The Second Messiah

s/t: Templars, The Turin Shroud and the Great Secret of FreemasonryIs the Shroud of Turin genuine? For almost seven and a half centuries a piece of cloth was venerated because it bore the image of the crucified Christ, but in 1988 results of carbon dating showed that the fabric could not pre-date 1260. Now new evidence conclusively proves that it is not a fake yet neither is it the image of Jesus Christ. Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas have been able to identify precisely where and when the shroud came into existence and to name the people involved. Using the latest scientific techniques, they explain the strange molecular chemistry that created this unique artifact. In solving the riddle of the shroud, this book unravels a far deeper mystery: how this medieval artifact links directly to Jesus. The guardians of this great secret tied to hide it from the world and their own members. But they failed to destroy the evidence hidden in the abandoned rituals of Freemasonry.
