The actual material of the shroud is linen, produced around 1250-1390 CE. In 1988, three laboratories (at Oxford, Zurich, and the University of Arizona) used accelerator mass spectrometry to carbon-date samples of the shroud, all arriving at approximately the same age.
Microanalyst Walter C. McCrone examined tape-lifted samples from the shroud and identified the supposed blood as tempera paint containing red ochre and vermilion along with traces of rose madder.
The shroud is made of linen which was used 2000 year ago.

The Shroud of Turin is thought to be the burial cloth that covered the body of Jesus after he was crucified and it is some type of heat given off by Jesus' body that made the image seen on the shroud. Many people say it's a fake, but, those people have Not been able to duplicate the image found on the Shroud using materials that people in Medieval times would have access to. Until someone can duplicate the Shroud using Medieval materials, the Shroud should be assumed to be authenticate. Until it's proven to be a forgery, then assume it's real. Anyone can say it's a fake, but, they have not been able to duplicate it used Medieval materials.
The Shroud does date back to Medieval times.
