The Italian microanalyst, Giovanni Riggi, cut 10mm of the linen, cut it into three equal parts, and then sent it to labs in Zurich, Oxford, and Arizona. These labs performed radioactive carbon dating on it, and the results ranged from 1260 to 1390, therefore proving this shroud was made during medieval times.

Ask any random person if chess should be considered a sport, and the most likely response will be hysterical laughter, yet more people play chess competitively than any other game in the wor .....

East Timor was "one of the last true Polynesian civilizations in the world."(Briere) The invasion by the Indonesians on December 7 1975 was one of the bloodiest slaughters in recent history killing hundreds of thousands. The invasion commenced at dawn with an Air, Sea, and Land attack on the East Timorese. "There are great black crosses etched against the sky -- crosses on peaks, crosses in tiers on the hillsides, crosses beside the roads. In East Timor they litter the earth and crowd the eye.
