Footnote 3 - Destruction of Judean Fortress Portrayed in Dramatic Eighth-Century B.C. Pictures
From the reliefs and the excavations, it has been assumed that two walls surrounded Lachish. Ussishkin believes only one wall protected the city. The supposed outer wall was, in his view, a strong revetment retaining the bottom of a glacis, which in turn supported the base of the city wall itself. What appears in the reliefs to be the outer wall, Ussishkin suggests, are battlements and parapets erected on the revetment wall to provide additional positions for soldiers manning the first line of defense.

Footnote 9 - The Shroud of Turin—Probably the Work of a 14th-Century Artist or Forger
One modern investigator, Joe Nickell, reproduced many aspects of the shroud image not by scorching a cloth but by applying a mixture of myrrh and aloes. In the November 1979 issue of Popular Photography, Nickell describes how he molded a wet cloth to the surface of a bas relief and then, when the cloth was dry, daubed on the myrrh and aloes mixture. Nickell produced a negative image on the cloth, an image that had no brushmarks and appeared only on the surface of the cloth.
Footnote 8 - The Shroud of Turin—Probably the Work of a 14th-Century Artist or Forger
This shadowy character is nowhere better exemplified than in the recent photographs produced by Robert M. Haralick of Virginia Polytechnic Institute as a result of his computer investigation of the shroud. He is certain that he can see the Pontius Pilate coin in what he has produced, but his published photographs reveal only a fuzzy blur. (See Robert M. Haralick, Analysis of Digital Images of the Shroud of Turin [Virginia Polytechnic Institute: Blacksburg, Virginia, 1983].)
