Many believe it's the burial cloth of Jesus and the only physical link to Him, while others maintain that it is nothing more than an elaborate hoax. In fact, in 1988, a team of scientists radiocarbon-dated the Shroud and concluded it was fake, dating back to the Middle Ages (1290-1360), long after Jesus was crucified. And that's where the story stood, unchallenged until now. Discovery Channel re-opens one of Christianity's greatest mysteries. Ray Rogers, a chemist and member of the original team of scientists who examined the Shroud, went back to examine the sample he tested years earlier, and what he found astonished even himself. UNWRAPPING THE SHROUD: NEW EVIDENCE premieres, Sunday, December 14 at 10 p.m. ET/PT only on Discovery Channel.
