Yes,

A Linguistics professor is making a speach in Paris and winds up embrolied in a murder mystery when the victim leaves a message for him at the murder sight.

The plot thickens when one of the police experts is the grandaughter of the victim and she is certain that the profesor canhelp her solve who killed her Grandfather and no one else can.

They find clues all over the louvre leading them to find a cryptex, puzzle box, which could lead them to the holy grail. Apparently the grandfather has been protecting it for years.

Now the evil Opus Dei wants to find the grail first and they are willing to kill to get the secret of it's location.

The couple enlists the assistance of a learned grail scholar but it turns out that he has been helping Opus Dei all along and he wants the secret for his own.

The search for the grail leads the couple and the professor to the Rose Chappel in the UK and that is where they figure out the scholar is a bad guy. The police have caught on to this fact as well and take out the scholar once and for all, as well as the members of Opus Dei.

At the Chappel the couple learn that the girl is the holy grail, the descendant of Jesus and mary Magdalene, his wife. The rest of the grail is the remains of Mary Magdalene and the story of her lineage. Langdon, the professor figures out where that is when he thinks about what he was told. It is under the new atrium at the Louvre.

People will go to see it simply because of the opposition to it. If it is true that the papacy is publicly against it, they are making a huge mistake. It is part of human nature to be curious about things that are 'forbidden'. I have read the book and enjoyed it. It was very interesting to think someone could be leaving clues to dark secrets through artwork. And it is quite possible that Jesus did have a wife. The church would want that taken out of the Bible because it would show that Jesus had sex and was, therefore, 'impure'. If Jesus was impure it would mean that the religion was built on a lie. If people feel that it will change their beliefs (and they don't want that to happen), they shouldn't see it. If they can watch it without that happening, they should. It's a very good book. I hope the movie is just as good. I honestly think people are wasting their time protesting it or being offended by it. If it personally offends you, that's fine. But don't expect EVERYONE to feel the same way. Besides all of that, most people don't even know what the book says about Christianity. I have heard people say that it alleges that Jesus was gay. That is in no way what is said in the book. Also, people keep saying that the Bible is truth and that the book/movie is a lie. The honest truth is that no one on this earth knows exactly what THE truth is. The truth to you, is not the truth to me. It is all relative to an individuals perception. Example: Two people bumb into eachother on the street. Both think the other person bumped them and not the other way around. Both are right and both are wrong. People should remember that truth to them is not necessarily truth to someone else.

Secret of the Holy Grail
Detail of The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci
Detail of The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci

As explained by Leigh Teabing to Sophie Neveu, the figure at the right hand of Jesus is supposedly not the apostle John, but Mary Magdalene. According to the book Mary Magdalene was the wife of Jesus Christ and was in fact pregnant with his child when Jesus was crucified. The absence of a chalice in the painting supposedly indicates that Leonardo knew that Mary Magdalene was actually the Holy Grail (the bearer of Jesus' blood). This is said to be reinforced by the letter "V" that is created with the bodily positions of Jesus and Mary, as "V" is the symbol for the sacred feminine. The apparent absence of the "Apostle John", under this interpretation, is explained by identifying John as "the Disciple Jesus loved", allegedly code for Mary Magdalene (see also Second Apocalypse of James). The book also notes that the color scheme of their garments are inverted: Jesus wears a red blouse with royal blue cape; John/Mary wears a royal blue blouse with red cape — perhaps symbolizing two bonded halves of marriage. Also, if you move John/Mary to Jesus's right, you will see his head fits perfectly onto Jesus' shoulder as if to lay her head on his shoulder.

According to the novel, the secrets of the Holy Grail, as kept by the Priory of Sion, are as follows:

* The Holy Grail is not a physical chalice, but a woman, namely Mary Magdalene, who carried the bloodline of Christ.

* The Old French expression for the Holy Grail, San gréal, actually is a play on Sang réal, which literally means "royal blood" in Old French.

* The Grail relics consist of the documents that testify to the bloodline, as well as the actual bones of Mary Magdalene.

* The Grail relics of Mary Magdalene were hidden by the Priory of Sion in a secret crypt, perhaps beneath Rosslyn Chapel.

* The Church has suppressed the truth about Mary Magdalene and the Jesus bloodline for 2000 years. This is principally because they fear the power of the sacred feminine in and of itself and because this would challenge the primacy of Saint Peter as an apostle.

* Mary Magdalene was of royal descent (through the Jewish House of Benjamin) and was the wife of Jesus, of the House of David. That she was a prostitute was slander invented by the Church to obscure their true relationship. At the time of the Crucifixion, she was pregnant. After the Crucifixion, she fled to Gaul, where she was sheltered by the Jews of Marseille. She gave birth to a daughter, named Sarah. The bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdalene became the Merovingian dynasty of France.

* The existence of the bloodline was the secret that was contained in the documents discovered by the Crusaders after they conquered Jerusalem in 1099 (see Kingdom of Jerusalem). The Priory of Sion and the Knights Templar were organized to keep the secret.

The secrets of the Grail are connected, according to the novel, to Leonardo Da Vinci's work as follows:

* Leonardo was a member of the Priory of Sion and knew the secret of the Grail. The secret is in fact revealed in The Last Supper, in which no actual chalice is present at the table. The figure seated next to Christ is not a man, but a woman, his wife Mary Magdalene. Most reproductions of the work are from a later alteration that obscured her obvious female characteristics.

* The androgyny of the Mona Lisa reflects the sacred union of male and female which is implied in the holy union of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Such parity between the cosmic forces of masculine and feminine has long been a deep threat to the established power of the Church. The name Mona Lisa is actually an anagram for "Amon L'Isa", referring to the father and mother gods of Ancient Egypt (namely Amun and Isis).

A number of different authors also speculate about the possibility of Jesus becoming a father. There are at least three children attributed to him, a daughter Tamar, born before the Crucifixion, and two sons Jesus (the Jesus Justus from the New Testament) and Josephes, both born after the Resurrection. Their names are now part of the common culture of conspiracy writers, however only two decades ago, when Holy Blood, Holy Grail was written, the names were never mentioned. The royal descents that lie at the heart of The Da Vinci Code mysteries centre on the family of Josephes, who is supposed to be the grandfather of Aminadab del Graal, first of the "Fisher Kings". However the genealogies that are quoted in Grail lore appear to record too few generations, with children regularly being born to fathers in their 40s.

[edit] The mystery within the mystery

Part of the advertising campaign for the novel was that the artwork in the American version of the bookjacket held various codes, and that the reader who solved them via the author's website would be given a prize. Several thousand people actually solved the codes, and one name was randomly chosen to be the winner, with the name announced on live television, Good Morning America, in early 2004. The prize was a trip to Paris.
Warning: Solution details follow.


The five hidden puzzles reveal

* That the back of the book jacket conceals latitude and longitude coordinates, written in reverse, light red on dark red. Adding one degree to the latitude gives the coordinates of the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency in Northern Virginia, which is the location of a mysterious sculpture called Kryptos. The coordinates were taken from part of the decrypted text of part 2 of the sculpture (part 4 has never been solved). When Brown has been asked why the coordinates are one degree off, his reply has been, "The discrepancy is intentional".

* There is a secret message hidden in the text of the book flaps. The message: Is there no help for the widow's son (a reference to Freemasonry).

* The words "only WW knows" can be seen on the back cover. This too is a reference to part 2 of the Kryptos sculpture.[4]

* A circle with numbers, when combined with text from the book, reveals a secret message.

* There is reverse writing on the cover of the book, which is the riddle for the first cryptex.

Brown, both via his website and in person, has stated that the puzzles in the bookjacket give hints about the subject of his next novel, The Solomon Key. This repeats a theme from his earlier novels. For example, Deception Point had an encrypted message which, when solved, said, "The Da Vinci Code will surface".

In the simplified Chinese version of The Da Vinci Code, the cover has a secret text; however, this text can be easily seen. It reads: "13-3-2-1-1-8-5 0, Draconian devil! Oh, Lame Saint! P.S. Find Robert Langdon." This is the multiply encrypted clue written in invisible ink next to the dead body in the museum which kicks off the plot of the entire novel.

David A. Shugarts was the first to expose this in his book 'Secrets of the Widow's Son: The Mysteries Surrounding the Sequel to The Da Vinci Code'.
