The Shroud of Turin is not a hoax. What Dr. Tite did is a hoax.



THE FRAUD RECONSTITUTED

A. THE PREMEDITATION OF A PERFECT CRIME:

a) At Turin, when the samples were taken, Tite introduced
Prélèvements_Saint-Suaire
  • into tube 1 : the sample of the Holy Shroud;
  • into tube 2 : a medieval cloth (11th-12th century);
  • into tube 3 : under the false label “ linen associated with a mummy of Cleopatra ”, a sample of 14th century cloth, a “ double ” of the Holy Shroud.
b) In each laboratory, after changing round samples 1 and 3:
Prélèvements Saint-Suaire
  • tube 1, labelled “ Shroud ”, contains the Holy Shroud's double, the pseudo-mummy.
  • tube 2, no change.
  • tube 3, labelled “ mummy ”, contains the Holy Shroud.
c) Results to be obtained:
  • Sample 1 : 14th century... is the pseudo-mummy declared to be the Holy Shroud!
  • Sample 2 : 11th-12th century... is the mediaeval cloth.
  • Sample 3 : 1st century… is the Holy Shroud declared to be the mummy!

B. THE REALISATION, MODIFIED THREE TIMES, MADE THE CRIME PATENT:

a) At Turin, on April 21, 1988, Dr. Tite introduced
Prélèvements Saint-Suaire
  • into tube 1: the Holy Shroud;
  • into tube 2: the 12th century cloth;
  • into tube 3: a piece of cloth from a 14th-15th century collection;
  • into an envelope 4 : threads from a 13th century cope.
b) In the laboratories, too late a dating for sample 1, the Shroud's “ double ”, necessitated substituting sample 4 for sample 1, perhaps in part at Zurich, but certainly at Oxford.
c) Vulnerable results: technically perfect, statistically unacceptable:
Prélèvements Saint-Suaire
  • Sample 1 : statistical analysis demonstrates the heterogeneity of the sampling.
  • Sample 2 : as expected.
  • Sample 3 : the substitute is not very consistent with the dates of the Cleopatra mummy known to history (2nd century), nor with the dates obtained in 1987 by means of the classical carbon 14 dating method, an unverified dating: 110 BC - 75 AD. On the other hand, it falls exactly within the years expected for the Holy Shroud: 11-64 AD, that is 37 ± 27, completing the proof that the Holy Shroud was buried beneath the label of a forgotten mummy.
  • Sample 4 : admirably dated by efficient machines.
