The Shroud of Turin: Did Science Just Reveal Proof of the Resurrection? (06E02)

but, [clears throat] I've got a couple of issues with that, uh, with the, with the shroud, though, because it only came to light, only came to surface in the 1350s in France, I think a place called Lirey.

And s- there was actually a, a French knight that brought it through.

Uh, his name was Geoffroy de Charny, I think his name was.

[clears throat] And it stayed in France for-

Was he one of the Templars?

I dunno, I dunno what type of knight he was.

He was a French knight, so I dunno what the ...

The, the French knights were Too- Teutons, weren't they? Teutonic, I think.

But anyway.

They started the Templars.

Um-

The, the, the ones that-

The, the Shroud eventually, the S- the Shroud eventually moved across to Turin.

I think it was, like, in, uh, 1700s, I think, or the fift- no, 1500s.

It moved across to Turin.

So yeah, I'm k- I'm keen to hear about it because they reckon it's, it's very difficult to ascertain when, when it came from, what k- it came from, because there's so much different DNA.

[clears throat] Human DNA, different DNA from India to Africa to, uh, medieval Europe to-

Well, it was just like everyone just using it as a blanket.

Like, everywhere it went, they just-

Uh, well, you must remember it's 1,300 years old when it came through, so how many people handled it? Uh, there's dog and chicken and cat DNA on there.

There is pollen and other plant DNA.

So it's f- uh, uh ...

But Father says there's some new evidence, so that's gonna be quite interesting to hear what's going on.

Okay.

Well, introduce Father Damon so that the people that have never list- been on this podcast know who he is.
