Skeptics believe the 14-foot cloth was faked during medieval times. Scientists have used various methods, including carbon dating, to test the authenticity of the fabric, and some results have supported the belief that the cloth is a medieval forgery. But there might be new evidence to support the view that the shroud is real.
Scientists at the University of Padua in Northern Italy have conducted experiments that show the shroud dates back to around the time of Christ’s life, according to an article in the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
The researchers used infra-red light to analyze fibers from the shroud. Their analysis was published in the new book, “Il Mistero della Sindone” (The Mystery of the Shroud”) by Giulio Fanti, a professor of mechanical and thermal measurement at the university, and Saverio Gaeta, a journalist, the Telegraph also reported.
