‘Shroud of Turin’ thumb analysis hints at evidence of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion appeared on www.dailystar.co.uk by Daily Star.
Analysis of the lack of thumbs on the Shroud of Turin suggests that it was the cloth Jesus Christ was wrapped in after crucifixion.
The Shroud of Turin has long sparked debate, with supporters insisting they can see Christ’s visage imprinted on the fabric, while critics slam it as a medieval hoax.
But the 2017 study, which is once more garnering attention, suggests the right hand was likely in a ‘stressed’ position that may have resulted from nerve damage caused by crucifixion.

The study, published in the Journal of Cultural Heritage, saw the hands on the fabric re-analysed in higher definition with an ‘intensity histogram transform’.

This revealed that the right hand’s thumb was in an ‘unnatural’ position, meaning that its imprint was almost entirely absent from the shroud.
Crucifixion would have caused injury to the hands’ median nerves, forcing the thumbs into this hidden position, researchers said.
It comes as artificial intelligence has imagined the “face of Jesus Christ” from the shroud.
The Daily Express used Midjourney to conjure up a simulation of who many believe to be the man behind the shroud.

The generated snaps seem to portray Jesus sporting traditional long hair and a beard, complete with wounds that suggest he had just suffered his fatal ordeal.
Critics say a 14th-Century artist may have forged the “shroud of the Messiah” using powdered pigment on a sculpture or a live model.
Back in the 1908s, carbon-dating tests pegged the shroud’s origins to the 1300s, right around when its recorded history kicks off.
But Dr. Liberato de Caro used new technology known as Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering to claim the ancient old fabric closely matches a sample from Masada’s famous siege back in 55-74 AD.
De Caro points out that a number of pollen grains from plants native to the Middle East are embedded in the linen, dismissing the idea that its a European knock-off.
