Image of my own (beardless!) face, obtained in 2015 via contact imprinting technique, easily realizable in medieval times.

Conflicting definitions of “sindonology”
1. First, from en.wiktionary

Sindonology’s 10 biggest mistakes …
Here, dear reader, is what this retired PhD scientist considers to be sindonology’s 10 biggest mistakes. Assembling this list has taken some 7 years of investigation, reported (uniquely?) to the internet as a real time LEARNING CURVE, here and elsewhere. … Continue reading
Please excuse this pot-boiler of a posting …
Once again, this site has disappeared completely from Google rankings (under a “shroud of turin” search), and it happened, bizarrely, “overnight”. One can only speculate as to reasons – which might be legitimate – albeit puzzling in the suddenness if … Continue reading

What’s Dan Porter up to these days (Christmas 2016, 1 year after finally closing his Shroud of Turin blog)?
Site banner: see how a simulated sweat imprint (my wet hand pressed down onto dark fabric) responds magnificently to 3D-rendering computer software (ImageJ) before and after tone-reversal (negative back to positive image). Remind you of anything? Like those supposedly “unique” and … Continue reading

The Turin so-called Shroud ought NOT be seen as a burial shroud. Best interpreted as a simple body-cloaking sheet of fine linen used to depict via body-contact imprinting Joseph of Arimathea’s hastily-arranged form of dignified transport from cross to tomb. (See Topics 2 and 6 especially).
