We don’t discuss Helike enough, and there are so many stories we can learn from it.

You need to update your shroud facts! They have since proven that it is infact legitimate. The piece they tested was proven to be a midevil repair on the burnt piece. It has since been proven true to the correct time. That is Jesus image

They tested a part of the shroud of Turin that was used to fix it during that time. They did not test any of the blood that was shown on the body that it covered. It annoys the hell out of me that these places don't look this crap up better before they distribute this BS to people

Radio carbon dating was done on medieval repair patches done by nuns after the shroud survived a fire. Subsequent testing seems to indicate that the Shroud of Turin is the authentic face of Jesus Christ. Nuclear engineers have shown how it was created on only a single layer of threads & is a perfect negative image, something beyond medieval artists

The shroud of Turin is one of the biggest scams of all human history

The idea that the hieroglyphs of the helicopter is a stone thay had been used 2 is so dumb. 1st of all y would they do that cuz then the glyph wont say what it was ment to and that is just foolish furthermore its not just a helicopter ther is a image of what looks like a tank to in the same spot. Its absolutely foolish to believe that outright lie.

The shroud of Turin is yet more proof we should always question what religion says is fact. Anyone who has a vested interest something being a certain way should be questioned on those grounds alone. Religion of all kinds are some of the biggest lies ever told. Is it all lies IDK bit I guarantee some is and that to is grounds for questioning? Add those 2 with the fact most religious folk get pissed if u dont agree or go along with what they say again not all but most.

No one thought of UFOs until the Jet Engine was developed & used during WWII.

Using thirty eight year old information to draw your conclusions on the Shroud of Turin, while dismissing the latest studies speaks to intentional bias in your reporting. Your title should have read "Our Solutions To Historical Mysteries”.

Your information on the Shroud of Turin needs to be updated. New data shows the dating sample was contaminated. Please update your info.

OK, so it was found not to be the “Ivory Man” but the “Ivory LADY????” OMG! I know you are writing about antiquity, but it is clearly Ivory Man or
Ivory Woman. Geez!!! F-ing Dinosaurs.

Plot twist…the man in the iron mask was indeed the Kings twin that had been succeeded by his father. His brother stole his Identity.
