In this part of the video, it is discussed that the Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth with a unique weaving style, was preserved for centuries in the Cathedral of the Dukes of Savoy. On the night of April 11 to 12, 1997, a fire broke out in the cathedral threatening the Shroud. Firefighters had to break the bulletproof crystal dome to save it. Despite the fire, the Shroud was found undamaged. The Shroud was later moved to a new reliquary with advanced preservation measures in place, including a noble gas, argon, to prevent oxidation. In December 2000, a new hermetic reliquary was created for perfect conservation. Specialists separated the Shroud from its supporting fabric in a delicate operation, revealing old bloodstains but no image on the back.
