This question is for Dr. Tabor. Could and will DNA testing be done on the bones of jesus or the ossuary in comparison to the DNA on the shroud? Would this not prove a link between the two?

The shroud has been proved to be a 1300's artifact, so there is no connection with the bones

I thought the Terin Shroud was missing x and y chromosones and yet still a man, showing that Jesus had no human parents?

As far as I remember, the shroud was tested by Carbon 14. And it came out that the textiles are dating from the 1300's. Apparently the "blood" stains are pigments.
