Duke Professor Links Shroud to 6th Century Evidence
Duke University psychiatrist Alan D. Whanger presented photos suggesting the Shroud of Turin dates to the 6th century, matching a 7th century Byzantine coin and a 6th century icon. He noted over 60 matching points between the shroud image and the coin and over 45 with the icon, arguing the shroud’s facial imprint predated its documented appearance in 1357 A.D. by about 800 years and influenced later depictions of Christ.
