another separate cloth, also mentioned in the bible. and he saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on jesus head. we ve taken this cloth into the laboratory, analyzed what the stains are made of, and most of them are one part blood and six parts fluid, which is a liquid which collects in the lungs when somebody dies of asphyxiation. scholars believe that most victims of crucifixion would have died of suffocation, and the fluids associated with this would be left in the lungs. guskin s studies appear to shine new light into a part of the jesus story previously unknown, using a near perfect replica of the cloth. what these experiments showed
record of the relic tied it to jerusalem just over 500 years after jesus death. for guskin, these records suggest it is at least 700 years older than the shroud. how could that be? guskin believes the dating of the shroud must be wrong. now, that is an incredible conclusion, because they could only have coincided in jerusalem sometime before the 5th century, which says an awful lot about the dating of the shroud of turin and how it does not date from the medieval times. and is, in fact, a much earlier cloth. despite decades of scientific scrutiny, for many, the mystery and power of the shroud of turin still remains. i do think it would be possible for the shroud that wrapped jesus to survive until
us is that, first of all, the cloth was placed on a dead body because all the blood stains coming out are absolutely incompatible with any kind of breathing movement. if guskin is correct, then then joseph of arimathea would have wrapped this on jesus face while he was still on the cross. the face cloth was used in jewish burial customs because the face is really the seat of the soul when that person dies. the face is the first thing that is covered. it must be treated with the greatest respect. the reason joseph became proactive in making sure jesus had a proper, honorable burial, i think this is joseph s own way of saying, i did not do what i should have done.
