Serious question: why do we study archeology, or history?

Answering that question, you'll understand why a 2000 year cloth apparently used by the Person who literally cleaves history in two would be of interest to anybody.

No-one's worshipping this cloth. It doesn't have the Blood of Christ on it.

But if it's real then it has a sacred character. And it would point us towards - not away from but towards - the Author of Life.

If it had the Blood of Christ on it you would worship it?

No, it doesn’t point you toward the Author of life, it distracts you from Him. You spend your time with the artifact instead of the Living Lord.
