One of the few uncracked codes at the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Langley, Virginia is found in Kryptos, a wonder of technology, a sculpture sitting in a sunny corner of the headquarters courtyard. "EMUFPHZLRFAXYUSDJKZLDKRNSHGNFIVJ" is the first line of the Kryptos sculpture, a 10-foot-tall, S-shaped copper scroll perforated with 3-inch-high letters spelling out words in code resembling a piece of paper emerging from a computer printer. Completed 15 years ago, Kryptos, which is Greek for "hidden," at first attracted interest from government code breakers who deciphered the easier parts without announcing their findings publicly. The main sculpture is made of red granite, red ... Read Full Story

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★;) Subscribe igorfrankenstein March 10, 2009 ( less info ) So what about the Jesus and Magdalene story being the grail? (Here is where we go right to 'Star Wars' history). Dan Winter says the reason the Jesus/Magdalene story melts into confusion - whenever you get out your history microscope - is because the REAL Jesus is Joshua son of Moses ('righteous priest')- who is really Akhenaton - in EGYPT (300 years before Pontius Pilate). He agrees with authors Amed Osman ("Jesus in the House of the Pharaohs"+ many other books) and Lawrence Gardner's "Sacred Ark" - who insist that the great DaVinci coverup ... Read Full Story

Dan Brown has a knack for taking history, and using the mysteries of symbols to create fabulous thrillers. His magnificent book “ The Da Vinci Code” was based on factual books by Michael Baigent Ms. Alaine Pagels etc. While the “Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction Baegent’s “ The Jesus Papers ” is not fiction. Pagels and others have shed light on the Gnostic Bibles and the other possibilities for the death of Jesus and the possibility that he may have survived the Crucifixion. All this would have remained conjecture–but then a few decades ago The Naag Hamidi texts and the Red ... Read Full Story

A lot of hype was made about “Angels & Demons,” over a year before its theatrical release. It seemed that every time the television channel landed on a program like Entertainment Tonight, they were always covering the latest news about the film. “Angels & Demons” is the sequel to the blockbuster bust, “The Da Vinci Code.” Both films are based on the novels by Dan Brown. “The Da Vinci Code” was highly anticipated, but ultimately a letdown...

Between its preposterous storyline and its blasphemous revisionist history, the highly-anticipated screen adaptation of The Da Vinci Code was the most over-hyped disappointment of 2006.

Recommended THE FILMLight the torches and sharpen the pitchforks, I dared to enjoy "The Da Vinci Code." While long-winded, Ron Howard's version of the Dan Brown best-seller provided a lovingly smothering mood of daredevil exposition and for-fans-only historical minutiae. Even if I didn't seize the scholarly passion burning behind the dialogue or comprehend the larger portrait of religious...

I first started reading his books when I was in 6th grade and I read the Da Vinci Code. Soon after that, I read his other books. I like the suspense in them and I was very disappointed with the Da Vinci Code movie. I still have yet to read the Lost ...

Dan Brown, whose The Da Vinci Code was condemned by the Vatican, has said he would like to meet Pope Benedict XVI. Interviewed by La Repubblica to mark the publication in Italy of his latest novel, The Lost Symbol, Mr Brown said even Opus Dei, the conservative Catholic organisation represented in The Da Vinci Code by a murderous monk, had understood that it was "only a novel".
