Recent research suggests the Shroud of Turin, believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus, might be authentic after all.<br /><br />The cloth features faint images of a bearded man and has sparked fierce debate since it was first displayed in the 1350s.<br /><br />In the 1980s, carbon dating indicated the fabric was made between 1260 and 1390 AD. However, a new study by Italian scientists using wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) has dated the cloth to around 2,000 years ago, aligning with the time of Jesus's life.<br /><br />#turinshroud
