"A leading Shroud of Turin scholar says the findings are “further historical evidence that even in the Middle Ages, they knew that the Shroud was not authentic.” (ScitechDaily,Was Jesus’ Crucified Body Wrapped in the Shroud of Turin? Newly Found Medieval Text Declares Relic a “Clear Fake”)

Researchers found marks. The famous Shroud of Turin is fake. from medieval times. That means the shape of the creature in the Shroud of Turin could belong to some medieval knight. That means there cannot be a Jesus Christ who was buried in those shrouds. But the Shrouds of Tourin are a remarkable and still very mysterious thing. In the 13th or 14th century, religion was a very serious matter. 

“For instance, a recent study published in Archaeometry used 3D analysis to argue that the cloth had been draped over a sculpture rather than a human body. Radiocarbon dating has also placed the linen’s production in the late 13th or 14th century.”(ScitechDaily,Was Jesus’ Crucified Body Wrapped in the Shroud of Turin?

That means people who made that fake were in a very big danger. If those people were caught faking the relics, their fate was in the bonfire. That was the only known punishment for faking those things. If those people who created that fake were caught. That meant extortion and bonfire execution. And did they go to church to sell that thing? 

This means there should be something that made people create that thing. Shrouds of Tourin is mysterious because it's fake. Who was the person whose image was in that relic? And why did somebody defy their fate to make that thing? Even if that person buried in that relic wasn't Jesus? That doesn’t remove the mystery of that relic.  The mystery is who selected that person to play Jesus? And who was that person whose shape is in that relic? Why did that person or his family allow him to be used as a model for a portrait? If somebody played Jesus in medieval society, they would be in great risk.
