> Modern science has completed hundreds of thousands of hours of detailed
study and intense research on the Shroud. It is, in fact, the single
most studied artifact in human history, and we know more about it today
than we ever have before. And yet, the controversy still rages.

**It is wrong to say that the "Shroud of Turin is material manufactured some
time between 1260 and 1390 AD.".
The Carbon-14 test of 1988 is not valid, as the scientists of Los Alamos
National Laboratory (LANL), like Raymond N.Rogers, have proved. The piece
tested by Carbon-14 is not representative of the whole. Scientists only took
it, it was a mistake, they did not test the difference between the French
weaving and the original cloth. It was tested with different tests and found
out that the Shroud of Turin dates back to the 1st century and to Palestine.
I have with me the entire Report of Dr.O.Linoli in Italian: 'Ricerche
istologiche, immunologiche e biochemiche sulla Carne e sul Sangue del
Miracolo Eucaristico di Lanciano (VIII secolo)", Edizioni S.M.EI.,
:Lanciano, II Edizione, printed from U.O. di Anatomia e Istologia e di
Citogenetica, Presidio Ospedaliero della U.S.L., N.23--Arezzo. It is
concluded that it is going back to the 1st century and to Palestine (see
pp.9, 11, 15). About human origin of the flesh and blood, it says: "La
natura umana e dell'antica Carne di Lanciano...dimostrata immunologicamente
a mezzo di reazione di precipitazione zonale di Uhlenhuth". In the blood
there is sensible reduction of sodium, potassium, chlorates, phosphorus and
magnesium, whereas calcium is increased (p.15).
Church authorities keep quiet in spite of the scientific evidence. It is not
only "representation" of Christ's burial cloth, but the same shroud that
wrapped the body of Jesus in the tomb of Joseph of Arimatheia.
