The author, director and producer will discuss the possible repercussions and the background of the major discovery of a hidden tomb found in the Languedoc region of southwest France. According to the documentary Bloodline, this discovery may help substantiate the existence of a Mary Magdalene and Jesus bloodline. The chamber contains a mummified corpse on a rose-colored plinth under a shroud bearing the distinctive red cross of the Knights Templar. This figure is surrounded by wooden chests, revealing a cache of gold chalices and coins. The discovery has been reported to the French Government agency, Direction Regionale des Affaires Culturelles Languedoc-Roussillon, and plans are underway for a full scale survey.Bloodline director, Bruce Burgess states, "This treasure was believe to be priceless relics - documents the Holy Grail, even the embalmed remains of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene - which was then brought to southern France and hidden." According to Burgess, the subterranean chamber was discovered by an English adventurer, Ben Hammott, by using a hidden code in the decor of the church at Rennes-le-Chateau, left behind by the 19th century priest Berenger Sauniere. The film team was able to gain access into the tomb by using a remote camera inserted through a small air shaft at the top of the chamber.
