Do you have proof of all this? And by proof, I want actual primary sources that state that Pilate was recalled for not issuing a Roman court order for Jesus' death.
Sorry but you will have to do your own homework on that. I have it but buried in Library.
Very little is known about Pontius Pilate's birth place or child hood. In fact it is almost as obscure as Jesus.
There was a limestone bearing his name which was discovered in 1961and proves that he was the prefect of Judah but little else of physical nature.
Philo mentions Pilate and also the historian Tacitus as well as Josephus mentions Pilate. Eusebius relates in Historia Ecclesiae ii:7 that Pilate was recalled, exiled to Gaul and committed suicide in Vienne. I had made a study of that some years ago but would have to do a search on my work. I believe this is enough to give you a search if you have a mind to do so. But if you need manuscripts as evidence you will not ever get them as of today.
We don't have the blood of Jesus to test against the blood in the shroud, and all the claims made in that blog you posted are claims with no evidence.

Then, since we don't have the blood of Jesus to test against ANYTHING, it follows that there is NO EVIDENCE of anything attributed to the legendary "Jesus", except hearsay and wishful thinking.

Their report is sure to draw criticism from skeptics while sparking new interest in the Shroud of Turin, which has been subjected to numerous examinations over the years. By implying that the relic might date back to ancient times, the new analysis contradicts a landmark 1988 study that cast doubt on its supposed age. At that time, three independent laboratories relied on radiocarbon testing to conclude that the shroud originated between 1260 and 1390, many centuries after Jesus’ lifetime. Since then, however, further studies have called those findings into question, suggesting that the researchers inadvertently tested material grafted onto the original shroud during repairs made in the Middle Ages.

The first direct examinations of the cloth were conducted in the 1970s, most famously by the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP), a team of scientists led by physicist John P. Jackson of the University of Colorado. The group found that the markings on the cloth were consistent with a crucified body and that the stains were real human blood; they also suggested that the image’s shading patterns contained three-dimensional information. However, they could not explain how the imprint ended up on the fabric in the first place.

Do yourself a favor, read and watch the evidence I provided and then try to debunk what it is said by those scientists.
