Bloodline, the Movie
27th April 2008 | Message from the owner
Dear visitors,
In this press release on 17th April, the producers of the Bloodline documentary claimed that the tomb that is presented in the documentary has been acknowledged by the French Archeological Authority of Montpellier (Direction Régionale des Affaires Culturelles, DRAC) and that a full survey is on the way.
After the RLC Research Team talked to Mr. Jean-Pierre Giraud of DRAC in Montpellier, I need to conclude that there are serious issues of authenticity with the discoveries of Ben Hammott that appear in the Bloodline documentary. There is no dossier of any tomb in the area with DRAC.
The bottles and parchments Ben Hammott claims to have found are most likely forgeries. An analysis is given in this article.
Take care | Raven

Next month will see the theatrical release of the already controversial Documentary Film Bloodline the Movie. This project by the American Director-Producer duo Bruce Burgess and René Barnett deals with the alleged discoveries of British researcher Ben Hammott, formerly known as The Tombman. It is claimed that in the tomb Hammott discovered, there’s a 2.000 year old mummy from the Middle-East, possibly Mary-Magdalene. Hammott is not the only one who makes these claims. In the clips, long time French researchers like Gerard Thom and Daniel Duges display why they think there’s a Jewish temple under one of the mountains in the Rennes-les-Bains area that might contain the bodies of not only Mary-Magdalene, but also Christ and their children.

False advertising?
Is there any other kind?

“Jenny K & fellow ticket holders: you bought a ticket, you saw a film - what’s your problem?”
Tell that to the Oprah fans who bought the book “a million little pieces” -believing it was non-fiction.
It’s false advertising.

Being that I have seen the movie “Bloodline” a few weeks ago, and have directly spoken personally to Director-Producer, Bruce Burgess, we have agreed to corrispond with one another… so far no response.
This past Friday the 13th…. I left a letter for Mr. Burgess with best intentions in signaling my seriousness of not only the movie, but also the discovery etc. If I get no proper responce from what I personnally passed on to him… then I will begin to question and inquire elsewhere and deeper into the details of how the tomb was discovered and the clues that were assembled in locating this tomb. I hope that this discovery is no waste of time?

Dear guests,
Let’s not go in this direction and keep the discussion focussed on the content.
Thanks | Raven

PS: It reminds me of Oprah’s book club author, “A million
little pieces” title? He tried to sell it as truth, too.

Since this seems to be a hoax, can those who have paid for a movie ticket form a class-action suit against the producer/director for claiming it to be true?

What I don’t understand is that if the producer/director of this film wants the people to take it seriously– as truth, then why don’t they show the French authorities the site??? Since it would be in their jurisdiction to excavate. According to the French authorities– they have seen no such site, nor are they scheduled to see the site. The filmakers may have spoken with the French authorities–but as far as I know, they have not seen the site. Without the French authorites verifying this site– it is reasonable to assume it to be a hoax.

These people wouldn’t recognize the truth if it was staring them in the face. Mr Hammott should be a bit more careful what he wishes for.

Interestingly, the “ambassadors” of Bloodline dispatched to Andy’s site to plead the case of “Ben Hammott”, Sandy Hamblet and Bill Kersey, have taken a powder for the Hollywood Hills to seek counsel with a sage hermit right under the famed Hollywood sign…
They will, no doubt, reappear as soon as they have received instructions on how to deal with the damning evidence presented to date.

Dear visitors,

The bottles and parchments Hammott claims to have found look to be forgeries on closer examination by the RLC Research Team. As you can see from the clips on this page, the chest Hammott claims to have found was taken out of France to London for examination by the British museum. That is an illegal practice in France. If the chest is real, Ben and his team are guilty of archeological theft. In two of the clips, bottles that are claimed to be authentic archeological discoveries are casually broken to take out the papers inside.
I distance myself from such practices with force.

The enduring puzzle that is the RLC Mystery inevitably in the passing of time lead towards a conclusion. The discovery pioneered by Ben Hamott in France as well as theories involving Lincoln Cathedral,England, may well lead towards that elusive conclusion. The next step is to gain archaeological access to Ben’s tomb - and that seems underway..

Bruce should interview David Shayler … but how would we tell them apart?

For a long time the falseness of the Catholic (Christian) Church has been available to me. I am an Atheist as related to the modern Christian Churches and most of their descriptions of God and their Sons of God. In my own life the evidence of the ancient teachings of the sages show me that a higher spiritual life is in each of us to develop and to learn the universal truths. “Know thy self” is the second secret. The first secret is to “honestly doubt” all the religious teachings until they have been tested by “Clear Thinking” and proven true by personal trial. My website will demonstrate this. Thank you for your quest into the truth of these matters.
