00:00Shocking discovery uncovered after analyzing the cloth Jesus was buried in.
00:04Since its public unveiling in the 1350s, the Shroud of Turin has intrigued many
00:09as the possible burial cloth of Jesus, bearing the image of a bearded man.
00:14Initially debunked in the 1980s as a medieval artifact,
00:18recent research by Italian scientists using advanced X-ray technology
00:21suggests its age may align with the time of Jesus.
00:24Joseph of Arimathea wrapped Jesus in linen, as described in scripture.
00:32Publicly displayed since the 1350s, the Shroud has fascinated both skeptics and believers.
00:38In 1578, it was moved to the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin.
00:46Italian researchers used wide-angle X-ray scattering to date the Shroud of Turin
00:51by measuring flaxcellulose aging.
00:52X-ray revealed cellulose patterns, composed of degrading sugar molecule chains.
00:58The team analyzed humidity and temperature effects to accurately date the cloth's manufacture.
01:03Researchers concluded the Shroud of Turin was stored in a humid environment,
01:07above 72.5 degrees Fahrenheit, for 13 centuries before reaching Europe.
01:13Its cellulose profile matched a first-century Masada linen sample,
01:17dated 55 to 74 AD, but not medieval linens.
01:21This challenges the 1988 study's findings.
01:25Questioning its accuracy and suggesting the Shroud's authenticity aligns with Jesus' era.
01:32In the 1980s, researchers' conclusions about the Shroud of Turin
01:36might be flawed due to contamination affecting carbon-14 test accuracy.
01:42Impurities lead to unreliable dating, if not cleaned.
01:44Analyzing from outer to inner parts showed increased carbon-14 levels,
01:49requiring high temperatures for accurate results.
01:53Researchers have examined the Shroud of Turin's mystery for centuries,
01:56with over 170 papers supporting its authenticity.
02:00Tests in the 1970s didn't prove the image was faked.
02:03In 2017, ferritin and creatinine linked to trauma were discovered,
02:07yet authenticity remains unconfirmed.
