The fact that it is about 1300 years younger than the supposed time that jesus lived should tell you that.

Oh and all the relics are bullshit. You could argue the unique relics but many of them have multiple copies and that just doesnt happen.

Yeah, the argument is that they were supposed to sample 4 different areas, instead they sampled one area 4 times and that section had fire damage that messed up the sample.

What they should do is sample it again according the original specs to either confirm or debunk the first findings.

It is interesting. I wish I knew enough about fabric to know how reliable that would be

I think if they did a new test the right way it would be extremely reliable. The old test may be correct. it wasn't bad test, it just had some procedural issues that make the results suspect.

I would rather they do second round of testing, but so far they have not wanted to.
