We're doing an in-depth examination of the evidence that the Shroud of Turin dates to the medieval period and is not the burial shroud of Jesus Christ. In this first episode, we're covering the radiometric dating & the "invisible patch" hypothesis. Next episode we'll be looking at how the image was made, the historical evidence, and a bunch of other claims.
