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.
