The Shroud of Turin, Part II (Jesus' Hairstyle)

The traces of limestone (classified as a form of travertine aragonite, a rare limestone identical to that found in Jerusalem) was not detected anywhere on the Shroud but at the level of the nose, knee and heel, that is to say at the places on the body where it was logical to find them in view of Jesus’ repeated falls during his Way of the Cross. Given that the traces of aragonite were only detected by reflectance spectrometry by the STURP scientists, the super forger hypothesis would require to believe that he purposefully placed the traces of aragonite at the right places so that they could be detected by a totally unknown technology in his time that would be developed hundreds of years later! Doesn’t seem very reasonable to me!
