I went to a three day seminar on the Shroud and the consensus of all the scientists there concluded the Shroud real. The carbon dating was taken from a repair done in the 13th cent. and there is no way the technology of the 13th. cent could have produced it; one example is you cant see any image unless youre 18ft from it whereas the closer you get to a painting the more detail you see. You see no detail whatsoever the closer you get. Another thing. The image is on the fibers rather than IN the fiber as if it was painted. Theres more. It is highly unlikely that the repair was a 13th Century patch job. . . The French Invisible Reweaving technique was only invented in France in the 15th Century as near as can be pinned down. That puts the earliest that repair job could have been done as sometimes in the 1400s. Most likely date is in the 1500s. There was the fire of 1532 where patching was done, so a likely time frame for repairs. Another reported repair was done by the Queen of Italy in the mid-1600s but no records of what was done.

But the carbon dating was done on the repairs, not the actual Shroud.
