Well, quite a few things. Isabel Piczek’s recent work (much of which is highlighted in “The Fabric of Time”; a very decent film) was totally ignored. Jackson’s theory about the “strip” on the side being used to wrap the shroud/body and then sewn back onto the Shroud....utter nonsense. On many levels.
They also ignored Ray Rogers’ work that totally debunked the ‘88 radiocarbon 14 dating results. That was a ridiculous oversight.
Schwortz is a good guy. Has a great Web site: www.shroud.com
They also ignored the prevailing theory (mentioned above; Piczek’s work, along with another) that the image was formed when the body was elevated off the stone slab in the tomb, the Shroud completely taut....not draped over the body. That would have changed their “projections”, etc. rather dramatically in creating their 3D image.
Also....completely ignored the work done by Dr. Peter Soons and the Dutch Holographic Lab in creating holograms. Been around for several years now.
I could go on, but a lot of this is somewhat “inside baseball”. They did do a good job of getting across the fact that Shroud is legit; not a fraud or fake. For that, I applaud them.
Could you send me a list of sites/books/movies that would bring me up to speed on the Shroud. I am so incredibly interested, but I know there is a lot of garbage floating around too. I am going to google “The Fabric of Time” and buy it now, and also take a look at the holographic work you mentioned. If there is anything else out there please let me know, I thirst for knowlege...Thank you so much for writing to me, I really appreciate the information!
Yes, that was proved by that idiot, Madame Mechthild Flury-Lemberg, who thought the carbonized areas that were damaged by the fire in the 16th century had to be trimmed away because they were still burning today when she had the Shroud "restored" in 2002... She found that it was just a fold that had been stitched to re-inforce the shroud.
It irks me that most of these TV specials do not do due diligence in digging out the latest science... and often, in an effort to appear even-handed, trot out the talking points of the skeptics, who frequently appear stuck in time, quoting thirty year old, falsified data as though it were the latest scientific findings, or include total made up twaddle such as Picknett's and Prince's Leonard da Vinci fantasies as though it had the same weight as well researched and documented scholarship.
