A team of scientists analyzing the Shroud of Turin, a large piece of cloth believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ Himself, have determined that the shroud does indeed date back to the time of Jesus’ life.
However, in the 1980s, scientists cast doubt on this belief after a team of researchers examined the shroud and declared that it dated back only to the Middle Ages—hundreds, if not over a thousand years after Christ’s death.

Using this system, the 1988 researchers determined that the shroud was manufactured sometime between 1260-1390 AD. Scientists then compared the cellulose breakdown in the shroud to other fabrics dating back to 1st-century Israel and found them to be a match. “If the cleaning procedure of the sample is not thoroughly performed, carbon-14 dating is not reliable,” said the study’s lead author, Dr. Liberato De Caro.
