The Shroud of Turin
A recent study suggests that the Shroud of Turin is around 2,000 years old:
Method
Italian researchers used a technique called wide-angle X-ray scattering to examine samples of the shroud's fabric.
Analysis
The researchers studied the flax cellulose in the samples, which are long chains of sugar molecules that gradually break down over time.
Results
The study's results are consistent with the idea that the shroud is 2,000 years old, but more research is needed to confirm the exact date.
The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth that some believe was used to bury Jesus Christ. It has been kept in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy since 1578, with the exception of World War II when it was moved for safety.
