It’s probably a fake...all the scientific stuff is interesting, but the clincher for me was that the textile studies showed a weave more common in medieval Europe than in Palestine of the first century.

Actually, that is not the case. The Shroud was woven on a Wall Loom that was seldom used in medieval Europe. In addition the soapwort retting and hank bleaching techniques are not at all what was used in Medieval Europe and are what was used in the 1st century Palestine area. Other three over one weave patterns have been found at Masada.

I stand corrected.
