Italian X-Ray Study Dates Shroud of Turin to 2000 Years Ago
Aug 21, 2024, 02:52 AM
Recent scientific investigations have reignited the debate over the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, a cloth believed to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ. Utilizing new x-ray techniques, researchers have dated the Shroud to approximately 2,000 years ago, aligning with the time of Jesus' life and crucifixion. This finding challenges previous carbon dating results that suggested the Shroud was a medieval creation. The analysis also revealed that the stains on the Shroud are from the blood of a torture victim, further supporting claims of its authenticity. Additionally, the Shroud shares blood characteristics with the Sudarium of Oviedo, another relic associated with Jesus. An Italian X-Ray study confirmed the Shroud's age, matching it to a piece of linen from the siege of Masada in 72 AD. These revelations have convinced some skeptics, including an atheist who initially sought to disprove its authenticity, of the Shroud's genuine nature.
