The 1980s carbon dating of the Shroud of Turin produced a medieval date that has been widely cited as definitive proof the relic is a forgery. Randall Carlson argues the result cannot be trusted on methodological grounds - specifically, the question of which part of the Shroud was actually sampled. The Shroud has undergone multiple repair jobs across its history, introducing sections of cloth significantly younger than the original linen. If the samples submitted for carbon dating came from a repaired section rather than the original fabric, the resulting date would reflect the age of the patch rather than the age of the Shroud itself. Randall has assembled extensive material on the testing protocols used, and considers this sampling problem serious enough to render the medieval dating inconclusive rather than definitive.

The pyramids of Egypt were never tombs. Christopher Dunn, a former aerospace engineer, says the Great Pyramid looks like a power plant. New synthetic aperture radar scans reveal what appear to be hollow tubes running possibly a kilometer deep underneath the structures. No pharaoh has ever been found buried inside any of them. Here's where it gets even stranger... Below the temple at Dendera, the hieroglyphics on the walls literally translate to "Stargate." There are two or three separate depictions. Small chambers inside the Great Pyramid are sized for a human to lie in. The so-called sarcophagus in the Queen's Chamber may actually be a healing device. We've been told these were tombs for over a century. The evidence says otherwise. Episode with Steve Colbern out now.
