Kind of strange Shroud of Turin ping to an article comparing Gary Vikan’s book concluding the Shroud of Turin is a 14th Century hoax to the Russia, Russia, Russia — Trump Collusion hoax of the past four or so years. I know, long stretch, but there it is. Vikan’s theory that the Shroud is a Medieval transfer print Hoax doesn’t hold water because there is no such remnant of any transfer media on the Shroud down to the electronmicrspectroscopic level, a test which could tell the composition and manufacturer of the vinyl baggies the samples had been transported in from the traces of vinyl left on the on sample. If there were any pigment or staining media, even a remainder of such a media, on the Shroud, it would have been detected and revealed by this test. No tannic acid, no iron oxide, no staining or pigment media of any kind. There simply is none. Zip, nada, nothing. Vikan has no evidence to support his Shroud of Turin hoax conclusion... about as much as the Democrats had to accuse the President of colluding with the Russians in the 2016 Presidential Election. — Shroud of Turin PING!

If you want on or off the Shroud of Turin Ping List, Freepmail me.

Thank you Swordmaker.

For those that make it this far, I posted this not to promote a nutcase theory about the Shroud of Turin, but to show this nutcase and his TDS in full view.

These people really do exist, and get paid to publish this drivel.

Both the commentator and Vikan, IMO, are in rebellion against the Creator of the universe.

And exhibit classic TDS.
