The Shroud of Turin is woven flax, made by a professional-quality weaver, which was likely only to have been owned by a wealthy man
(e.g., Joseph of Arimathea).
The flax fibers are traceable to the Eastern Mediterranean or the Middle East.
The stitching is identical to an artifact found at Masada in Israel, dated between 40 BC and AD 73.
And the cloth has been otherwise dated to between 300 BC and 300 AD.
Chemical and biological testing proves that there are blood stains on the Shroud, of blood type AB and antigen group MNS.
Moreover, there are no paint pigments of any kind on the Shroud—eliminating the possibility that the Shroud is some sort of supremely clever artistic forgery.
The Shroud bears the image of a grown male, five feet eleven inches tall, with shoulder length hair and a beard—a man who had suffered crucifixion in the Roman fashion.
