Bloodline Artifacts?

The website for the upcoming documentary Bloodline has news on the artifacts that they discovered during their investigation:

Those representing the Priory of Sion, as well as some members of the Bloodline families, have now confirmed, via 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…According to them, the cup and the anointing jar were both used at the wedding of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene and passed down by families in the Bloodline for centuries as sacred relics celebrating that royal union.

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 2007, there is a 95.4% probability that the parchment dates from between 1430AD and 1520AD.

The obvious question marks remain over any ‘confirmation’ coming from Priory of Sion sources (for instance, if they know so much about the artifacts, why didn’t they already have them in their possession?). Nevertheless, it’s certainly turning into an interesting episode in the controversial history of Rennes le Chateau and the ‘Priory of Sion’.

  1. my take on the vial find
    this reminds me of the ossuarium with Jesus’ name on it supposedly from same time period He lived, only tells us that such artifacts have been scammed way, way back when in days of old when the relics biz was really big biz. Relic pieces of the cross, if put together today would build 2 or more complete crosses. Mel sold spike replicas at his Passion showings, All this demo’s to me is vindication of P.T Barnum’s famous cynical quote- ‘There’s a sucker born every minute*. 1,000 years from now Mels’ promotional hype spikes will be huckstered as the ‘real thing’.
    I would be more impressed if Brian Sykes could find matrilineal mitochondrial DNA genotype allolele traces of Magdalene in the cup and vial. If she handled it as this find reputes to be possiby her’s or’s a 50th generation facsimile thereof with different DNA traces would make a difference in dating this object.
    The fact the finders of these objects let so many non-professional non-forensic qualified folk handle these items reinforce my skepticism. If they were suspected to be the real thing they would be handled with same scrutiny of evidence at a crime scene, for the sole purpose of identifying who’s the original owner.
    What I find more astonishing is folk in the ‘cloth trade’ ( read: churchy types) who give creedence to spurious allegations that Christ was married. There are churchy types like Archbishop of swedish church named Hammer on record for not believing in the Bible at all. To him they are a nice set of fables to draw lessons from. ala Aesop.
    The ‘New Age’ crowd jump at every chance to toot their own horn, typically for them and their gnostic kin this find is proof positive, end of deliberations, case closed, even before an objective scrutiny of these objects is done. Look at the Turin Shroud, not finalized due to very cogent argumentation as to how latest series of carbon -dating has been done. Recent test only verify the Shroud was repaired at the time the Shroud suffered damage, not when the Shroud came into existence.
    If there is something called a ‘sacred aura’ would it be logical Jesus would let an item associated with Him fall into profane hands for the sole purpose of crass commercialization. Shroud of Turin is an object on display for purpose of encouraging normal folk to bear their own personal cross thru life, it is not on display for crass commercialization, thru an internet site.
    Hopefully, this episode will end up like the von Daneken launch and landing sites craze he hyped not so long ago, only time will tell. For now its the latest buzz in fantasy land, and thrill seekers on the lines of Indiana Jones junkies just got another adrenaline fix.
