Williams,
I do not speak or understand French that well, but correct me if i am wrong in what you have written:
You are on this site to let us know that the crista was at Marseille before it went to Saint Denis?
Why should i ask Roger et al about the *crista*? I know what their thinking is, and i said a long time ago, that until we saw the archaeology, or the crista itself, there was indeed no point in keep talking about a so far ‘imaginary’ artefact. I also cannot see what the importance of it would have been to Sauniere or RLC. I know they say the Will of Henri Hautpoul holds the clue, but i have been told that Will is a fake!(Oh i should correct this. I read about this in IBJ book i think - The Rise .... may be getting muddled here) Anyway, when a proper scholarly assessement of the archaeological artefact appears, then it can be discussed.
Nope, i don’t want you to give months of research ‘just like that’, to this forum. I am just wondering what your modus operandi is in suddenly appearing on this Forum, when lets face it, the crista has been talked about for ages on here .....
When have i criticised the medium of French researchers? Oh you mean, when i mention the dodginess of Douzet?
Well for me, a researcher earns respect, by the quality of their ‘work’ as well as how they are as a person.
Why should i bring anything to the subject about the *crista*? I am not the oen saying i have all the answers. I have other areas of RLC that i am interested in ...
The friends of Roger? He hasn’t got any has he? (

This is just a joke : ) ) Oh, you mean Sheila and Tingra? Of course they have a good relationship with IBJ – why wouldn’t they? I have had some exchanges with IBJ. He seems ok ... but you know, i remains suspicious of people who continually conceal their identity .... but what has all this to do with Roger?
I’m not sure what you are trying to insinuate about IBJ ....Anyway, the whole point is this. All the talk of this mysterious artefact is a waste of time, until a picture is produced, or an archaeologists says they have seen the artefact ....etc etc etc.
Why would i attach ANY value whatsoever to writing by Douzet on the crista, when several times in the past he has been shown to be faking stuff? If you can answer me that ....? And Douzet has never talked about a *crista* before, but IBJ has?
This has all the makings of a set up job, wo RLC factions now arguing over who knows the 'real' history of the crista. Its a joke. N'est pas? No one has even shown what it is, blah blah blah ... and no one has shown why it would be at RLC, why Sauniere wanted it, *sigh* I'm not getting into all this ....
In a friendly way,
PS If i have misunderstood what you are saying, my apologies. Im not getting involved in any of these shenanigans.
