An Italian scientist named Luigi Garlaschelli claimed he has reproduced the Shroud of Turin, the supposed burial cloth of Jesus Christ. His recreation of the Shroud of Turin furthers his claim that the supposed cloth of Jesus Christ is a medieval fake.
The Shroud of Turin bears what seems to be photographic negative of Jesus Christ, as believed by many Christians. Italian scientist Luigi Garlaschelli said:
“We have shown that is possible to reproduce something which has the same characteristics as the Shroud.”

The Shroud of Turin shows a bearded man with long hair and arms crossed on his chest. Blood stains mark the cloth. Carbon dating revealed the shroud to be from the years 1260 to 1390. These signs make Christians believe that this is the ancient burial cloth of Jesus Christ.
Garlaschelli reproduced the Shroud of Turin using materials from the middle ages, to further his claim that the ancient Jesus Christ cloth is fake. He simply placed a linen sheet over a volunteer and then rubbed it with a pigment containing traces of acid to copy the Shroud of Turin.
