Shroud of Turin said to have wrapped Jesus' body may have originated in India: DNA analysis

About 38.7% of human DNA found on Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth housed in Italy's Turin Cathedral believed to have wrapped Jesus Christ's body after crucifixion, belongs to Indian lineages, a DNA analysis suggests. The study indicates the yarn used to make the linen may have originated in India's Indus Valley region. The researchers called the findings "unexpected".
