The Shroud of Turin is a medieval linen cloth which bears an image of a man. For centuries Christians have believed that this man is, in fact, the Jesus of Nazareth and was wrapped around his body after he was crucified. This Shroud of Turin documentary presented by Rageh Omaar examines whether or not these beliefs are indeed true or the whole thing was a forgery.
Using modern science it has been proven that the 4.4m by 1.1m piece of cloth was actually a fake with radiocarbon dating showing it was made centuries after the death of Jesus. If you would like to examine the cloth for yourself you can head over to the objects website shroud.com.
