No. The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction. I don't know where Mary Magdalene is actually buried, but it's not under the Louvre, i assure you. And I don't think Dan Brown meant she was buried there. I think he meant that the pyramids (in the book) were a tribute to her.

The history in The DaVinci Code is mostly made up. The earlier periods it covers are only very loosely based on reality and as it moves forward in time it becomes so loosely based as to bear no resemblance to reality whatsoever. So, do not try to base your understanding of any form of history on a novel. A lot of Brown's 'history' comes from "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" which claimed to be fact but is based on some very shaky academic work. The whole thing is made up, there is no great conspiracy, at least not about the bloodline of Jesus.

DaVinci Code is a novel. The author says so in the introduction. The louvre was not there when Mary died.

you're an idiot. The Da Vinci Code is fiction, and very very very very very very very very bad fiction at that.
