Can a 6,000-year-old shroud uncovered in the Judean Desert in 1993 help illuminate the centuries-old debate over the Shroud of Turin? That is the question posed by Olga Negnevitsky, a conservator at the Israel Museum who was involved in the conservation of the lesser-known shroud for the Antiquities Authority after it was discovered inside a small cave near Jericho. The idea to use the older shroud to learn more about the famous one came to Negnevitsky this week after she listened to an address on the Shroud of Turin at the International Art Conference in Jerusalem on the conservation of cultural and environmental heritage. "If we reexamine the [Jericho] shroud with all the latest modern technology, then maybe we will find out more information that will help solve the secrets of the Shroud of Turin," Negnevitsky said Wednesday. The finely-decorated shroud, which is 7 meters by 2 m., was found by Israeli archeologists at the entrance to what has been dubbed the Cave of the Warrior, during a search for additional Dead Sea Scrolls near Wadi el-Makkukah. Instead of finding biblical scrolls, the archeologists stumbled on the 6,000-year-old tomb of a nobleman whose body was wrapped in an elaborate linen shroud. The skeleton was accompanied by a long flint blade, wooden bowls, sandals of thick leather, and bows. The shroud, like the Shroud of Turin, had signs of blood on it, likely from a wound suffered by the bandaged warrior, Negnevitsky said. After painstaking preservation, the shroud was displayed at the American Museum of Natural History in New York in 1998 and then at the Israel Museum in 2003 before being placed in the storeroom of the Antiquities Authority in Jerusalem, she said.

The Shroud of Turin is a linen cloth, about 4.3 m. long and 90 cm. wide, that is kept in a cathedral in Turin, Italy. It bears the faint image of a blood-covered man and is believed by some to be Jesus's burial cloth. A 1998 radiocarbon test dated the cloth from some time between 1260 and 1390 CE, ruling out any connection with Jesus.

Sounds like the investigation to prove whether there was a inacuracy of carbon dating on the Shroud of Turin is still ongoing.

Yes, I would agree that carbon dating is inaccurate for reasons of where things might have been hidden on this planet for long or short periods of time. Meaning, different environments house different elements in preservation. What may appear ancient in its elements may in fact be only a few years old in comparison of what might be young in its elements can in fact be ancient.

If this is the real death shroud of our Savior Christ Jesus seemingly depicting His image through some ancient linen, I can guarantee that no one on this planet will ever find the real age of this anomaly especially, with the help of our current primitive technologies.
Do we not know and realize by now that Jesus was and is a supernatural being and therefore does not dwell in the time space continuum as we all lived and currently live in today. For He is from the past, present and future, therefore, His death shroud will be in fact incomprehensible and inconceivable as to its true age. Meaning, that the death shroud is timeless in its creation.

With all of that being said, then one would not speculate that it is quite possible and most probable that the Shroud of Turin is in fact authentic, for as you have previously posted, that carbon dating on this particular shroud is still inaccurate and still ongoing to this day on discovering its authenticity and true age.

I still say the guy on this sheet looks too Northern European to be Christ. The image also shows some serious muscle development of someone who controled a horse with his legs. This guy is built like someone who just about lived on a horse.

There were saviors in every millennium of this planet, all more false than the other. Yosuah ben Joseph only wanted to be king of Judea, a religious king. This is why Ponce Pilate got him arrested by 800 of his best legionnaires. He was elected god by the council of Nicae (Turkey). When humanity will start to have faith in themselves rather than some obscure invisible deity... it's absurd...
En attendant Godot.
pffffffffffffffffffff

Don't "true" Christians beleive the world to be only 4000 years old? They certainly can't use a 6000 yr old artifact as evidence.....

I'm not sure if it is 4000 years or more/less. But they've made a loophole, according to them the technology we use to verify the age of items discovered is inaccurate.
