shroud of turin

Scientists have now discovered that the sample in which was taken for carbon dating was not soley the original linen material that the rest of the shroud is made of. They took the sample from a corner of the fabric, which has now been proved to have been a worn out edge/corner which was repaired by weaving in repair cloth work in the 1300's. The shroud had been handled for hundreds of years and was wearing out on the edges due to handling. The woven repairs were a newer fabric than the original linen fabric, and that is where they took a sample for carbon dating. So the carbon dating does not reflect the original linen fabric that the main body of the shroud is created from. So the carbon dating does not reveal the true age of the shroud, just the age that it was repaired.
