Yahoo News is reporting that new chemical analysis on the enigmatic Turin Shroud has shown that the the hoax conclusion arrived at after radiocarbon testing may now be in doubt:
The American Shroud of Turin Association for Research (AMSTAR), a scientific organization dedicated to research on the enigmatic Shroud of Turin…announced today that the 1988 Carbon-14 test was not done on the original burial cloth, but rather on a rewoven shroud patch creating an erroneous date for the actual age of the Shroud.
The findings are published in the current issue of Thermochimica Acta, a peer-reviewed chemistry journal.
