In 2013, Fanti along with Italian journalist Saverio Gaeta released a book documenting research on the Shroud, arguing that it was indeed from the time of Jesus and was likely authentic.įanti's views are not without its critics. However, many, including Fanti, have claimed the results were faulty due to laboratory contamination. In 1988, carbon dating tests were performed on the shroud, which placed its origins in the Medieval era. Much debate has existed over the authenticity of the shroud, including whether or not it was from the first century and how the famous image appeared.

It was eventually moved to the Turin Cathedral in Northern Italy in 1578. Purported to be the cloth that Jesus was buried in after the crucifixion, the Shroud of Turin first appears in the historical record around the year 1360 at the Diocese of Troyes in France. 'In addition, the three-dimensional reconstruction has made it possible to discover that at the moment of his death, the man of the Shroud sagged down towards the right, because his right shoulder was dislocated so seriously as to injure the nerves.' 'I counted 370 wounds from the flagellation, without taking into account the wounds on his sides, which the Shroud doesn't show because it only enveloped the back and front of the body,' continued Fanti.

Fanti also explained that the 3D image allowed for an examination of the many wounds that the figure believed by many to be Jesus suffered.
