I agree. I have read extensively about the shroud. If it is a fake it is a very good one! Linen fabric trim 2,000 years ago with mid Eastern pollen and seeds. Anatomically correct signs of crucifixion such as thumbs pulling into medial position of hands. . An interesting fact is there are no written descriptions of a crucifixion in ancient literature. What we know is from modern studies using cadavers. Is the shroud real? I don’t know but it is intriguing.

The fact that even with today’s technology, a shroud cloth with a 3D negative image has never been created.

Plenty of descriptions of how it was done from centuries before the Romans by the Persians, Carthaginians, Assyrians & the Babylonians. The Romans probably copied it from the Carthaginians. It can be done in various ways as long as you put the right pressure on the right anatomical region. There is a scarcity of the physical evidence because its victims were viewed as criminals that an example be made of them - traitors, slaves in revolt (1st, 2nd & 3rd Servile Revolts\wars. Spartacus was the 3rd revolt!) & anyone who challenged authoritarian rule. Since they were viewed as lowest of the low almost always their bodies were left to rot in place. It would be dangerous to express an interest in proper burial since it might indicate sympathy with the victim and cause. Currently there are two notable exceptions Jesus and one archeological example. Here’s a description of an archeological find that more or less backs up in part the Biblical description.
