Archeology 201 Guidelines

If Indiana Jones happened to be a member of Tweb, this is where he'd hang out.

Welcome to the Archeology forum. Were you out doing some gardening and dug up a relic from the distant past? would you like to know more about Ancient Egypt? Did you think Memphis was actually a city in Tennessee?

Well, for the answers to those and other burning questions you've found the right digs.

Our forum rules apply here too, if you haven't read them now is the time.

    A laptop, a Barbie, and two joined paper towels drawn on with a sharpie.

    Yep, thar be proof alright. ( I stopped watching when this guy folded the paper towel over the Barbie face to make his point.)
    As a point of actual history, the cloth that would have covered Jesus face was called an the Shroud of Oviedo


    And now this: If you have 88 minutes it is well worth your time.

      First you have no knowledge that I know of what the chain of custody was handled. As far as I am concerned as I followed the original story the samples were requested and taken and handled between two scientists. Are you privy to knowledge that the samples were not properly handled that is not public knowledge.

      But the bigger issue is that McCrone didn't do his homework - OF COURSE there's some residue of paint on the shroud - for centuries copies were made to be displayed elsewhere and they were touched to the original in a sort of sanctification (they weren't fakes but reproductions for display purposes). Those were indeed painted and transfer is inevitable. The DNA in the bloodstains, ye who didn't read the link, proves there are indeed blood stains on the shroud - a LOT of them, actually.
      As in other types of thes materials blood was used with pigments as found in the shroud.

      McCrone is the chief skeptic. He has also been thoroughly refuted.

        I did not say that - I said the chain of evidence was in question, not that it was proven corrupt. In question is sufficient - McCrone wasn't one of the actual researchers and didn't examine all the samples. The contamination was a known factor BEFORE the exam - which means McCrone didn't do his homework, as previously stated.

        Not human blood, no it wasn't. Heck, I don't know of any citations of animal blood used in pigmentation (blood stains, it won't paint well) or of animal DNA found in the blood stains. A medieval forger - or a 1st Century forger - would be incredibly unlikely to use human blood. The law frowns on most ways of obtaining it and why bother when the slaughter house is just down the street?

          Your claim is hearsay, not admissible.

          speculation. It was common for people to actually crucified in the manner of Christ, plenty of human blood was available from many sources.

            Then neither is McCrone's testing - chain of evidence is in question and that makes the results inadmissible.

            Not speculation - blood doesn't stay liquid that long (I do venipunctures and serum exams for a living), dead bodies are terrible sources of blood (it coagulates quickly - it's supposed to), and there's no evidence that the Romans would have let someone bleed their victims (or any subsequent rulers, for that matter) making getting human blood difficult. Since human blood is indistinguishable from animal blood up until the 19th century, the use of human blood would have been unnecessary to the purpose of the hypothetical forger.

            Now go read the links and quit stalling.

              Just a quick note, here: the presence of human DNA on fibers from the shroud does not prove that those fibers came in contact with blood. Skin cells and hair cells, in particular, could very well have been the source for such DNA-- perhaps from previous handlers, inspectors, or venerators.

              What evidence is there that this DNA originated from blood rather than some other source?

                  It's a debunk. You just don't want to admit you were wrong.

                    I wonder how many here watched the 80 minute video I posted, since no one is saying a word about its content.

                      I watched it, thought it was pretty interesting, but didn't have anything meaningful to add.

                        I can't do a lot of videos - and you can forget anything that long. I'd be glad to watch it at some later, better connected, date.

                          Not many people are going to watch a freaking 80 minute video. This is a discussion forum, not a movie theater.

                              I've seen it, and agree with robrecht. What do you think was meaningful about it?
