Now it may be determined that the results of carbon dating
done in the 80's were skewed due to contamination...
And that it could actually date from the time of Christ...
Several other new discoveries also at play...
I'd highly recommend this program:

However, one theory states that it is a medieval 'forgery'
spawned by the then-thriving market in religious relics...
And, more remarkably, that it was actually the first photograph...!
This entire protophoto process was recreated and demonstrated, and it
produced eerily similar results to the Shroud, including negative images...
Using a compound collector lens** fitted to a dark chamber, or
'camera obscura', the inverted image of a 'corpse' hanging in the
bright sunshine for several days was was projected onto a piece
of light-sensitized fabric that had been soaked in a silver solution...
The theorist concluded that the silver solution would have
been prepared by, and obtained from, the local alchemist... ;)
**Reading glasses and also large convex
lenses were available at the time...
