Season 2 · Episode 4 · Apr 21, 1995

The Shroud of Turin, long thought to be Jesus Christ's burial garment, has inspired the faithful for centuries. But one very important question remains is it authentic, or merely a medieval forgery? Since it first appeared in 1357, the Shroud, a yellowed linen cloth that bears the faint image of a crucified man, has prompted one of the greatest detective stories of modern times. Now, ANCIENT MYSTERIES tackles the enigma of the Shroud with an in-depth examination of the garment and its history. Through numerous scientific tests, conflicting and sometimes shocking results have kept its true origins a mystery, but startling new evidence suggests that the shroud may have actually covered the body of Christ. Get an up-close look at the famed Shroud, and examine the results of the test that seem to prove it is genuine.
