Could the Davinci Code actually be true ?

Question

I find it fascinating ! and intriguing, how could someone be so brilliant to just make the whole thing up. After having travelled through the UK and Paris im even more impressed !

Answer 1

The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction, yet it is a marvellous piece of work created by Dan Brown. I have been to both the UK and France, and yet, after listening to some of the stories in some regions, it is not difficult to imagine how it would be if those stories were proven to be true. The real hard work is putting one of those stories in a book, mixing those that are fiction with reality, to form such an excellent work.

The documents called "Les Dossiers Secrets" (The Secret Files) were trully found in the Paris National Archives. So the documents are real, but their origin is very questionable. As to the Opus Dei, yes they do exist, and I have met some of them, who are nice people (there are even some married couples that belong to it), and the Knight Templars were also true, for there is plenty of evidence about it.

The Priory of Sion is something that I still find hard to believe. However, ever since the book was published, there has been many online websites created whose authors claim to be Knight Templars. I just wonder where were they before the books "Holly Blood, Holy Grail", and the "Da Vincy Code" were published.

Answer 2

No. And yes, people can be so brilliant as to make the whole thing up. All it takes is a little research and a good imagination. Look at the buzz about "23." If you look hard enough, you will find enough circumstantial evidence to support any theory, and provide the basis for an interesting work of fiction. Of course it would not benefit the author to come out and say he made the whole thing up, because at this point he profits much more by the insanity his book has generated. It wouldn't surprise me if someday he follows other cultists in founding his own religion. Why not, if people are stupid enough to buy into it? The sad thing is, even if he doesn't, someone else probably will.

Answer 3

It in word...no.

Many of the "facts" that Dan Brown presents in the book are false. For example, he has the wrong number of panels on the pyramid in front of the Louve. Look it up sometime.

He presents Leonardo's painting of the Last Supper as if it is a factual representation of the event. The Supper happened at night, but the painting is in the daylight. The Supper was a Passover feast with lamb and unleavened bread, but the painting has fish and leavened bread. The Bible says that more than just the 12 were present at the supper (or how could "a certain young man" - Mark - who was no one of the 12 have gone with them from the supper to the garden, but the painting as only the 12 present.

Brown claims that there are over 80 other gospels of the Jesus found in the Dead Sea scroll. Fact is that ALL of the Dead Sea Scrolls are Jewish, and predate Jesus by 100-150 years. There is not a single Christian writing in the scrolls. Brown says the Dead Sea scrolls were found in the 1950s. In fact, they were found in 1947.

Dispites Browns anagram, the painting of the "Mona Lisa" is not known by the name anywhere in the world outside of the USA (and maybe Canada). That name was not invented in the early 1900's, so it would have been hard for Leonardo to have anagramed it.

Plus the book constantly refers to the painter of the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper as "DiVinci". The man's name is Leonardo. The city he came from was Vinci. He was Leonardo of Vince. "DiVince" is not his name. Brown doesn't even have that right. (Poor scholarship on the author's part)

Dan Brown himself has continually said that the book is a work of fiction - he made it up. When comparing the book to the facts - it becomes evident very quickly that in that statement is he is accurate. That is about the only one....

Answer 4

No,the book is a work of fiction with so many glaring mistakes in it as far as the art world goes, that it shows that Dan Brown wrote a somewhat nice piece of fiction but didn't even do all his homework when it came to studying up on certain aspects of some of the paintings and buildings etc,. He did a nice job of making Opus Dei into something more sinister than it truly is, not that we really know what goes on there, but it's not a real story, any more than the bible is real.

Answer 5

that's totally solid that it has piqued your activity. Now study confusing and do your man or woman learn so which you will come on your man or woman end. looking definitely the certainty in a communicate board alongside with yahoo solutions will by no potential demonstrate certainty. you will purely get others biased comments. examine the Bible, study historical scripts and historic antiquity to piece at the same time a logical and corporation foundational end. don't be lazy and fulfill your desire to comprehend what incredibly did got here approximately via believing what others demonstrate. via the way, in case you circulate to the authors web site, you will bump into the certainty concerning your question and why he wrote the e book. Dan Brown claims he's a Christian and the fictitious circumstances relating to the e book are mentioned to boot.

Answer 6

You mean the code or the idea about the descendants of Jesus Christ? Well, both possibly, but it is unimportant to know it, until the whole world is addicted to the ancient religious superstitions. I do not claim that religion is useless and fake, because I do not think this. I only say, that some are amused by what people believe because they want to believe it...lol

Answer 7

The Gnostic Gospels already proved those things long before the DaVinci Code brought it mainstream. But the Catholics didn't like it, as it challenged Jesus' divinity (I don't see how), and after the Great Schism, the Protestants didn't take the Gnostic Gospels back.

Answer 8

Don't be. Its all a fabrication of one man's mind. Of course, that's exactly what the real people would say to cover this up, isn't it?
Do some research. You'll find many of the elements were taken from different times in history and jumbled together to make the story plausible.

Answer 9

All the historical detail in the Da Vinci Code is fact. The characters and what happens to then is fiction. And as for the location of the Sangreal - Still speculation.

Answer 10

It has elements of fiction and truth mixed together. That whole theory the book talks about, was around way before the Da Vinci Code was written.
