You mean the Shroud of Turin? They have extracted DNA from it, a lot of various human and animal DNA from different countries is on it so it does appear to be from the Middle East or India. However it’s not generally agreed upon that that Shroud of Turin is Jesus’ burial cloth. Carbon dating indicates that it was definitely woven in the 12th-14th century, around the time of the first records of it being displayed. Obviously the devout believers in the shroud object to this conclusion.
