Priory of Sion and Bloodline families confirm items as genuine relics.

Representatives of the Priory of Sion and the Bloodline families have confirmed to us in a series of emails and telephone conversations that the items in the chest: the cup, the anointing jar and the vial are all genuine relics.

They said that the cup and the anointing jar were both used at the wedding of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene and have been passed down by families in the Bloodline for centuries as sacred relics celebrating that Royal union.

We have been promised further details and ‘incontrovertible proof’ of the items provenance.

The Oxford Radio Carbon Laboratory, famous for its dating of the Turin Shroud, has just completed its analysis of the small rolled up parchment that we found in the glass vial.
According to their tests, carried out in January 2006, there is a 95.4% probability that the parchment dates from between 1430AD and 1520AD.

We are also pleased to show the latest photographs, after cleaning, of the ancient coins that were found in the chest.

“ It looks like someone’s collection from parts Levantine, with Byzantine, East Roman provincial and even a crusader coin. The coins date from Jewish King Alexander Geneas of the Hasmonean dynasty 100BC through to the late Roman period, into the Byzantine Emperors of the 5th and 6th centuries up to the Crusades in the 12th Century.”

Bloodline is nearing completion at our edit studio in Los Angeles. We will begin screening a rough cut of the film over the next week for friends and family and to iron out any kinks.
After that we will be showing it to studios and distributors here in Hollywood and perhaps arrange for screenings at one or two Festivals around the world, to help spread the word.

We remain thrilled that several best-selling authors, academics and theologians have come on board to support the film and its findings. Here are some of the latest…

"Let me be the first to congratulate you on the good vibe and pr you seem to be getting on your BLOODLINE production. Good title! Good luck !
Robert Eisenman, Director of the Institute for Judeo-Christian Origins at California State University Long Beach, Visiting Senior Member of Linacre College, Oxford and author of the newly released "New Testament Code."

"In thirty years years as a Rennes researcher, this could be the most important find ever made…if this IS the cup from the wedding and the anointing jar used by Mary Magdalene then this find is truly AWESOME…”
The Reverend Lionel Fanthorpe, Anglican priest, author and journalist

"This vessel (the jar) is very clearly, beyond any doubt, Jerusalemite, from the 2nd Temple period. It is an unguentarium and usually contained oil based perfumes. Best of luck with your film !"
Dr. Gabi Barkay, Senior Lecturer of Bar Ilan University currently excavating the Temple Mount.

"If this cup and jar are connected to Jesus, Mary Magdalene and/or their descendants then this would corroborate what I have been saying for years, that they were married and that their Bloodline does exist."
Sir Laurence Gardner, author The Magdalene Legacy, The Bloodline of the Grail, The Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark and the forthcoming The Hidden Descent from Jesus

“I find sufficient evidence in the New Testament to convince me that Jesus was married. I hope he was. I would rejoice if that supposition could be proved…I wish you well with this film.”
The Right Reverend John Shelby Spong, Episcopal Bishop of Newark, New Jersey (retired), author and lecturer

“(the jar)…It is from the late Greek Period, Hellenistic, 1st century BC into the early 1st century AD. It’s an unguentum orca, an anointing jar, from the east Mediterranean which would have been used to carry an oil based perfume.”
