And that makes it 2000 years old?

No, the Shroud cloth has been carbon dated to that time period.

With faulty tests.
Long story behind that I don’t have time to get into now.
Going from memory here, paraphrasing.

Cliff’s notes version:
The area chosen for testing was taken from an area everyone agreed beforehand shouldn’t be used for carbon dating, since it was near a repaired area.

The samples were sent to three labs; the samples were taken in areas of lesser, medium, and greater repair (the repair technique was called “French invisible reweaving” and consisted of gradually blending in replacement threads in greater and greater percentage from the initial area until finally the whole of the replaced cloth was new thread.
The samples were all taken from areas of % percentages of original cloth.

And the results from the three labs gave estimates for the age which varied linearly with the % of new thread; and the estimates given by each lab were outside the error bars of the other labs.

...and one of the scientists at a testing lab came out and said they were finally going to disprove the Shroud, before the testing began.

A later estimate based on the trends in the ages with % new cloth, from the first three labs, suggested an age of 1st century.

“No, the Shroud cloth has been carbon dated to that time period.”
