  • 'Shroud of Turin's Authenticity Probed Anew' (discovery.com): 'Shroud scholars, known as sindonologists, have always argued that no medieval forger could either have produced such an accurate fake or anticipated the invention of photography.'

  • Great word!

    Just once, though, I'd like some medieval people to come back and show us how they anticipated photography, say, or give us the cure for cancer, or something. Just to prove they weren't as stupid as they're always being made out to be.

    Or, you know, maybe they were.

  • According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sindonology#The_controversy σινδων is 'the word used in the Gospel of Mark to describe the type of cloth that Joseph of Arimathea bought to use as Jesus' burial cloth', so perhaps they roam Arimathea.
