I've read The Da Vinci Code. Very interesting, I must say! I'm now starting to read A&D.

I have no doubt that there isn't the right number of panes of glass in the louvre. I also have little doubt that Jesus was married or had some kind of relationship.

The Da Vinci Code was my introduction to Dan Brown. I thought it was a great read. Looking forward to Angels and Demons.

I'm going to watch Dateline tonight. Apparently the show is going to attempt to separate fact from fiction re: The DaVinci Code.

Might be fun.

Enjoyed Angels and Demons. So so about the computer one (forgot the name already)

Picked up Deception Point. Now I need some time to actually read.

No. Deception Point and Digital Fortress are two other books by Dan Brown that have no relation to the first two books mentioned.

I watched the Dateline program last night about the Da Vinci Code. I have not read the book.

While I do believe that secret societies have existed in the past and continue to exist in the present and future, I do have some doubts in the Priory of Sion. What I certainly doubt is the false claim that Jesus Christ married Mary Magdalene, had a daughter named Sara and Sara continued on the family line even into the present.

While "evidence" is presented to prove this theory, there is as much or even more evidence against it.

Regarding Da Vinci's Last Supper portrait, we all can read whatever we want into it. I think that some people see more than what is really there and is simply over analyzing. Some people want it to be something more than what it really is. I take it as a excellent piece of artwork, nothing more, nothing less.

What eveidence is against the marriage. Ithink it's horrible that people try to sweep his marriage under the rug. What purpose does this serve? So he was married and had a child, by the stricktest of all belifes he was a man even though the son of god. Marriage and love is not a sin. People are just spitting up what they have been lied to about constantly.

As for the book it's fiction. We knoe the number of pane is wrong and the whole it spells davinvi is nonsence.

For one, theres zero actual and tangible historical documentation to back this up.

I need more than someone's interpretation or misinterpreatation of Da Vinci's Last Supper and a lost gospel found in the middle of the desert.
