The Shroud was proclaimed a fake and one of the scientists who measured its age labeled belief in it on par with being a flat-earther. But that didn’ ...

ColinB aka writes back: OK Dan, so I can understand why you dislike the claim that the reweaving of the sampled regions took place after the fire, as a response to the fire. Who in their right mind would go the trouble of invisible, or near invisible reweaving on an inconspicuous corner of the cloth ...

Yannick Clément writes: The thing that I don’t understand his why Ramsey said what he said in the David Rolfe documentary (that the C14 result of 88 was really questionnable) and now, he seem to have completely changed his mind.

A reader writes: With regards to the SSG posting about the Argenteuil robe and carbon dating by Giulio, I am speechless. Good grief.
