"It is the either/or proposition. Either the Shroud of Turin is the authentic burial shroud of Jesus, or it isn't.  And if it is not authentic, then what is it?" asked Breault.

The Shroud's History
The Shroud of Turin is a long and narrow linen cloth and has been in Turin, Italy since 1578. It bears the faint image of a 5'10" crucified man with an extensive pattern of bloodstains that match the crucifixion of Jesus.

In 1981, a team of thirty-three American scientists, after analyzing the cloth in Turin for five days,  for 120 hours, conducting dozens of scientific tests, determined the Shroud image was not the work of an artist. 

The image is so superficial as to only affect 1% of a single thread whereas the bloodstains soak all the way through the cloth and are visible on the other side.  The bloodstains are of AB blood type with a high bilirubin content, an enzyme released into the blood during conditions of severe stress.
