'True Face of Jesus?': AI Recreates Detailed Image of Jesus Based on the Shroud of Turin
AI has created a striking image based on the image of the Shroud of Turin, representing what Jesus is believed to have looked like.
The Shroud of Turin is a well known forgery, it has been dated to 1260-1390.
People who belive in the occult will believe fucking anything. Science and evidence are not important to them.
I'm blocking this whole community because it's a waste of bandwidth. I advise everyone to do the same.
I didn't even realize what this community was, I'm blocking as well, thanks for telling me!
The article is IMO misleading (not that surprising considering Breitbart reputation). The shroud has been considered a fake many times - Bishop Pierre d’Arcis of Troyes was already doubting its authenticity in 1389.
From what i've managed to understand - there was a carbon dating attempt in the 1988 - which had to be limited - since cabon dating is a destructive process. The above mentioned study (published in Herittage in 2022) is using Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering which seems not that suited for dating, but has some advantages - much smaller size of sample and ability to test the sample repeatedly. What the study really says is how the shroud would have to be stored before it arrived to Europe in order to look today the way it looks:
The experimental results are compatible with the hypothesis that the TS is a 2000-year-old relic, as supposed by Christian tradition, under the condition that it was kept at suitable levels of average secular temperature—20.0–22.5 °C—and correlated relative humidity—75–55%—for 13 centuries of unknown history, in addition to the seven centuries of known history in Europe.
Also - unsurprisingly - there is no mention of an AI powered reconstruction in the study.
For something anything close to reality, I would expect more African and Middle Eastern features, because travel was difficult at the time. Even if his real dad was Roman (they got around quite a bit), he would only inherit a few of his features.
For one, there's no way the shroud of Turin depicts Jesus. This is just some guy from the middle ages.
Viggo is Jesus?
