man of the Shroud today we know with safety and the blood group that it is AB-positive RH (as that of the miracle eucaristico of they Launch) and the build that is agile, elegant, harmonious, perfect. The data antropometricis are these: stature cm. 178-180, hang kg. 79, age 33-35. The nails are nailed in in the wrists, in the “stings of Destot”, as has shown the Barbet, a luminary of the French surgery, (cfr. Pierre Barbet: Our Lord's passion Jesus Cristo) not already in the palms that would not have held up the weight of the body, the feet are cross and nailed so that the left foot has overlapped to the right one and not vice versa. << Jesus said: “I am thirsty”-and the soldiers, drenched a sponge in the vinegar, they set her/it in top to a reed of issopo and they approached her/it to him to the mouth >> (cfr. Gv. 19, 29). 
It says the Tambourines: << And perhaps the most impressive discovery that I have done with the three-dimensional photo: on the left cheekbone, to side of the nose, the photo reveals a curved incision. You/he/she could be the imprint of a reed cut in point with a sickle. The soldier that gave to drink to Christ, probably hurt him/it >> 
As for the hypothesis of the riproducibilità of the Shroud with the heat, advance recently from the anthropologist Pesce, (nientedimeno would have been realized by an artisan between 1250 and 1350 applying a sheet to a bas-relief in heated metal (230 degrees), it needs to say that has resolutely been denied by the Baima Bollone, Teacher of legal Medicine near the university in Turin, studious of world fame, with valid argomentazioni:a) << the imprint gotten by Fish appears on both the sides of the fabric while on the Shroud it is on an alone side >>. 
b) << it is not stable in the time and you/he/she is destined to disappear >>. 
c) << the examination to the optic and electronic microscope of the threads withdrawn in correspondence of the images doesn't show some thermal damage, instead evident, in correspondence of the borders of the centers combuste in the 1532 fire >>. And of necessity to add a detail that makes streets more convincing the matter of Professor Baima Bollone: the image of the due imprints to scorches has a strong fluorescence whereas sindonica imagines him has a void fluorescence!!! 
The results of the search on the Shroud are questi:a) The fabric is back made out of a two thousand year-old flax 
b) the Shroud is a negative photographic 
c) the imprints are of two son-in-laws: those of the body to the negative one, those of the blood to the positive one 
d) the stains of blood are of four types: arterial blood (clearer), venous blood (more dark color), mixed blood, cadaverous blood (darker still). 
The supposition that the Shroud is a 1300 forgery gotten with the heat, is now, entirely unthinkable and for the reasons soprammenzionate and viepiù for the simple motive that the discovery of the circulation of the blood (or rather the knowledge of these four types of blood) it goes up again to the XVI century (1593) thanks to the physician Andrea Cisalpino. 
e) invisible Imprints. They is made visible by a photo to simple ultraviolet rays and with the lamp of R. William gas Wood tungsten. Such photo visualizes, in the single hits of scourge, the straining of blood that represent a further seal of authenticity in how much, tracing the run loin-neck, they perfectly individualize the position of Jesus which, tied up with the hands to a low cippo, is forced to be down with the head and to draw an arc with the back. It must be observed as any convict pits ever crowned of thorns, eccezion done for the “the man's Child”! You Shroud visualizes, for the note and the coronation of thorns and the flagellazione!f) Revelation of the coins on the eyes. You are also been visualized some Roman monetines with this Greek registration: << Tiberiu Caisaros >>. That Ponzio Pilato has made to coin such coins, between 29 and 32, it is a notorious fact. Now, the discovery of such invisible monetine as well as the reasons above express they exclude the hypothesis of a forgery of the Shroud and they guarantee the truthfulness of the crucifixion under Ponzio Pilato. << I say that it is a funeral sheet of two thousand years ago what it corresponds to the Gospel >> he/she affirms Professor Baima Bollone. 
And he remembers that, according to some studies, the sheet was not directly supported on the face, but kept lifted to the sides. Then the image would be reproduced or for a surge of radiations, (it is the thesis of the miracle, preferred by Kenneth Stevenson and other researchers), or for an alteration of the cellulose, or because of the aloe vapors and myrrh (cfr. Stevenson: Verdict on the Shroud Queriniana, Brescia 1982). Max Frei Sulzen, the famous criminologist of the Police of Zurich, applying some adhesive ribbons on the Shroud and studying the vegetable pollens that you/they had been you attached, it was able ripercorrere the journey started in the Middle ancient East and ended in Turin, Street Constantinople and so many other cities. Every of which had left the signature on the flax, depositing you the seeds of his/her vegetation it specifies. 
Gilbert Raes, Teacher of textile technology to the university of Gand, in 1873 examining the cloth of the Shroud concluded that that type of weaving was common in the Middle East in the The century and that among the flax fibers there were cotton traces, open sign that the Shroud was plotted in a loom that was also used for plotting the cotton. 
Now the cotton is common in the Middle East while it is not being cultivated in Europe. Analogous conclusion drew Silvio Curto, Teacher of Egittologia to the university in Turin. Is excluded that there has been scorch, natural or artificial, of the Shroud for the following motivi:as) soothe her of the Shroud burnt in the 1532 damage fluorescence to the ultraviolet rays while the image doesn't give of it! 
b) imagine her from scorches introduces the fibers entirely made yellow while the image sindonica introduces her superficially make yellow only! 
c) imagine her from scorches as those of the iron horse overheated by the Ashe they are without tones, anchor distorted whereas the image sindonica is perfect even evanescent! Robert Bucklin, of the Sturp, he affirms: << The medical data of the Shroud bear the thesis of the resurrezione. If this medical information we add her/it to the chemical, physical, and historical facts, we have a solid test of the resurrection of Jesus >>. For such motive the historian Robert Wilcox had to say that the people that he met during his searches on the Shroud freed him/it from the agnostic skepticism and they induced him to accept the Christianity.
