The location of the Shroud of Turin between 1204 during the Fourth Crusade until the middle of the 14th century has been established from documents in the Vatican Secret archives by Vatican researchers. It was in the care of the Knights Templar who used it as part of their initiation.
The Vatican said the mystery of the relic’s missing years has been solved.

42. Shroud of Turin C-14 Samples
Ray Rogers Study of Region Taken
From Shroud for Carbon Dating

44. Fibers from Region used for dating have a
End to end splice – two ends
Show different colors and
Different amount of coating.
Fibers from Region used for dating have a
Yellow-brownish color from gum-arabic used
in textile applications in 16th century.
Fibers from other parts of shroud do not
have the coating.

45. Darn splice used in 16th century - half covered
Starched
end of
Darn
Darn splice used in 16th century - half covered
with starch dates to 13th century AD, other
end claimed to date ~3 century AD.

46. Colored cotton region on a linen thread present in patch region
used for carbon dating which is not present on main body of
Shroud.

47. Lemon-yellow fibers showing black lignin at growth nodes
Results published in 2005
Thermochimica Acta by
Ray Rogers.
Vanillin is a chemical component present in linen from flax fibers used to weave it. Vanillin disappears over time at a calculated rate. A medieval-age cloth should have 37% vanillin left. The shroud body has no Vanillin indicating that it is years old. Dead Sea scrolls have no Vanillin. Radiocarbon samples have Vanillin.

48. Two cotton fibers – one clean and one colored – The clean one
Is from main body of shroud and colored one from repaired region
used for carbon dating.

50. The Shroud after 2002 Restoration

Then Simon Peter went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying, and the napkin which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. The other disciple (John) went in and he saw and believed.

61. The Other Shroud
The Sudarium
Exhibited 3 times a Year at Oviedo, Spain during Mass at Easter, 9/14 and 9/21.
Been in Oviedo since AD 800 and left Palestine in 614 when Persians invaded.
Markings match face image of Shroud of Turin. Have puncture marks from crown of thorns. Was placed over the face for trip from cross to tomb. Has same blood type and pollen as Shroud.

62. Ray Rogers Conclusions 12/2004
The Sudarium of Oviedo shows all the physical and chemical properties of a very old sample of linen. There is a finite probability that the Sudarium is related in time and location to the Shroud of Turin.
