De Sède published a book based on the Dossiers Secrets detailing the whole fantasy in 1967. Plantard and De Cherisey then teamed up with author, Gérard de Sède, to give the Priory of Sion/Rennes-le-Chateau hoax greater publicity. Linking these to a genealogy which purported to support his claim to the French throne and which detailed a secret society called (not coincidentally) the ‘Priory of Sion’, Plantard and De Cherisey lodged the fakes – the so-called Dossiers Secrets – in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris as a way of bolstering Plantard’s increasingly elaborate fraud. Inspired by this story, Plantard teamed up with an eccentric aristocrat with a taste for surrealism, Phillipe de Cherisey, and faked the parchments supposedly found by Saunière.
Sequel to the da vinci code code#
According to their version of events, this was a code deliberately created by Da Vinci to inform the laity that he was portraying Mary Magdalene! Rather I contend that the author had been smoking the “heavenly herb” the night before. The “corroborating evidence” for the conspiracy theorists that the person had to be Mary Magdalene was that by leaning to the right, Mary and Jesus form an M which in their fetid brains was a “code” implying that the person must have been Mary. Judas was displayed as grasping a bag of silver and in breaking with tradition, none of the supper guests are depicted with halos.
During that period it is the conventional way of depicting John. Rather I contend that it is Da Vinci’s depiction of John who was invariably portrayed as having feminine features. How would Da Vinci have known that a women was sitting on Jesus’ right hand side when nowhere in the New Testament does it state that fact. Hence according to this logic, it must have been Mary Magdalene. It is claimed that the person to Jesus’ right has the appearance of a female. Providing further justification for the “fact” that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene relates to the Leonardo Da Vinci’s mural The Last Supper in the Sistine Chapel.
Were Jesus and Mary Magdalene lovers or perhaps even married? According to conspiracy theorists they were married and living in France The topic of the interview revolved around whether Jesus had been married to Mary Magdalene & whether she bore him any offspring. What finally became the nail in the coffin of my credulity in these theories was an interview with one of these conspiracy theorists some 15 years ago. Then after reading a few, including this one, I was struck that the far-fetched assumptions was probably a figment of the authors overact imagination or their desire for book sales. Main picture: The authors of the book Holy Blood Holy Grail claim that it must have been Mary Magdalene on Jesus’ right as their relative positions form an M for Mary.Īs a callow youth I was fascinated at the possibility – albeit remote – that these fantasies could be true. The only one of this genre which attained acceptable publication figures was one which is even in my personal library entitled Holy Blood Holy Grail on which Dan Brown’s book is based. Apart from one, the cryptex, which is a pure figment of Dan Brown overactive imagination, the rest of the conspiracies have been peddled in various books and forums over the years. The Da Vinci Code is an amalgam of a raft of conspiracy theories in one novel. Why are the theories propounded in the novel even more preposterous than believed with not a shred of evidence to substantiate any of them? Yet they had the effect of fixating the masses. Instead it comprised various implausible fantasies and conspiracy theories which were barely credible. Like a candle for a moth, Dan Brown lured the readers by implying that his book was based upon fact.
His second novel was the sensational Da Vinci Code. Before turning to writing, Dan Brown was an unsuccessful painter.
