Shroud of Turin’s Image: 800 Years of Quiet Debate

New scientific tests on the Shroud of Turin, which went on display Saturday in a special TV appearance introduced by the Pope, dates the cloth to ancient times, challenging earlier experiments dating it only to the Middle Ages. Pope Francis sent a special video message to the televised event in the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, Italy, which coincided with Holy Saturday, when Catholics mark the period between Christ’s crucifixion on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter Sunday. The Vatican, tiptoeing carefully, has never claimed that the 14-foot linen cloth was, as some believers claim, used...

Area 51’s Traces: Evidence of the Unseen?

A dusty unmarked road leads to the front gate of Area 51 in the center of the desolate Nevada desert. It is only surrounded by a chain-link fence, a boom gate, and ominous trespassing signs. One would assume that America's much-mythologized top-secret military base would be better guarded but make no mistake: it is. They are keeping an eye on you. Any angle is visible from beyond the fence, which is guarded by cameras. A white pickup truck with a tinted windshield sits atop a distant hilltop, peering down on everything below. According to locals, the base is aware of...

Sequenced DNA from Egyptian mummies revealed that ancient Egyptians had different ancestry and genetic roots from the people south of the Sahara desert.

Genetic analysis reveals a close relationship with Middle Easterners, not central Africans. The tombs of ancient Egypt have yielded golden collars and ivory bracelets, but another treasure — human DNA — has proved elusive. Now, scientists have captured sweeping genomic information from Egyptian mummies. It reveals that mummies were closely related to ancient Middle Easterners, hinting that northern Africans might have different genetic roots from people south of the Sahara desert. The study, published on 30 May in Nature Communications1, includes data from 90 mummies buried between 1380 BC, during Egypt’s New Kingdom, and AD 425, in the Roman era. The findings show that...
