Mystery of Jesus' final hours might have finally been solved by forensic scientists following new evidence

Mystery of Jesus' final hours might have finally been solved by forensic scientists following new evidence

The study revealed the truth about a debated aspect before his death

Scientists may have answers to how Jesus spent his final few hours after analysing something of his.

A new study looked at the blood patterns found on the Shroud of Turin, a cloth that is believed to have been used to wrap the body of Jesus after his death.

The 14-foot-long cloth allegedly contains the body of Christ after his crucifixion, which was also used to paint a clear picture of his 'true' appearance and Crown of Thorns.

The Bible claimed that Roman soldiers twisted thorns around his head to mock him before his death and they cut into his scalp.

Throughout history, people have debated what the crown was made from, as people had varying theories about its placement and its material.

But after the analysis, researcher Otangelo Grasso may have solved it.

Even though his research isn’t peer reviewed yet, his belief is that Jesus was wearing a ring-like wreath at the time of his death.

His data determined that the bloodstains show there were concentrated wounds around the hairline, temples and back of the head.

He also took into consideration the geometric gaps in the cloth, to see if the crown structure could match any of those that have been theorised throughout the years.

"The Shroud's head imagery shows concentrated bloodstains at the brow/temples and nape, with no vertex transfer across the non-contact bridge," the study explained, per Mail Online. "This absence of blood at the very top of the head, they note, is a key clue that rules out a helmet-style crown."

Grasso dismissed the possibility of a helmet crown as he noted the Shroud could have had scalp blood reactivated after death via handling, making it transfer across the head and face to give it a helmet look.

"Some droplets should still appear on the bridge unless the vertex wounds dried unusually fast or were fully contained by hair," Grasso said. "The circlet explains the same observations with fewer auxiliary assumptions."

Thanks to the analysis and Shroud, an AI Crown of Thorns composition was created based on the blood pattern.

It is now believed that the Crown was a circlet with inward-pointing single thorns.

The data also found there were supra-band punctures due to forced seating around three to five centimetres above the hoop plane.

If it was a helmet structure, it would have taken ‘more than two hours and complex interlacing,’ compared to a circlet, as it ‘can be fabricated with one structural join and inherent hoop stability.’

However, despite the data, he says it could still be ‘possible’ but this ‘demands auxiliary assumptions’.

He said it could be ‘selective early vertex clotting’ or the blood from the top of the head was ‘wholly hair-contained'.

At least now we have a clearer picture of what happened to him pre-death as soldiers laced thorns around his head, if you even believe he existed, of course.

"Shroud head-stain mapping, a clean vertex bridge amid otherwise active head/face transfer potential, experimental inward-spine mechanics, posture-driven posterior elevation, and the build-time/manipulation differential together provide support for a circlet over a cap," the study said.
