I saws a advert on the documentry channel and it was on about scientists have proved its a fake, but i never bother to watch the program.
I can't provide links as it was on TV... But the shape of the human was made with a very primitive and early method of photography... Then DaVinci, a man whose wonders are still discussed today; painted over the bodies out line with blood. He based the image on himself; as another of his early drawing, sketches was exactly the same... and it all links to the Mona Lisa. ::And Da Vinci was no standard medieval forger; and he didn't exactly have limited knowledge. This is the man with designs in Helicopters and planes a 'LONG' time before they came to be. And its actually incorrect as if it was wrapped around the body, the shape of the blood marks would differ, and if it was just laid on top, or rested on there would be gaps, and areas with no blood flow.
What i don't understand is why so many people care about this stupid bullshit. So what if the cloth even DID have something to do with some guy who lived a while ago? DOESN'T MATTER. ITS A CLOTH. THAT WAS PUT OVER A DOOD. end of story.
This is an intelligent debate, not a thread for people who don't understand or appreciate the importance of such an artifact. You've proved your worth, and if you don't care; DON'T post again.
Just a clear up. There is no way that Da Vinci could have done it, as it has been present in literature and historical evidence for centuries before him. While I agree that Da Vinci was skilled and knowleadgable, he was a renaissance artististy guy, not a medieval man.
