Is the Shroud of Turin genuine? That is the question that Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas set out to answer in the follow-up to their ground-breaking first book, The Hiram Key. For over 700 years the world thought the shroud bore the image of the crucified Christ, but results of carbon dating have shown that the fabric could not have predated 1260. The authors have produced new evidence that conclusively proves that it is not a fake-yet neither is it the image of Jesus Christ. As they continue their research into the mysteries of Freemasonry and the true historical Jesus, the authors have uncovered the precise time and place of the shroud's creation, as well as the people involved! The answer to the great mystery of the Shroud of Turin will surprise and astonish-as the authors unlock the secrets of abandoned Freemason rituals and the man who would be called the Second Messiah!
