1. Scientific studies of the tilma of the Virgin of Guadalupe have found inexplicable properties including the eyes reacting like living eyes, maintaining a constant body temperature, and sounds being detected from beneath the image. 2. No paint or method of application has been detected on the tilma, the colors hover above the fabric and the tilma should have disintegrated long ago but remains intact. The stars depicted match the positions in the sky at the time of the miracle. 3. Explosions and chemicals have not damaged the tilma showing it has miraculously survived without explanation for almost 500 years.
