Why would a 13th century forger of relics go to the time and trouble to make a shroud that challenges 21st century technologies when a crude painted fake would have sufficed? I am particularly intrigued by the unique anatomic features of the image on the Turin Shroud. Again these details would have been unknown in the 13th century and would have been contrary to popular images of the Crucifixion at the time.

The why is for the money and the image was not painted onto cloth but rather
sun bleached?
