New report finds Shroud of Turin dates back to the era of the earthly ministry of Jesus, contradicting 1988 evidence dating cloth as being centuries newer.
New scientific procedures says fabric in the shroud is about 2,000 years old.
The study also analyzed traces of pollen on the shroud.
“The pollen samples gathered are from plants that are native to not just the Middle East, but specifically the area around Judea, Palestine, and Syria within that time period,” said Brian Hyland, curator at Museum of the Bible.
“There’s also pollen from the area around Constantinople. There’s a lot of pollen from Europe,” suggesting the shroud traveled from the Holy Land through [now Turkey and France] to its current home in Italy since the 16th century.
“The only single sample they took did not represent anywhere else on the cloth because it had been manipulated,” said Barrie Schwortz.
Schwortz, who is Jewish, pushed back on claims the shroud was a creation of Leonardo DaVinci.
“The Shroud has been publicly shown 100 years before da Vinci was born. He was a good artist, but he wasn’t that good.”
Schwortz said that until he saw the shroud, he was “biased against it.”
“I even said, somewhere along the line to somebody that, you know, we’ll get to Turin, we’ll give it five minutes, we’ll find the paint, we’ll come home, we’ll be done.”
There is no paint on the cloth, however.
British David Rolfe new film, “Who Can He Be,” said his team produced a 3D image from data from the fabric. “The only way that the image could’ve got on to that cloth is a miraculous one. A miracle that emanated from the body with unbelievable amounts of energy but within an infinitesimally short space of time.”

Appropriate response and well said. Thanks.
My bad. Must have responded to the wrong comment. Got a little heated there.
Not much meat in that article. They need more testing to get anywhere on this debate. Not sure that is going to happen.
Typical Catholic idol worship.
You’re completely wrong.
The physical evidence for the Shroud being a genuine artifact,
(not faked) is overwhelming.
It’s not painted.
If you think the Shroud of Turin qualifies as an "idol" in the Scriptural sense, then you need a refresher on what idol worship actually is.
As a Baptist, I have known for decades that the Holy Shroud is authentic.
Very interesting!!
Does NOT prove that it's 2,000 years old!
Regards,
Amen!
Agree
Amen
Amen
Today’s science contradicts last Century’s science. Go figure...
Why are you so afraid of something that affirms Christ on earth?
Perhaps God provides more for those who have no faith… you are saved…he seeks to save others.
Interesting answer! Will need to read about the Babel fish..
Thank you for this history
