My best guess is that the prototype of the Shroud was a piece of statuary made with rock containing a high percentage of radioactive elements.

Thanks Blam.
The finely-decorated shroud, which is 7 meters by 2 m., was found by Israeli archeologists at the entrance to what has been dubbed the Cave of the Warrior, during a search for additional Dead Sea Scrolls near Wadi el-Makkukah. Instead of finding biblical scrolls, the archeologists stumbled on the 6,000-year-old tomb of a nobleman whose body was wrapped in an elaborate linen shroud. The skeleton was accompanied by a long flint blade, wooden bowls, sandals of thick leather, and bows... [and] had signs of blood on it, likely from a wound suffered by the bandaged warrior, Negnevitsky said. After painstaking preservation, the shroud was displayed at the American Museum of Natural History in New York in 1998 and then at the Israel Museum in 2003 before being placed in the storeroom of the Antiquities Authority in Jerusalem, she said.
I'm pretty sure I'd not previously heard about this find.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
