I didn't say the Shroud, the Sudarium is the cloth that wrapped around the head.

John 20:7 calls it the napkin
There is no DNA in blood, but the blood type for the Sudarium is the same as on the Shroud, the odds of that happening by chance is 1/10

There is a big gap between 30 AD and 570 AD or 700 AD. From the article you quoted: "The cloth has been dated to around 700 AD by radiocarbon dating. However, at the same conference at which this information was presented, it was noted that in actuality the cloth has a definite history extending back to approximately 570 AD. The laboratory noted that later oil contamination could have resulted in the late dating.[2]
I would suggest you forget about all these nonsensical relics. The Catholic Church loved to promote relics and all kinds of superstitions, but Christians should ignore all that.

The bottom line is if the Shroud is a counterfeit it is the best counterfeit in human history. No one has been able to replicate it.
The only way this could have been done is if you crucified a real person with the same blood type as Jesus in Jerusalem during Easter, wrapped the body in a cloth that was made with Egyptian cotton and weaved according to an ancient style, then laid in a tomb in Jerusalem, all at the same time as the crusades were going on, you would have had to use ancient tools for the scourging and you would have to get the crown of thorns and put it on his head. You would also have to crucify him the way the Romans did and not the way people thought based on artists renderings, even so you would have 1/10 chance of getting the right blood type.
But even if you did all that how do you get the image on the shroud? No one has been able to replicate that.
Finally, why would you sew the strip that was cut off back on?

I could care less whether you or anyone else is interested in the Shroud of Turin, that is between you and the Lord. Meanwhile I'll let the Lord direct me as what I will consider and what I will forget.
It is astounding to me how arrogant some people can get, people who know absolutely nothing, didn't even know about the Sudarium.

1) The body of Jesus was wrapped in cloth.
2) The 'napkin' was a separate piece for His head.
3) There should be no image of a face on the shroud.
4) The Shroud of Turin was draped over the head and body, not wrapped.
It is all in the details...

The Face cloth ties up the jaw.
Seriously, the Shroud was studied by a team of scientists and some have been studying if for decades. You have 0 idea what you are talking about.
