Real archaeologists discover an actual first century shroud in Jerusalem ( and no, it has nothing to do with goddamn jesus!)

Even less surprising is that it shows that the Turin Shroud is nothing like what was in actual use. Of course, the Shroud Crowd will now conclude that this is fake and theirs is real but truly, nothing else could be expected of a bunch of nuts like that.
Looks as the Church was right after all. It is not authentic.
The finder, archaeologist Shimon Gibson actually has credibility as an archaeologist. Coincidentally, he was involved as a junior member of the team which excavated the Talpiot Tomb and that later jackasses tried to hype as "Jesus' Tomb."

Quote:Radiocarbon tests and artefacts found in the cave prove almost beyond doubt that it was from the same time of Christ's death.
It was made with a simple two-way weave - not the twill weave used on the Turin Shroud, which textile experts say was introduced more than 1,000 years after Christ lived.
And instead of being a single sheet like the famous item in Turin, the Jerusalem shroud is made up of several sections, with a separate piece for the head.
