Please stop. You guys are killing me. Such a riot you are. Seriously, gcruse, before popping off, why don't you use YOUR head. The cloth is involved in a fire in, if memory serves, the 13th century. Smoke. Ash. Molten silver from the enclosure dripping directly on the cloth and causing burns and scorches. Carbon 14 dating is based on what???? that's right, as we are wont to say --- BINGO! --- carbon. Imagine that. Anyone who is not willing to at least concede the very real possibility that the fire tainted the carbon 14 dating is, at best, being wilfuly obtuse.
