bbc - shroud of turin (2008)
information
first aired: 22 march, 2008
this year is the 20th anniversary of the c14 dating of the shroud of turin that
identified the most famous relic in christendom as a fake. but since then,
despite many attempts, no one has been able to determine who the forger was or
how it might have been done. rageh omaar sets out to find out exactly what it
is about the image that has defied imitation and explores new evidence that
challenges the verdict on the shroud.
with unique access to the shroud itself and those closest to it, rageh goes on
his own journey of discovery. he also visits the leader of the 1978 us
investigation that was given access to the cloth for a week, dr john jackson,
who reveals the results from the data collected and a lifetime of research.
two other shrouds of christ have existed at different times down the centuries.
one is the shroud of constantinople, described as having an image of christ and
stolen by the crusaders in 1204. the turin shroud appeared 150 years later in
the family of one of those crusaders. the other is the shroud of jerusalem that
wrapped jesus' body. with the help of a team of international scholars rageh
explores new evidence that links the turin shroud to both locations and times.
could they be one and the same? but if they are, where does that leave the
carbon 14 test?
new information about the behaviour of c14 in the atmosphere exists which was
unknown 20 years ago when the shroud was dated. a new hypothesis has come
forward that could explain how genuinely old linen could produce a much younger
date in certain conditions.
