The idea that 2 or more human species exist is politically inconvenient in the US and Europe; there is even blanket denial of the phenotypical features by popular science types (Bill Nye, for example), furthering an agenda of political correctness and race-blindness. While I admire the goal, I diagree with the method. After all, I'm more likely to contract malaria and get sunurns and less likely to contract sicle cell anemia and vitamin D deficiency than a black man, and more tolerant to alcohol and more likely to suffer severe frostbite from working in arctic water than an Eskimo.
So, something as drastic as a fundamental difference in skull morphology? At least a different subspecies if it breeds true.
*The Disciples would have taken the shroud with them and its not surprising it travelled all over the world. Even England with Joseph of Arimathea. He owned the Tomb, and there is evidence of him travelling to England, first with Jesus and Mary and later, after the death of Jesus.
If it were imprinted via any means you choose, from chemical to a flash of light, to UNKNOWN!!! Then the image of the face on the cloth--when the cloth is laid flat as it is displayed--would be about one-foot across and be comically distorted. I mean, good grief, the face isn't even a realistic likeness of a person!
Try it yourself. Get a large cloth you don't need. Lay down. Drape over your face. Mark where your eyes, hairline, nose, mouth, chin or beard line. Now lay it flat.
Someone will now go: Oh, yeah, then how was it made, Mr. Smarty Pants?
Even if NO ONE can answer that, the fact remains that--if an image--it could only be made as you see it displayed IF the cloth was held perfectly flat when the cosmic x-rays or whatever made the image.
That said, It's pretty clear that it's a painting. The paint is not on it anymore due to intentional washing after the paint dried, or just a lot of handling, or simply age, but the effect of the original paint has permanently discolored the threads that had touched the paint.
The picture of Boudicca with her army in the background isn't of Boudicca at all. It actualy depicts Ealdgyð, wife of Harold Godwinson, and the battle is Hastings 1066. It was commissioned for the book 'Wind over Hastings' back in 1978.
The shroud is well known in Scottish Rite Freemasonry.
It is the image of Jacques DeMolay, early 14th century Grand Master of the Knights Templar.
He, and the Knights, were arrested and tortured to confess to Heresy. Both King Phillip the Fair and the Pope were heavily in debt to the knights, and their assets were seized.
The shroud was used in an effort to keep him alive. He was later publicly burned at the stake. The surviving Knights escaped to Scotland and Switzerland..

Maybe I'm a reincarnation of this guy. I've never heard of him before yet his ideas are exactly what I have been personally writing about in my journal for the last few years. The only difference is my use of terminology.
To bad we don't have any great philosophers any longer. The Fundamentalists on both sides (christian & Atheist) have drowned them all out.
There is a BBC mock-documentary about this. The ‘experts’ who were interviewed were later known to have been actors. I wonder if this goes further to consolidate the idea of a hoax.
It is sad to see postings by people who have no true understanding of other cultures. They put their prejudices out there for everyone to see.
The Turkey that I have seen is diverse in their population and beliefs. The country at least is an experiment in democracy and attempts to separate church from state. While there are religious fanatics in Turkey so are there ones in the United States. Turkey is no more going to want to destroy its' heritage then we are. They are fighting groups like ISIS.
Yes, there are battles going on between the ethnic Kurds and the government because the Kurds want their own nation-state. However neither side wants to destroy their heritage and both are fighting ISIS.
If you want to comment about a culture, country or government, at least get the payers and their views right.
How come no one has addressed the fact that the "front" and the "back" meet at a single point? Wrap a shroud up my front and down my back and there's going to be a continual wide imprint of the top of my head. Not "front" and oh so suddenly "back". Where's the "top"? Anyway the face and head look flat as a pancake to me.
It always amazes me how someone can gaze at something so obvious, yet because they've been taught that an "age of giants" never existed... question the obvious. Sites like this have now been found on several continents... it's time we began to take our ancient texts and the many similar "myths" of indigenous and ancient peoples seriously. The biggest failure America's higher learning institutions has been to ignore the scores of megalithic mysteries and "out of place artifacts" that litter not only the globe, but the dusty backroom shelves of museums and colleges; relegated to obscurity simply because they shatter accepted norms. Such artifacts, as well as a complete presentations of the world's unexplained megalithic sites, should be first and foremost in any introductory course of study for a degree in Archaeology, Anthropology or Geology, where degrees too often mean ignoring the obvious for the sake of the status quo. Great minds should always think outside the box... not limit themselves to its interior. When will academics realize Science is fluid, constantly evolving. Much of what I learned as a kid has now, only a half century later, been completely rewritten... 100 yrs ago? 500 yrs ago? 1000? There is more than enough evidence already available to those who are not afraid to see it for what it is. Google is an amazing tool... an incredible similarity of megalithic artifacts now speak to a common origin; one people spreading their culture around the globe, just as ancient texts and peoples like the Hopi have long claimed. Imagine what we would now know had the Spanish not burned Mayan and Aztec documents... yet too many academics would still believe they know better - for the history that has survived; painstakingly preserved through both invasion and natural calamites, is still not accepted... rather labeled as nonsense and the ravings of "primitives" - primitives that raised megalithic constructs we can still neither duplicate or explain.

I could swear that this (using cosmic rays to identify voids in a structure) was done at the great pyramid quite a while ago.
IIRC: the results identified a potential chamber, but the results weren't conclusive.
I follow the subject, and I always get the impression that it's not the A Team running things on the Egyptian antiquities side of things.
Visitors to Ancient Origins who are interested in how spoken language evolved may enjoy my book 'Survival of the Smallest - the story of how speech began.' It adopts a rather different perspective, in that it puts infants at the heart of the process, showing how their needs and capabilities would have made them its driving force.
The book is available through Amazon.
Nice observation! It’s a detail that isn’t obvious, but makes sense. If you drape a cloth over a face, and then flatten that sheet, you might get something like this, a 3D image of a face flattened into 2D: http://bit.ly/1N61zWP

D'oh! It isn't an imprinted 'image' of anyone.

Thank You!
Thank You!

Don't know about anyone else's Grammar, but both my Grammars lived long and healthy lived with their husbands, my Grampars! Thank you very much.
All this stuff is nothing but "scientific" dogma in my opinion.

They will find it's just a big stone structure. Nothing special and used common "stone" geometry to be built since they did not have steel.

Exactly! Am I the only one who figured this out???
