A59) Although anatomical details are generally in close agreement with standard human-bodymeasurements, some measurements made on the Shroud image (such as hands, calves and torso)do not agree with anthropological standards. Similar image distortions are obtained if the imprintof a body image on a sheet is s obtained by contact of a body who has hands, calves and torsowrapped by the sheet 49 (Ercoline et al. 1982; Simionato 1998/99; Fanti and Faraon 2000; Fantiand Marinelli 2001; Rogers 2003).A60) The very high stiffness of the body is well evident on the back image: the anatomicalcontours of the back image demonstrate minimal surface flattening 50 (Bucklin 1982; Basso et al.2000).48 As a consequence, the body image shows an excessive distance between eyes sockets and eyeball if a 3-Dreconstruction is processed (Scheuermann 1983).49 -a) frequently these are named “cylindrical distortions” in reference of the wrapping of a sheet on a quasi-cylindricalsurface like that of calves and torso (Fanti and Faraon 2000, Fanti and Marinelli 2001).-b)The distortions seem to be consistent with a draping cloth over body, and explained by a vertical mapping process(Ercoline et al. 1982).-c) Some distortions in the anatomy are present because the artist had some difficulty drawing the hands, shoulders andcalves (Craig 2003).50 –a) Many forensic doctors connect this stiffness to rigor mortis. For example: “The general appearance of the bodyindicates stiffness suggesting that rigor mortis is present” (Bucklin 1982).-b) A simple experimental test can show what it is stated: if you put a body (without rigor mortis) on a glass table andyou look at it from the bottom, you see the buttock imprint very flattened and enlarged as well as the legs and theback. The result is very different from the TS body image (Fanti 2003).-c) It was not a man in coma; the bloodstains have well defined contours without any sign of sliding between cloth andcorpse, so it is now not explainable how a man exiting the TS can leave imprints such as those. The separated bloodthat came out from the side wound is typical of a dead man. It must be verified if a corpse (probably dead of infarctfollowed by emo -pericardium) could have lost that amount of blood (Malantrucco 1992; Fanti 2003).-d) If the TS Man had been alive this cloth would have been covered with blood. A beating heart means a constantsupply of blood to open wounds that would continue to ooze--therefore you would have a lot of blood. You wouldnot be able to see the distinct transfers of moist blood clots to cloth that are presently visible (Lavoie 2003).-c) The statement is based on the fact that the images of the soft tissues of the back and buttocks do not demonstrate thepatterns of flattening that one would normally see on a supine dead body. Some researchers have assumed that thiscan only be attributed to rigor mortis. There can be other explanations. For instance, an illustrator could have simplyreproduced the normal contours of these areas with relatively good accuracy. In conclusion there is absolutely noevidence of rigor mortis (Craig 2003).-d) On examining closely the blood marks of the lower back, these blood marks have a watery bloody look and are notthe darker more uniform blood marks of the blood clot transfers seen over the rest of the body (excluding the scourgemarks). It is believed by myself and Bob Bucklin, MD (medical examiner now deceased) that the man of the shroudlikely died of congestive heart failure, the last stage of shock. Therefore we believe that the lungs of the man of theshroud were full of fluid which goes along with the bloody-watery fluid marks that we see at the lower backside.Keeping this in mind it would be very reasonable to understand that when the man of the shroud was placed from avertical position of crucifixion to that of a supine position that 125 to 250 cc (half a cup to one cup of fluid) of chestfluid drained from the open chest wound onto the cloth. Finally and most important: The blood clot transfers seen onthe shroud indicate that the blood stopped flowing from the major wounds while the man was still in the position ofcrucifixion. There is no indication of further bleeding from the major wounds of the body once he was placed on thecloth other than the spill from the open chest wound as noted by the lower backside watery blood flow. For one topostulate life one would have to show that he were bleeding from all major wounds once laid out on the cloth and thatis just not the case. In summary this man died in the position of crucifixion and was not in coma but dead when placedon this cloth (Lavoie 2003).-g) The normal blood volume of adults is between 4000 & 6000cc depending on size and gender. The well-developed5' 10"" Man of the Shroud probably had a normal blood volume of 5200-5500cc. About 40% of this volume was redblood cells and 60% was serum and white cells. This 40% is called the hematocrit. Both components are essential tocontinued health and cardiovascular function (Glick 2003).-h) Remember the scourging and destruction of skin pointed out by Dr. Bucklin. The skin, the largest organ in the bodyplays a huge role in homeostasis. As an excretory organ it is second only to the kidney. When there is not sufficientblood volume for the kidneys to work the skin still can. It can put out all the urea, amines, and ammonia that Ray andothers have found. But about 60% of the skin of the Man of the Shroud was seriously traumatized and was exudingprecious serum just as a burn would. Burns over 40% are always considered a threat to life in burn units (Area is onlyone consideration as depth of tissue destruction must be considered as well). Fluid and precious serum pour outthrough skin destruction. One of the reason serious motorcyclists wear heavy leather outfits is to protect against "road14
A61) The body image shows no evidences of putrefaction signs, in particular around the lips 51(Bucklin 1982; Moran and Fanti 2002). There is no evidence for tissue breakdown (formation ofliquid decomposition products of a body). Body fluids (other than blood or its part as serum) didnot percolate into the cloth 52 (Rogers 2003).A62) No image formed under the blood stains 53 (Heller and Adler 1981; Schwalbe and Rogers1982; Brillante et al. 2002).A63) The image of the TS Man appears with long hair 54 (Fanti and Faraon 2000).A64) The image of the TS Man, appears as if he was scourged 55 (Bucklin 1982, Ricci 1989).rash", the excoriation that can occur when a rider spins out and is thrown off his/her bike. Long experience has shownthat extensive "road rash", which appears trivial to the "macho man", can be fatal due to loss of fluid, electrolytes andserum proteins. The Man of the Shroud lost considerable blood volume from his skin lesions (Glick 2003).-i) 200 cc (the amount that at least soaks the cloth thoroughly in the area described, and it could be more or less) of fluidspilling from a chest wound is not much fluid when considering the pathophysiology that brought this man to hisdeath. In order to understand the state of this man when placed on this cloth we must not look just at one blood markbut all of them in their entirety (Lavoie 2003).-l) A considerable amount of blood came out of the body while laying in the grave, especially from the side wound andthe nail wounds. The blood from the side wound covered an area of about 80cm x 15 cm. This indicates bloodpressure and liveliness of the body (Gruber, Kersten 1998).-m) Hypothesis (l) is not accepted by experts and forensic doctors (Lavoie 2003, Zugibe 2003)51 -a) This implies that the man was enveloped in the sheet for no more than about 40 hours; the lack of liquid in imageformation indicates that the body was quite dry (Bucklin 1982; Moran and Fanti 2002).-b) The artist purposely did not add any products of putrefaction to the drawing (Craig 2003).52 –a) STURP looked for evidence of any liquid that could have been involved with image formation. There are nomeniscus lines in image areas. There appeared to be no capillary flow of liquids. Sweat includes the normal sebaceoussecretions of the skin. The largest normal component of sebum is free organic acids and their esters. One component,squalene, is very fluorescent. None of these were detected. (Human sebum is composed of the following chemicaltypes: 1) Free fatty acids (28.3%); 2) Combined fatty acids, e.g., triglycerides, waxes, and other esters (34.6%); 3)Unsaponifiable matter (30.1%), including squalene (fluorescent), hydrocarbons, wax alcohols, cholesterol,dihydrocholesterol, lathosterol, other sterols, isocholesterol, and alkane-1,2-diols (about 2% of this category)). Allproteins produced by the body contain sulfoproteins. There is a very sensitive test for them (the iodine-azide test).There is no protein in any image area (as expected, there is in a blood area) (Rogers 2003).-b) Pyrolysis mass spectrometry combines a high-vacuum heating chamber with a mass spectrometer (M S). Materialsthat are heated in the absence of air (oxygen) tend to produce pyrolysis products that are characteristic of the sample.A MS electrically charges the products and accelerates them through magnetic and/or electrically charged sectors: theproducts are thrown into different paths depending on their mass to charge ratio. Pyrolysis -MS analyses run at theNSF Center of Excellence is Mass Spectrometry at the University of Nebraska did not detect any nitrogen-containingcontaminants. This seemed to rule out glair (egg white) as well as any significant microbiological deposits,confirming the microchemical tests. It did not detect any of the sulfide pigments that were used in antiquity, e.g.,orpiment, realgar, mosaic gold, and cinnabar (vermillion, mercury sulfide, HgS). The method was sufficientlysensitive to detect traces of the low-molecular-weight fractions (oligimers) of the polyethylene bag that Prof. Gonellahad used to wrap the Raes threads at parts per billion. It did not detect any unexpected pyrolysis fragments thatindicated any Shroud materials other than carbohydrates (Schwalbe and Rogers 1982, Rogers 2003).-c) Ray Rogers doesn’t think sweat played any important part in image formation (Rogers 2003).53 -a) This strongly suggests that the blood was on the cloth before the image formed (Rogers 2003).-b) The observation needs additional confirmation. It is being contested by J. Jackson, who claims two different kindsof blood spots. Clarification is important, because the lack of image below the blood strongly suggests that all of theblood was on the cloth before the image formed (Rogers 2003).-c) Jackson claims that some blood stains were not made by contact but when the cloth fell through the volumepreviously occupied by the body (Jackson 1990).-d) Jackson probably refers to the blood stains that are out of the body image in correspondence of the elbow (frontimage) and of the right foot (back image). It is possible that the foot stains formed when the Man was put on thetomb -bed and that the elbow stains formed by normal contact. In this last case the body image is not evident becauseof the supposed verticality of the energy source and the partial wrapping of the sheet (Fanti and Marinelli 2001).54 –a) The front image shows hairs that that go down to the shoulders (Fanti 2003).-b) A ponytail is probably visible on the back image. For this purpose see for example (Fanti and Marinelli 2001, fig. 12B and C).55 -a) The many scourging marks visible on the TS are very particular and not easy to reproduce (Ricci 1989).-b) There are visible many scourge marks. G. Ricci counted 121 (Ricci 1989). “The marks are difficult to count but theynumber al least 100” (Bucklin, 1982).15
