Shroud of Turin

Recently, scientists have conducted many tests on the shroud and have dated it to have existed between 300 BC and 400AD. Does this prove that Jesus actually existed, or is this not enough evidence to have any conclusion on the matter?

The shroud of turin is just

The shroud of turin is just another artifact that is veery much in the style of raiders of the lost arc. There is no possible way to link it to jesus at all. If any substantial evidence is ever provided I would love to read about it.
