The second one, proves the date is at the time of Jesus, Israel. Not were we thought it was made, France or Turin, 14th century or later.

All the marks prove is that there was a faint imprint of flowers that look kinda like flowers that grow in Israel at the
time of year that Jesus died. Not the century that he died. I love that you quoted Wikipedia, but ignored the entire

I knew about that theory, but I chose not to mention it as it's untested and (I believe) ultimately unprovable.
