Concerning the fact that the clothes don't belong to jesus: once again it's well explained in the book, but it's pretty hard for me to explain in english, I'll do my best tough:

- First they made a simple analyze of the clothes fibers; result: clothes are 2000 years old.
- Then they analyze different elements that were on the clothes: sand and pollen if I remember right; result: clothes come from jesus region.
- Finally they cut the results from all the different items of clothes and they all matched well, so they belong to the same person.

Ok, so they narrowed it down to "Jesus region". How did they narrow it down to Jesus? Were there woodchips on the clothing?

 

My point exactly.  Some so-called archealogists would almost lead you to believe that there was a territory in the Roman world called Palestine, and this one guy named Jesus lived there.  Hence, if you find an item that carbon dates to 2000 years old, well, it must belong to Jesus.

It's voodoo science and wishful thinking.  It causes people to get excited, and when people get excited, they donate money to fund research and further archaelogical digs.

 

Palestine existed, and there were many people who lived there. Back in that date the name Jesus was also very popular so there was more than one Jesus but there was only one Jesus of Nazareth. There were many people that lived in Palestine at the time. According to estimates there where a max of about 2.5 million people.

 

In this satelite mapping Palestine is the boardered area with the most green.
