Navtej Kohli lifts some clouds from the world’s darkest mystery, unsolved till date.
The facts about ‘Shroud of Turin’ on Navtej Kohli Blog:
First photographed 1898 by Secundo Pia.
The image on the cloth appears like a negative.
The radiation (if it was radiation) that made the body image was up and down parallel to gravity, no side image.
Image only appears on cloth where body surface is 3.5cm away or less. Darkness on cloth decreases as distance between body surface and shroud increase. This results in the 3D nature of the image when seen with the VP-8 image analyzer at Sandia Laboratories.
Image is X-ray-like as it shows bones in hands, face, etc.
Pixels of uniform darkening make image similar to a random halftone; more pixels per area in darker areas.
Each pixel on separate 15 to 20 micron fiber of linen of random length, 50 to 500 microns long.
The sharply bounded pixels that make up body image cannot be duplicated by any known process
Image does not fluoresce like other burns in linen fiber
No image under the blood
Blood stains are exactly correct as modern medicine would expect to see from a crucified victim.
Scourge marks (approximately 120) have UV response around them, as blood serum would have.
High bilirubin content in blood from torture
Passover-time flower pollens from Dead Sea area in the cloth, plus pollens from France & Turkey.
Travertine aragenite dust, as found in Jerusalem vicinity, is found on the feet, knees, and nose.

Microbiological growth found on linen fibers
Linen cloth is mentioned in all four gospels
