the Shroud of Turin
The Shroud of Turin is a centuries-old cloth believed by some to be the burial shroud of Jesus Christ. It features a faint image of a man who appears to have been crucified, showing wounds consistent with the biblical account of Jesus' death. The shroud measures about 14 feet long and is made of linen. While some consider it a significant religious artifact, scientific tests, including radiocarbon dating, suggest it was created in the Middle Ages, making its authenticity as the burial cloth of Jesus debated among scholars and scientists.
