The Shroud of Turin is a length of linen cloth bearing the image of a man who appears to have been crucified. It is one of the most famous and controversial religious relics in the world. Some believe that it is the actual burial shroud of Jesus Christ, while others believe that it is a medieval forgery.
The Shroud of Turin has been the subject of numerous scientific studies, but its authenticity remains a mystery. Radiocarbon dating tests conducted in 1988 suggested that the shroud was made in the 13th or 14th century, but some scientists have questioned the validity of these tests. Other studies have suggested that the image on the shroud is not the result of a human artist, but rather a supernatural event.
