Actually, Theo, John 20 does coincide with an actual archaeological find from just last year.

Now, don't get too excited. This does not mean the John fable is true....merely that whoever wrote it had some knowledge of ancient Jewish burial techniques.

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.
Professor Shimon Gibson, the archaeologist who discovered the tomb, said ancient writings and contemporary shrouds from other areas had suggested this design, and the Jerusalem shroud finally provided the physical evidence.
Now, don't get too excited. This does not mean the John fable is true....merely that whoever wrote it had some knowledge of ancient Jewish burial techniques.
