[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The greatest artifact ever is the shroud of Turin. The inexplicable and impossible to replicate features combined with being an image of crucified Jesus makes it the most fascinating object in human history.

? You know it has been verified a fraud.[/quote]

scientific analysis of the blood stains on the shroud prove unequivocally that it is a hoax. https://www.livescience.com/63093-shroud-of-turin-is-fake-bloodstains.html[/quote]

“Still, whether or not the shroud is a fake is still a hotly debated question.”

OP - I had believed that the shroud of Turin purported to be the burial Cloth of Jesus was a fake because the Radiocarbon dating tests conducted in the 1980s concluded that the shroud dated to the 13th–14th century.

However interestingly, evidence for an earthquake at Jesus crucifixion that was supported by a recent archeological Discovery reopens this assumption for new consideration. So although I thought adding in the Shroud of Turin was a bit random and not recent enough discovery for this thread - it does seem to be connected to more recent archeological discoveries.

A 2014 study in the journal Meccanica claims that an earthquake that hit Jerusalem in 33 C.E. may have increased the shroud’s carbon-14 levels—putting into doubt the accuracy of the original radiocarbon testing.

The Shroud of Turin: Relic or Forgery?
New study claims an ancient earthquake can shed light on the Shroud of Turin

If the story does check out, it seems the Shroud of Turin (the mandylion) had a long and complicated journey from Jesus’ disciple Thaddeus to Turin. What an violent Odyssey from its healing King Abgar in Edessa in modern Turkey to the Byzantine capital of Constantinople to France via the Fourth Crusade Knoghts Templar to England, back to France and eventually to the Cathedral of John the Baptist in Turin, Italy.
