>A panel of scientists give a press conference in August 1988 to announce the Shroud of Turin as a medieval forgery following rounds of radiocarbon dating of the mysterious cloth. Despite this debate over the shroud's true nature rages on.[3]

What's interesting:

>the shroud shows a guy with wounds in his wrists
>medieval artwork always depicted Jesus with his hands nailed to the cross since they apparently didn't know that Roman crucifixions involved driving the nails into the wrists as the hands would not be able to support the weight of the body
>it was not until relatively more recently that this was clarified
>text was found imprinted on the shroud reading simply "Nazarine" which no medieval artist would have done Jesus would always be referred to in formal terms
>the text was in a font commonly used in the 1st century Roman Empire

You seeen the nose on thise guys?

The radiocarbon dating those 80s era tests used is now considered inaccurate and superseded by better more modern methods.

I don't think making a fake corpse rag is very formal. The knowledge of where to put nails probably hadn't been lost yet.

Furthermore, the problem with nailing through the hands is it wouldn't work. People were never crucified that way. It was always an artistic depiction

Atheists don't care since they can't reason. You'll not change their minds.
