Turin Shroud as old as Jesus, new study finds.

The Shroud of Turin is much older than the medieval date that modern science has affixed to it and could be old enough to have been the burial wrapping of Jesus, a new analysis concludes. Since 1988, most scientists have confidently concluded that it was the work of a medieval artist, because carbon dating had placed the production of the fabric between 1260 and 1390.

Turin Shroud 'shows second face'

New research into the Turin Shroud has added to the mystery surrounding the controversial artefact. A second ghostly image of a man's face has been discovered on the back of the linen, according to a report published by London's Institute of Physics.
