The Shroud of Turin: Ancient Relic or Medieval Forgery? Tucker Carlson’s Dive Reignites the Debate
In a captivating episode of “The Tucker Carlson Show,” host Tucker Carlson delves into one of history’s most enigmatic artifacts: the Shroud of Turin. Featuring biblical scholar Jeremiah Johnston, the discussion challenges decades of skepticism, presenting new scientific evidence that the Shroud may indeed be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Carlson, known for tackling controversial topics, highlights how experts once dismissed it as a fake, but emerging data suggests otherwise—perhaps even deliberate suppression of the truth. This episode, released on August 8, 2025, has sparked renewed fascination, prompting millions to reconsider the Shroud’s authenticity amid ongoing scientific scrutiny. The Shroud of Turin is a 14-foot-long linen cloth bearing the faint, bloodstained image of a crucified man, front and back, as if wrapped around a body.
Housed in the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy, since 1578, it has been venerated by Christians as the burial garment described in the Gospels. According to the New Testament, Jesus was wrapped in linen after his crucifixion and placed in a tomb, only to rise three days later. The Shroud’s image shows wounds consistent with Roman crucifixion: nail marks in the wrists and feet, scourge lashes on the back, and a spear wound in the side. There’s also evidence of a crown of thorns, with blood flows matching arterial and venous patterns.Historically, the Shroud’s provenance is murky. It first surfaced in Lirey, France, around 1355, owned by knight Geoffroi de Charny.

Skeptics argue this timing aligns with medieval relic forgery, a booming industry during the Crusades. However, proponents trace it back further, linking it to the “Image of Edessa,” a cloth with Christ’s face mentioned in 6th-century Byzantine texts. Pollen analysis by Swiss criminologist Max Frei in the 1970s identified 49 plant species, 14 unique to the Dead Sea and Jerusalem regions, suggesting a Middle Eastern origin. Coins over the eyes in the image resemble Pontius Pilate-era lepta, dated to 29-32 AD. Scientific investigation intensified in 1898 when photographer Secondo Pia discovered the Shroud’s image was a photographic negative—revealing a positive, lifelike face when inverted.
This anomaly puzzled experts, as photography wasn’t invented until the 19th century. The 1978 Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP), a team of 40 scientists, conducted exhaustive tests. They concluded the image wasn’t painted, dyed, or scorched; it’s a superficial oxidation on the linen fibers, only 200-600 nanometers deep. No pigments or artistic media were found, and the bloodstains tested positive for human blood, type AB, with high bilirubin levels indicating trauma. Yet, the bombshell came in 1988: Radiocarbon dating by labs in Oxford, Zurich, and Arizona dated the cloth to 1260-1390 AD, branding it a medieval fake. This seemed definitive, but controversies arose.
Critics argued the sample was from a repaired patch, contaminated by bacteria, fire residue (from a 1532 blaze), or smoke. A 2005 study in Thermochimica Acta suggested the dating was off by up to 1,300 years due to these factors.Recent advancements have flipped the script. In 2024, Italian researchers at the Institute of Crystallography used wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) to analyze the linen’s cellulose degradation, dating it to around 2,000 years ago—consistent with Jesus’ era. Lead scientist Liberato De Caro emphasized that WAXS avoids carbon dating’s pitfalls, comparing the Shroud’s aging to ancient linens from Masada (55-74 AD). Another 2023 study in Heritage used infrared spectroscopy, reinforcing a first-century origin.
Johnston, in Carlson’s interview, debunks forgery claims, noting the image’s 3D properties—encoded with depth information, as revealed by NASA’s VP-8 Image Analyzer in 1976. This isn’t replicable by medieval artists. The bloodstains precede the image, flowing realistically under gravity, and contain hemoglobin, serum, and creatinine—hallmarks of real trauma. Pollen and dirt match Jerusalem limestone, and the scourge marks align with Roman flagrum whips.Theories on image formation abound. Skeptics propose medieval techniques like bas-relief rubbing or proto-photography, but experiments fail to replicate the Shroud’s properties. Believers suggest a burst of radiation during resurrection, supported by STURP’s findings of vacuum ultraviolet light effects. A 2011 ENEA study using excimer lasers produced similar superficial discoloration, hinting at an unknown energy source.
Despite this, detractors persist. A 2018 study in the Journal of Forensic Sciences claimed the bloodstains don’t match a single body’s position, suggesting staging. Others point to Leonardo da Vinci as a possible forger, though timelines don’t align. The Vatican, owner since 1983, treats it as an icon, not relic, allowing limited access—last exhibited in 2015, next in 2025 for the Jubilee.Carlson’s episode underscores suppression: Why hide positive findings? Johnston alleges deliberate misinformation, echoing debates over the Dead Sea Scrolls. With AI reconstructions creating vivid 3D faces from the image—depicting a Middle Eastern man in his 30s—the Shroud captivates anew.The Shroud remains a Rorschach test for faith and science. For believers, it’s tangible proof of resurrection; for skeptics, a clever hoax. As Tucker probes, “Were they lying?” the mystery endures, bridging ancient history and modern inquiry. Whether divine artifact or human ingenuity, the Shroud challenges us to confront the unknown.
