Something else just triggered memory of some Shroud questions which was never answered for us.
GOD BLESS US ALL!
- Who actually pressed for C14 testing in the first place?
I first read it was an Anglican group in Britain, but never could confirm it. - The original protocol for the test required multiple sample sites. That was blatantly violated when only a single sample site was chosen. Don’t blame the Church here, as their representative was being shoved to the back at this point, so I read.
(You don’t perform C14 on the highest profile, and arguable most important, historical artifact of all time and then violate the protocol without a pretty good reason.) - Supposedly this protocol violation was why the article ended up in Nature Magazine, rather than one of the two recognized radiocarbon journals… it could pass peer review for Nature, but could not pass peer review for those others.
GOD BLESS US ALL!
