Reading the DaVinci Code do you think any of Dan Brown's theories and claims can be somewhat real?
Many of the theories you can't help but wonder if they can be real. Of how the Mona Lisa was made and why, what DaVinci's orientation was, the Priory of Sion...I find it all intriguing.

It's classified as fiction, as we all know. But strangely, I've been thinking the same thing.what Leigh and Robert have been saying about the Priory is fascinating.I believe that Yeah, it can be true. That's why millions of people like us love the book. They dont know if it's true and it gets you thinking and it's just fun to stop in church, stare up at Jesus and say, "huh.What if you were married?" Ya know?nobody around today was there to witness Jesus' life. Sweet 360 by the way.

Answer 2
I think that Dan Brown does some good research for his stories. I think DaVinci probably hide things to make us look harder. Back in his time what we would consider tame today , would he would have been arrested for. Did you see the History Channels show on Behind the Davinci code? It gave answers some of Davinci questions Just remember that this book was in the fiction section

Answer 3
I loved the book. The movie is as movies based on novels does. I like the way the church is jumping through hoops to keep every one satisfied. They need to be shaken awake on occasion.

Answer 4
Dan Brown took a little bit of fact and distorted it into a whole lot of fiction. 90-95% of that book is untrue. For example, there was a Council of Nicea, but did not do what Brown said they did.

Answer 5
No. Simple as that. The Da Vinci code was based on a book called Holly Blood, Holy Grail, which was itself based on claims found in the so called Secret Dossiers, found in the French Bibiothèque Nationale. I believe the whole thing started off as a joke perpetrated by a group of French hoaxers close to the surrealist group in the mid 50's.

Answer 7
It's always a possibility. I personally don't know, but even if it was i wouldn't see anything wrong with. It is based on years and years and years of conspiracy theories.

Answer 8
No. He lost all credibility with me because he can't even get his basic, checkable facts straight. (Such as the size of various paintings, and how many glass panels are in the pyramid sculpture in front of the Louvre - it's more than 666.)
