However, because the Catholic Church has not allowed removal of any portion of the skull for dating, the year of the woman’s death has not been determined as of 2024.

Alleged…
That’s an ancient alien spacesuit helmet if I ever saw one!
Tell me your religion is a Death Cult, without telling me your religion is a Death Cult.
Yeah, but of all the flavours of Death Cult, Catholicism sure is interesting!
So, Christians just collected random old body parts of women, and keep them squirreled away so they cannot be authenticated?
Why stop the money train though?
Can anyone with a random old body part get in on this, it is it just the church?
Collecting body parts goes back centuries. For example, embedded within every sanctified altar in every Catholic church is a relic from a saint. The first-class (most desirable) relics are body parts.
Private ownership of saints’ relics used to be expressly forbidden. AFAIK it is now simply heavily discouraged. So you might have trouble making a business out of it, unless you can convince the church that you are legit.
And good luck getting permission to authenticate any of the existing ones. God specifically said you’re not supposed to put Him to the test.
