THE ARK, THE SHROUD, AND MARY       Philip Gardiner

The Shroud

The Shroud of Turin is a pale yellow linen cloth that has been fought over both physically and textually for centuries. It is claimed by the ardent believers that the image, almost photographically imprinted on it, is that of Jesus Christ. To others it is a Medieval forgery carried out by Leonardo da Vinci [2]. In the 1980's carbon 14 dating launched the Shroud once again onto the world headlines with so-called evidence that it was of a medieval date. However, ever since that fateful day there has been even more arguing and the latest ideas throw the dating backwards in time and refute the carbon 14 dating, which has been shown by several researchers to be highly flawed.

With this history and with the knowledge of the meaning behind the Shroud I marched headlong into a world of dispute. What I found was that the Shroud is highly likely from the first century; that it was the image of a high-adept or enlightened one, probably later known as Jesus, and that it was formed via an amazing science of sub-atomic radiation. It was in fact the result of a profound and sacred human physical reaction brought on by the mind.

I then discovered that this had been known for a very long time and then I made contact with an ancient Brotherhood who claimed to know who was behind the it all.
