Obviously Robert Langdon is fictional, but all of the art, architecture, secret rituals, secret societies—all of that is historical fact."

Yes, the story, the plot and characters are fictional. But the story’s appeal is that its, according to Brown, factual underpinning is true. This factual underpinning has been shown not to be true.

Specifically, do you believe:

The Priory of Sion, founded in 1099, with members including Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo and Leonardo Da Vinci were responsible for preserving the “True” identity of Jesus to be released in the future?
