 Researchers from the Vatican re-start the debate about the shroud of Turin (Shroud of Turin). They said that there was a vague text file on the surface of the linen shroud it was proved that the cloth used to wrap the body of Jesus. However, other researchers doubt it. They consider the historians exaggerate the writing file, and they firmly on evidence-carbon dating indicates that the shroud was only mid-century forgery.Barbara Frale, researchers from the storage Vatican Archives, said in his new book that he used perjelasan-image of the shroud's computer to read the subtle Greek, Latin, and Aramaic spread over its surface. He made sure that the file between the words "(J) ESU (s) Nazarene" - or Jesus of Nazareth - in Greek. According to writings that can not be derived from the Middle Ages, because there was no race at that time Christians who dared to mention Jesus without reference to his divinity because he could labeled heretics. "Even a relic forger would write the title that the divinity of the shroud," said Frale, Friday (20/11). "But if you found the word 'Christ' or 'Son of God" then we can just assume it is false, or that is in addition to writing as a sign of respect. " Shroud of Turin was famous for memampang image of the man who had been crucified, complete with the absorption of blood from his hands and feet. Those who believe, believe that the image of Christ terabadikan on linen fibers as he rose from the dead. Vatican's fragile artifacts are stored in a room at the Cathedral of Turin berpelindung and rarely performed. 4 meters of cloth along the 1 meter wide and has suffered heavy damage over the centuries, even had ignited the fire. The Catholic Church itself never claimed the authenticity of the shroud, although stating that it is a powerful symbol of the suffering Christ. Debate Apart from believe it or not, this shroud into a heated debate within the scientific community. Skeptics say that the group Radiocarbon dating done on the shroud was in 1988 declared that the cloth was made in the 13th century or the 14th. But Raymond Rogers of Los Alamos National Laboratory, 2005, said that once tested fibers taken from the patches used to repair it after burning shroud. Rogers, who died shortly after publishing his findings, taking into account that the shroud's age 1300 to 3000 years old, and very probably came from Jesus' era. One other study, from the Hebrew University (Hebrew University), concluded that the pattern and plant extracts sebuk the shroud came from the area around Jerusalem from a time before the eighth century. While the file letters scattered on the surface of the shroud had been discovered decades ago, but the researchers of this rule because of the Radiocarbon dating tests, it is clear Frale. Even so, when Frale take pieces of words from the images that have been made clear sheet and showed it to the experts, they agree that the style of writing fits with the common in the Middle East in the first century - the time of Jesus. Frale also believe that the clerk had time to write sentences that are attached to shroud over the face so that the bodies could be identified by his family and then buried properly. Metal content of the ink used in the time it allows the writing on linen sink, Frale said. He said that there are at least 11 words that he found the images produced by French scientists in research in 1994. The words were broken and scattered around the head area of the image, the maze of the fabric vertically and horizontally. A short row of Aramaic letters had not fully translated. But another part is written in Greek - "iber" - presumably referring to the Emperor Tiberius, who ruled at the time Jesus was crucified, Frale said. He said that the article was partly confirmed the Gospel story of the last moments of Jesus. Other pieces in Greek can mean "derived (from the cross) at the ninth hour." This could be referring to the time of Jesus' death were reported also in the sacred religious texts, he said. In his book "The Shroud of Jesus the Nazarene" ( 'Shroud of Jesus of Nazareth'), which published the Italian language, Frale reconstruct the shroud penghurufan which she believes the content of Jesus' death certificates, namely: "Jesus of Nazareth. Provençal (seditious guilty people). Sentenced to death in year 16 of the Tiberius. Heritability at the ninth hour. " He said that the article says that the body will be returned to the family after a year. Frale also claimed that research conducted without the support of the Vatican. "I tried to ignore objective and religious issues," he said. "What did I learn an ancient document that ensures the death penalty a man, at a certain time and place." Frale research usually focuses on medieval documents. He is known as a researcher of the order of the Knights Templar, and the discovery of unpublished documents about the group now in the Vatican Archives Storage. Earlier this year, he published a study which states that the Templars had previously had the shroud. This could be considered unusual because the order was disbanded in the early 14th century and the existence of the shroud was first recorded in history around the year 1360 in the possession of a French knight. Her latest book about the shroud of Jesus even cause more doubt among experts. On the one hand, it is true that medieval forger would label the results made with the name of Christ, as well as all the relics that are made at that time, said Antonio Lombatti, a church historian who has written about the shroud. But the problem from the beginning there was no writing. "People who work studied the picture blotchy might think they see a form," Lombatti said, "This is the result of imagination mixed with the results of computer software. When the shroud image is observed, there are a lot of light and dark contrast, but no letters. " Frale discovery remains critical, said that the artifacts Lombatti containing Greek and Aramaic letters had been found in the Jewish cemetery in the first century, but the use of Latin, it was unusual. He also rejected the theory that the party would restore authority to the crucified body of people officially after filling the administrative file. Victims of the punishment imposed crucifixion Romans usually left hanging on the cross or be removed to a landfill to be more frightening. Lombatti said, "the message of the act is that of a crucified (insurgents / criminals big) would have a grave to cry about." A shroud of Turin expert others, Gianmarco Rinaldi, said that scientists who believe the shroud's authenticity had been ignoring the images can not be relied upon, which is the basis of research Frale. "This computer Perjelasan excessively increase the contrast that arises these files," he said, "then the files can be found in the shroud, not just in the area covering the head. With a little imagination, then people will (admit) to see the letter -letter. " Strange visions about the shroud of Turin is common and usually proved wrong, says Luigi Garlaschelli, a professor of chemistry from the University of Pavia. He recently led a team of experts that Turin shroud imitate it by using materials and methods in the 14th century. The result, they prove that the shroud could be made by mid-century. Tens years ago, many published studies about the signs of the coins he looks at Jesus' eyes closed, but when the picture-sharp definition produced on the restoration in 2002, the mark of the coins were not visible and the theory was ignored, said Garlaschelli. He said that any theory regarding the ink and metal must be tested first by analyzing the shroud itself. Shroud of Turin was last exhibited in 2000, when more than one million people came to see it. The next performances are scheduled in 2010, and Pope Benedict XVI had requested his presence.   |
