Filmmaker Robert Orlando dives into the middle of the debate over the shroud's origins and authenticity with a new documentary.
In 1988, carbon-dating tests concluded the Shroud of Turin was a 700-year-old fake. Thirty-five years later, 21st century science is pointing to a dramatically different conclusion.
The carbon tests overseen by the British Museum and Oxford University have since been discredited. For reasons not fully explained, researchers analyzed only a small fiber sample taken from an edge of the shroud that was damaged in a fire in 1532 and mended by Poor Clare nuns using dyes.
Meanwhile, ever more sophisticated tests of the cloth’s pollen, bloodstains, and its perfect three-dimensional imagery are producing mounting evidence that the Shroud of Turin was created in the 1st century by a “nuclear event” that can‘t be replicated by today’s technology.
Filmmaker Robert Orlando dives into the middle of the debate over the shroud's origins and authenticity with a new documentary, The Shroud: Face to Face, set for release in November.
