    Da Vinci Code

    I read the book of Dan Brown "Da Vinchi Code" and it had a strong effect on me. It says in the book that Mary Magdalene was Jessuses wife and she had a kid from him. And that she had a mush bigger part in Jesuse's life than we are told.
    From one point it's just a fiction, "just enjoy the plot" kind of book, from the other point the author states that the historical references and indicated documents are all true.
    So if anyone read the book or simply knows anything about "the sacred graal", "prioret of seon" or secret codes hidden in Da Vinchi's works is more than welcome to speak.

    The theory that Jesus didn't die on the cross, but rather lived on and had kids of his own, is about as ancient as the Bible itself. The Merovingians, French aristocrats, believed they had a direct lineage to this blood line. There's all sorts of theories out there. Another good read about some interesting findings is "Holy Blood, Holy Grail". Again, the authors aren't saying "WE'VE UNCOVERED THE TRUTH!!!", but rather are suggesting "hey...this may be worth some consideration...". And this is sort of a "Cliff's notes" about a handfull of these theories:

            well, i wouldnt say that. there are some historical documents that are kept somewhere in the museum or an archive that indicate on a possibility..

              No problem. Personally, I don't "believe" in anything, myself. I have ideas, I have opinions, I may lean towards certain theories more then others, but...belief...that's a strong word. Nothing within, or about our existence is so concretely provable to me so as to warrant that strong of a committment.

                First of allthe book is fiction - just remember that. Secondly - sure - good as theory/belief as any - considering what we are discussing is the personal life of a person who may not have ever existed - and even if he ddi - who has had large aspects of his life fictionalized and otherwise manipulated to serve the ends of others who had various agendas...so what else is new eh? BTW I was given the book as a gift from a relative who thought I would be intrigued by it. I haven't bothered to read it - thoguh my wife has - and though she generally likes that kind of stuff and said the premiss was interesting (and I'll give it that - and why not - girl power eh?) - she was mostly bored with the book itself - so not much of an endorsement for me. Anyway i saw thge little TV special on NBC last night - but skipped "revelations"....for what its worth....
