Asking yourself

Has there been a substitution of the Shroud of Turin in the early twentieth century?

Maybe if you come to this page, you should know some little things about the Shroud of Turin and some of the contradictions that surrounds its scientific studies. May I remind you the problematic about its authenticity:

1. Tests conducted in Zurich, Oxford, and Arizona using AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry) gave a definitive result by Carbon-14 dating. We cannot argue, following ill-informed correspondents, that foreign bodies like carbon have changed the result. The fragments were carefully washed before determination and thoroughness with which the review was conducted does not doubt. Nor, we cannot speculate on imaginary radiations that would have disrupted the sample. If this were the case, radiocarbon tend to increase its value and the result would date the linen before Christ.

2. If the determinations of 1988 are certain, the conclusion is that someone from the thirteen century has falsified the impression.

3. And if that "someone from the medieval" had the prodigious knowledge of forensic for:
  • Get a perfect photographic negative when the technical picture was unknown
  • Get a correct three-dimensional image before the analysis of the twentieth century by NASA
  • Know how in reality was the crown of thorns;
  • Know the exact point of the crucifixion in a space named "Destot" while at this epoch painters represented the nailing in the palm of the tortured;
  • Know the exact brands of torture;
  • Have dared to paint a naked Jesus at a time when modesty forbade such representation;
  • Know how to forge with equal precision and scholarly knowledge of the twentieth century, a semi-incandescent image!

Examining thoroughly the case everybody come to understand they were contradictions. And at the top of these contradictions, is the C14 datation of the linen (1268 AD) against the necessary medical and technical knowledge need to create a so precise forgery at this epoch.

So either :
  • Hyp. 1 : The C14 datation is wrong
  • Hyp. 2 : The actual Shroud of Turin is a forgery
