1978 Shroud of Turin Research Project
Dr. Alan Adler, Professor of Chemistry at Connecticut U :
The blood stains are real human blood
The blood contains bilirubin which the body produces under severe trauma
Bilirubin makes the blood a bright red that stays red over time
Is the Blood on the Shroud Real Blood?

The Shroud displays Forensics NOT discovereduntil 1800s:
Anatomically correct image Arterial vs venal blood flows Signs of rigor mortis No signs of decomposition

•Pollen found in quantity around head area of Shroud
•Found only near Jerusalem
•Blooms only in springtime

"It is widely accepted that the Shroud of Turin is the single most studied artifact in human history.”

1981
1978 Shroud of Turin Research Project Official Conclusions
1981
• The Shroud image is that of a real human form of a scourged, crucified man.
• The blood stains are composed of hemoglobin.
• No pigments, paints, or dyes have been found on the fibrils.
• The Shroud image is not the product of an artist.
1978 Shroud of Turin Research Project Official Conclusions
1981
• One must have an explanation which is scientifically sound, from a physical, chemical, biological and medical viewpoint.
• There are no chemical or physical methods known which can account for the totalityof the image.

1988 Carbon Sample:
Contamination & Discoloration from Glues and Dyes from Medieval Side Strip
New Evidence 1988 Carbon Dating
Cotton fiber from 1988 Carbon Sample
1 The Shroud linen is flax 2 There is no cotton in the main part of the Shroud.
Cotton from SIDE STRIP in 1988 test samplecompletely invalidates the 1988 carbon dating:
This finding has been confirmed by a team of 9 scientists at theLos Alamos National Laboratory.
New Evidence 1988 Carbon Dating
Robert Villareal, Chemist, leader of team of 9 scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory 2005:
• The 1988 carbon 14 dating process failed to recognize one of the first rules of analytical chemistry…”
• “Any sample taken…. must be representative of the whole.”
• “Our analyses of the 3 thread samples taken from the C-14 sampling showed that this was NOT the case.”
New Evidence 1988 Carbon Dating
• National Geographic, 2004“There is now definitive chemical evidence that the test samples were cut from a medieval repair patch.”
• Los Alamos National Laboratory, 2005 “Scientist Ray Rogers proves 1988 carbon-14 dating used an invalid rewoven sample from the medieval side strip.”
• Beta Analytic, 2005The world’s largest carbon dating firm:“Newer thread from patches in the sample…make a first century date possible.”
New Evidence 1988 Carbon Dating
Dr. Ray Rogers, Chemist and thermal expert,Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory
• Levels of vanillin in material such as linen fall over time.
• Vanillin cannot be detected within the Dead Sea scrolls or other very old linens
• "A determination of the kinetics of vanillin loss suggests the Shroud is between 1,300 and 3,000 years old."
New Evidence 1988 Carbon Dating
Mechthild Flury Lemberg,Textile Expert “The Shroud cloth correspondsto fabric found at Masada whichdates to the 1st Century."
Gilbert Raes, Ghent Textile Institute"The Shroud herringboneweave pattern is consistentwith Syrian design in1st Century.”
New Evidence 1988 Carbon Dating
Gulio Fanti, Professor of ChemicalEngineering Padua University
On the basis of 3 separate tests: -Mechanical, -Chemical-Optical
Results show that the Shroud dates to:• First Century: • With a mean of 250 years

PART 5
What is the Image on the Shroud?
Is the Shroud a type of painting?
Official 1978 Scientific Conclusion:“The image does not reside in any applied pigment.”
What is the Image?
The Shroud is NOT a: Painting Scorch Contact image
Shroud Image
First Photographed in 1898
Secondo Pia
IF….the Shroud is NOT a: Painting Scorch Contact image
Then…WHAT is it ??
Nuclear energy can create images...
Nuclear energy can create images similar to….the Shroud
Is the ShroudA nuclear imageWas the
Shroud image formedin a similar way?
Dr. Accetta’s nuclear imaging experiments demonstratethat….
“Radiant light / energy is the most likely cause for the image on the Shroud”
The Shroud also has3D information encodedin the image
The Shroud also has3D information encodedin the image
In Conclusion…
The Shroud is a NEGATIVE image…Of a REAL human bodyOn a ANCIENT linenProduced by a LIGHT / ENERGY Source
In Conclusion…
The Shroud is a NEGATIVE image…Of a REAL human bodyOn a ANCIENT linenProduced by a LIGHT / ENERGY Source
That when analyzed by MODERN technology…Reveals a POSITIVE ImageWith THREE DIMENSIONAL properties

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
The only Son of God,
Eternally begotten of the Father,
