The Real Da Vinci Code

Before you catch The Da Vinci Code in the cinemas, you have to watch this documentary called The Real Da Vinci Code. In it, Tony Robinson, the presenter goes in search of the Holy Grail based on the details in the book The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.

I have nothing against Dan Brown's book. Like millions of others who have read the book, I love it. It's full of twists, mystery, adventure and conspiracies! But I do have a slight problem with a fiction book which claims certain info in it as fact. If you turn to the first few pages of the book, the page after Acknowledgements, Dan Brown writes:

FACT:
The Priory of Sion-
a European secret society founded in
1099 - is a real organization.
In 1975 Paris' Bibliotheque Nationale
discovered parchments known as Les
Dossiers Secrets, identifying numerous
members of the Priory of Sion, including
Sir Issac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo,
and Leonardo da Vinci...

If only Dan Brown did his homework diligently, he would have found out that the above is just a fiction, not a fact. And the Da Vinci Code? It is as real as IZ being the next saviour of mankind.
