    How can the imprint be from a human body, it's topologically wrong. If you wrapped a piece of cloth around your face, marked the main features such as the eyes, nostrils, mouth etc. Then unwrapped it and lay it out flat, the relative positions of those features would change...and certainly not look like this.

    I liked the idea that it was actually a photograph produced in the 14th century (possibly by Leonardo da Vinci, a associate of the family first documented to own it) by camera obscura. Apparently traces of degraded silver nitrate have been identified in the material.
