The organization in the book never existed. If you read the research on the book itself, and the contents, you'll find that the organization was made up by one man, a Frenchman, years ago, and it's never been real. "Some forged "medieval" documents, created in the 1960s, manufactured a story about a fictional Priory of Sion, a supposed thousand-year-old secret society. In actuality, it was a fictional society created in 1956, and used as part of a massive hoax in France. As part of the hoax, various "medieval" documents were forged and planted in the French National Library. Known as the "Dossiers Secrets d'Henri Lobineau", they make mention of an "Order of Sion" from the middle ages, which allegedly founded the Knights Templar. In reality, no such historical monastic order by that name existed in Jerusalem during the Crusades, and any connection with the name of Abbey of Sion is purely coincidental. There is no historical evidence whatsoever that the Abbey of Sion had any connection with the Knights Templar." The link this is from is listed below...when I read The Da Vinci Code, I researched it very extensively...and did so again when the movie was due to come out. I even went as far as to research Mary Magdalene as well!

The Priory of Sion was a hoax. It was to "prove" a French man named Pluntard was the ancestor of Jesus. All the documents were faked. The group never actually existed. The author of the Di Vinci Coded didn't do his research before he claimed it was a real orginization.
