The Da Vinci Code

[Nick]

As I was intrigued by what I read in the novel, I decided to do some further reading along nonfiction lines. To that end, I bought a copy of a fascinating book I would recommend. It is called: The Templar Revelation by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince.

It is a thorough investigation into the mysterious worlds of the Freemasons, the Cathars, and the Knights Templar. It covers the authors findings from their research and travels regarding the actual historical role of Mary Magdalene, John the Baptist, and the Priory of Sion.

First published in 1997, the book comprehensively details their findings and present a fascinating view of the real motives and character of the christian church, as made known in the Da Vinci Code.

Hi Lighthouse,

You're quite welcome! [] The book is divided into two parts along with two appendices at the end. Part One is entitled The Threads of Heresy and has ten chapters, while Part Two is called The Web of Truth and has seven chapters.

The authors did a thorough investigative job all around, and back up their research with interviews, visits to sites, and extensive footnotes. Quite a convincing read!


Very best,

"The Da Vinci Code", writed by Dan Brown, it´s an amazing book! If you want to read something good, that´s not "heavy", with a  nice story and a book that will teach you very interesting facts about history, you must buy it! It´s the perfect book for this holydays.

In the book you will read the story itself, and you will learn facts that may chock most of the christians, the problem is that the facts are real.

Here some interesting facts that i learned from it:
- why there is that superstition around friday 13.
- the Holy Graal and it´s nature.
- secrets about Jesus life: the relation that he had with Maria Madalena.
- facts about secret orgs. and other orgs. like Opus Dei.
- symbolic messages about Da Vinci paints and other nice facts: for example in his painting about the last supper of Chryst (how do you say it in english?) you will see, in the paint that one of the apostles it´s a women!
- Facts about Jesus life were stolen from another God (Mythras ot Mytra or Mitra). the 25 December, the ressurection after 3 days, the gifts that people gave to Him when he born; the 12 apostles,etc,etc. all of that were ideas stolen to that god called Myhtras!!
_many other interesting things you will learn with the book


When i read it i have the sensation that the author wants to passa message about things of our history, and he made it in the best way. The story itself it is very nice too. It seems that the story will go the movies (Columbia Pictures).

Read it because you will not get sorry!
