in "the da vinci code" what was the ultimate mystery?

Question

i mean langdon found the bones of mary magdalene but what about the sangreal documents that give the truth about the life of christ.
was dan brown just making a fool of the readers by saying that their were such documents?

Answer 1

to be short and concise,the documents were in the basement of the church where they found Sophie's grandmother but they decided not to reveal this fact to the world.I believe that such documents exist inside the Vatican,otherwise the pope and the rest of the holy people would let the world read the books and documents from the library.but this is my opinion.

Answer 2

That piece of trash is the worst book I have ever read. Dan Brown played on peoples beliefs and appealed to the athiests purely to make money. The documents you asked about are made up. I was looking forward to an exciting search for the literal holy grail, the cup of christ, and a subsequent conspiracy, they made it sound exciting. Think about this, on the back of the book did it say anything about the questions raised about Christianity? No it didn't. It sucked people in and dashed their expectations. I mean, I felt sick reading about transfestites exposing themselves and the curator of the Lourve being involved in leud sex ceremonies. He is explicitly described as being fat and ugly. The only interesting character was the albino but the wrapping up of that loose end was poor. Teabing's character was plain boring, and them working out the code to the cryptex's at the last minute, after so many hours of scrunity was just unrealistic. And finally, there should have been a relationship between Sophie Novou and Robert Langdon. I expected an exciting, thrilling adventure with twists and turns that made you want to read on. A emerging, forbidden relationship between the two main characters should have been developed. I felt gipped. Funnily enough, I began to suspect something before I even opened the front cover of the brand new, perfect copy I bought from a second hand shop. Someone had obviously sold it after reading a few of the first measly pages and sold it for the cheapest price possible. Maybe I should have truste my own foresight. The more I think about it the more angry I feel, I cannot explain how bitterly dissapointed and let down I was with a crappy story penned with smug, deliberately controversial intent behind every word, rather than the satisfaction of the reader in mind. I mean people might rave about how good it is, but noone, I mean noone would have gotten what they wanted out of it. The final insult came with the revelation that Mary Magdeline's sarcophagus was buried under the louvre. I expected something ancient and hidden, not a crappy modern and lame resting place like that. I wanted the satisfaction I got when Nadia and Sloane finally located the Sphere of life hidden from the world for over 500 years. Shame on you Dan Brown, you showed unbelieveable contempt and unimaginativity with your crappy story, and it is officially my most hated book, right after R.L Stines Goosebumps of course.

Answer 3

Strictly according to its storyline, the mystery lay in the postulate that Christ had and still has a living descendant borne out of his relationship with Mary Magdalene, a '"fact" that the Roman Catholic Church is supposed to have done everything to suppress for centuries.

But I think the book's greater mystery lies in the fact that it wove facts and circumstances (which we "unquestionably admit" as facts) in a way that made pure fiction sound too real to be disbelieved. But in fairness to the author, he neither offered nor claimed the book to be historically accurate. Neither did he offer it to persuade me into doubting that the faith I've long held "may" be flawed for having been historically lame or dishonest.

To me, the book's greatest mystery lay in its manner of exposition in such a way that those of less strong faith found it easier to jump from a suspension of disbelief to outright, unquestioning acceptance of what the book is supposed to have proved.

A third of the way reading the book, I must admit I had to go back to the Copyright page and verify, for my own purposes, that it was supposed to be a work of fiction. Besides, in the bookstore, I got it from the General Fiction section, not History or Religion.

Answer 4

For me the ultimate mystery was that so many people bought the book and raved about it...it's also a mystery to me that after I'd decided it was rubbish (around the end of the first chapter) I continued to read....I think Dan Brown was making a fool of the readers by writing The Da Vinci Code in the first place & continues to laugh up his sleeve post movie hype!

Answer 5

Dan Brown i assume knows something, some truth about the life of Jesus. I believe there are documents that are hidden until now,
the secret life of Jesus. The catholic church are angry on this novel, especially the author.
Try finding a copy of the National Geographic and you can find information about this.
National Geographic might have an article about this because i
saw it on NG channel titled "secret bible week".

Answer 6

It was a novel - fiction. No one makes a fool of anyone by writing whatever they want to, if it's fiction.

The ultimate mystery about the book, really, is why so many people bought and read it. It is terribly written.

Answer 7

Langdon didn't find her bones. But he did find where here tomb was, although there was no corpse

Answer 8

That Jesus has a descendant living among us right now.
