DNA analysis has been done on dust particles collected from the TS. It is able to identify plant and human particles and their estimated geographic origin. Several plant taxa native to the Mediterranean area were identified as well as species with a primary center of origin in Asia, the Middle East or the Americas but …
Using Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS), a sample of the TS was compatible with a 1st century dating. A team from the Institute of Crystallography in Bari, Italy, with the support of the National Research Council, led by Liberato De Caro, has published a new study on the dating of the Shroud of Turin which …
Calcium particles on the feet area of the shroud chemically match those in areas of Jerusalem. In addition, a fiber taken from the foot-area of the Shroud’s body-image was tested for calcium and was found to match the chemical composition of limestone found in Jerusalem, in particular the limestone found at the burial sites of …
The TS is claimed to be almost 2000 years old. Is it even possible for a linen cloth to last so long? Yes, linen fabric can last a long time. We have many linen cloth that are even older than the TS. Mummy bandage inscribed with a falcon. 1000–945 B.C. Henettawy’s unembalmed body was wrapped …
The linen threads on the shroud do not all have the exact same color. The threads have been produced in batches and because each batch has slight differences with another, it results in the banding effect on the cloth. Bands of slightly different color can be seen in Shroud photographs. They are most visible in …
But, let’s look at the article: Although the grave in the Ben Hinnom Valley (Akeldama) in Jerusalem was visited by robbers, there was a single, sealed and untouched loculus. Upon opening this grave a black mass of material and bones were found. The mass itself appeared to be made up of fabric and human hair. …
Let me go into a little more detail about the timing of events. There are 4 major phases of the flood: the rupture phase, the flood phase, the continental drift phase, and the recovery phase. During the rupture phase, the crack on the crust formed that started at the mid-Oceanic ridge and traveled around the …
OK, I’ve come up with some predictions off the top of my head. I have not gone into researching if there are evidence for or against these predictions yet, but I just wanted to get the discussion going. Some of these predictions might be impossible to have any evidence for or against right now, but …

As the water eroded the sides of the crust, it carried sediments and deposited it rapidly around the world. The entire world was covered with water and sediments at this point. Meanwhile, the crust was gradually settling as the water underneath decreased. As the land mountain ranges were forming and as the sediments in the …
