The video explores the mystery of the Turin Shroud, a relic believed to be over 600 years old. Despite skepticism about its miraculous origins, the image on the Shroud remains unexplained. Experimental archaeologist Luigi Garles Skelli proposes a medieval technique using ochre paint and abas relief to recreate the Shroud's image. He simulates 600 years of aging by baking and washing the Shroud, leaving scorch marks similar to the original.
