The Shroud of Turin

[Laura]

I think that it is possible there were more than one person portrayed by written history as Jesus, which intertwined and compounded ideatically, into the Christ figure we know today, but surely it was only one Gaius Julius Caesar.

So everyone can be potentially correct.

Pretty much the way I see it.

FWIW, the purported true face of Jesus Christ on the Turin Shroud, generated by an AI image generator!

'True face of Jesus' is brought back to life with modern breakthrough

The world may never know the true face of Jesus, but a modern breakthrough has given an idea of what Christ looked like nearly 2,000 years ago.

Here is an interesting piece of art on this topic:

"The curator of the exhibition, Álvaro Blanco, who dedicated more than 15 years of research into its realization, gives a lengthy prior explanation of the historical and scientific data that culminates in the hyper-realistic body."

The first hyper-realistic body of Christ based on the Holy Shroud is on exhibit in Spain

An exhibition of the first hyper-realistic recreation of the body of Christ based on data obtained from the Shroud of Turin is at Granada’s cathedral this Holy Week.

There is also Pierre Barnerias who made a documentary (which I haven't seen) titled "Miracles" which covers 3 scientifically unexplained mysteries.

SYNOPSIS
For the first time in cinemas, immerse yourself in a captivating investigation into three scientifically unexplained mysteries. Featuring writer Didier Van Cauweleart (winner of the Prix Goncourt), STURP researcher Barrie Schwortz, historian Jean-Christian Petitfils, and researcher François-Michel Debroise, discover the mysteries of the world's most studied relic, the image of a pregnant woman imprinted on a tunic in the 16th century, and mystical texts that defy literary records.

OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE
In 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared to Juan Diego, a low-caste Mexican Native American. Faced with the bishop's disbelief, she told Juan Diego to bring her roses. He complied, but when he opened his tunic, the flowers had disappeared, revealing an image of the Virgin. This image, preserved intact, defied scientific understanding.

MARIA VALTORTA
A tertiary of the Servants of Mary led a life of prayer, withdrawn from the world, in her small Tuscan town when she received visions of the life of Jesus. Immersed in the scenes, she faithfully transcribed everything she saw and heard in nearly 9,000 pages. Today, these texts continue to convert readers around the world and amaze researchers who have combed through the thousands of factual details they contain.

SHROUD OF CHRIST...

I don't remember where I saw this, perhaps on the forum, but an 'expert' in torture and other joyful things said that to crucify a body, the nails should be in the wrists, because if they were in the hand, the weight of the body would tear the whole thing apart. So if there are stigmata, they couldn't be in the hands.
