"'Pollen from Middle Eastern plant species was found in the dust samples. Among them were plants that only grow in southern Israel, western Jordan, and the Sinai. Dust from the feet area of the Shroud contained a specific calcium carbonate from travertine aragonite limestone, similar to dust taken from a tomb in Jerusalem.'"
"'We know Jesus is crucified...It's the best-established fact of the ancient world on April 3rd, AD 33,' Johnston told podcast host Shawn Ryan."
"'The pollen, which only blooms at Passover (springtime) in Judea, along with the travertine limestone on the shroud, suggests its origin in Jerusalem before traveling through Europe to Italy.'"
The Shroud of Turin, a 14-foot linen cloth, is believed by some to be Jesus' burial cloth, while others claim it is a medieval forgery. A forensic analysis from the 1970s identified 58 types of pollen, with 38 linked to the Jerusalem region, blooming in spring around Passover. The shroud's dust contained specific limestone similar to that from a Jerusalem tomb. Historical records suggest Jesus was crucified on April 3, AD 33, during Passover, supporting the shroud's origin in Jerusalem before its journey to Italy.
