The Shroud of Turin Mystery Solved
Nathan Wilson, inspired by Father Brown mysteries, provides a compelling explanation. I am not kidding.

Hello,
I live in Moscow, Idaho, a fate I share with Nathan Wilson. Nathan's 'research' has become the topic of some slight conversation in our town. A friend of mine, an analytical chemist and Associate Professor here at the University of Idaho, has corresponded with Nathan on this matter and has a few reservations which he shared with me recently. I'll post just one here for the time being.
Nathan posits that red ochre, basically rust, and/or vermillion are the pigments making up the image on the shroud. Neither of these are light sensitive, that is they would NOT fade if exposed to sunlight. The red in brick is derived from red ochre, bricks do not fade in color because red ochre is stable in sunlight. Like I said this is only one of a series of problems with Nathan's experiment.
That said, I would like to congratulate Nate for his 'thinking outside the box', and encourage more of the same on this subject.
