Otangelo Grasso describes himself as a ‘Young Earth Creationist’ and ‘intelligent Design proponent.’ Grasso has written a paper in which he talks about the Shroud of Turin in great detail.
The Shroud is a length of cloth that is famous for having an image that looks like Christ on the fabric.
A lot of people think the Shroud is what Jesus was wrapped in for his burial, the three days between his crucifixion and subsequent resurrection.
Now, Grasso, with the help of AI, has made a projection of the image outline on the shroud and analyzed the blood and wound patterns found on it to see whether they might have belonged to Jesus
Jesus was thought to have been wearing a crown of thorns on his head when he was tortured and killed.
Grasso says that the patterns from the images he used can tell us what kind of crown was used to inflict injuries.
In his study, he writes, “From the front, the crown sits below the apex and compresses the hair at the brow and temples; inward-angled thorns enter tangentially and create vertical rivulets that follow skin furrows and, at the temples, the course of trigeminal branches, echoing the Shroud’s forehead/nasion clots.”
He examines whether the crown was a cap or a circlet, concluding that it was most likely a circlet because the wounds appeared in a way that would be easier to assemble.
Grasso went on, “A helmet-like dome implies frequent superior-scalp lesions; with other head wounds still transferring at burial, one would expect traces across the bridge.”
