Shroud of Turin

There was an interesting piece from the Associated Press recently (read it here), in which a chemist who inspected the Shroud of Turin claims the cloth dates to at least the time of Jesus, that the image has ancient blood on it, and that the cloth was produced by the method typically used in the first century. Interesting, in that this chemist's claims contradict the conclusions others have reached that the Shroud is a medieval forgery. Just thought I would pass this information along.
