The web site provides information to suggest that Leonardo DaVinci may actually have created the shroud, discussing his motivations as well as his capabilities and presents the information, allowing visitors to the website to express their own opinions on this subject. The results of an online poll are presented. The project provides an excellent example of Scientific Inquiry!
Take the quiz to be rewarded with a Da Vinci Divination which is really fun.
