The Shroud of Turin is one of the most fascinating and controversial objects of religious veneration: it is said that Jesus of Nazareth was wrapped in this cloth after his crucifixion for burial. Is the imprint of this six-foot-tall man bearing the wounds of a crucified man a pious medieval artifact? Or is it actually the impression of a corpse from antiquity? The proponents of the forgery theory, who refer to the results of a radiocarbon analysis, are opposed by researchers who claim to have found solid evidence dating the shroud to the turn of the millennium. How can the contradictory evidence be interpreted? A forensic investigation begins.
