Rub your face with paint or colored powder and wrap a towel around your head, as like a shroud.

Unroll the towel. Look. Does it look like you appear when looking at yourself in a mirror or photograph?

Your simplistic comment denigrates the scientists and scholars who have spent countless hours investigating the Shroud. It is the single most research object in science. In over 115 years, with an array of very sophisticated equipment, THEY have not been able to show it's not an true image. It is NOT a contact image and your idea that a shroud was "wrapped" like a towel is contrary to fact and 1st century Jewish burial customs. Learn the facts before you so blithely dismiss something so ignorantly when you literally don't know what you are talking about.

Yeah. It is an image. But it ain't no wrapped-around-anybody's-head shroud.
