Italian researchers used specialist x-ray to examine the linen sheet and determine its age.
The Institute of Crystallography of the National Research Council studied eight small samples of fabric to uncover tiny details of the linen's structure and cellulose patterns.
They used specific ageing metrics like temperature and humidity to determine the results.
The Turin Shroud was first displayed publicly in 1350 and since 1578 has been preserved in the royal chapel of the cathedral of San Giovanni Battista in Turin, – hence its name.
