These points are fairly easy to prove and have been substantiated by a number of critics because they involve, you know, tilting your head back and looking at the sky. Apparently, a lot of the stuff written about Venus in The Code is just not accurate. The third category of attacks come from the realm of astronomy. A little more solid as evidence goes, especially when it comes to the architectural history of the Church of Saint Sulpice in Paris, where this sign was put up at one point: Certain things about the book are disputed by religious scholars, but from time to time, the evidence is something like, "The Pope said so," or there's a lot riding on different interpretations of Bible passages. There are three basic areas in which the truth of The Code, as us cool kids call it, has been attacked.įirst, religion. Granted, Dan Brown claimed that the book was 99% historically accurate, and while that's a stretch, it's hardly the first time "Based On A True Story" has been used to heighten drama. It feels like.imagine if you saw a book on the shelf debunking Tron. Why? How? There was a whole cottage industry of books debunking 'The Da Vinci Code'Īm I the only person who finds this fascinating? I've asked around, and nobody else finds this interesting, that there were multiple books and high-level discussions that involved debunking the facts contained within The Da Vinci Code, a work of fiction. Like Freud said, "Sometimes a piece of something that might be dogshit is just dogshit."ģ. What hidden clues might be present in this mish-mash of objects?

It turns out that Richard was quite the mathematician, and at one point he was even approached to be in the NSA, a gig he turned down for family reasons. If this cover brings you right back to math class, you should know the contents were written by Richard G. Looking at that shell and thinking it looked like a shiny dog turd.
I can remember staring at that calculator longingly. Recognize this bad boy? Were you ever tortured by this one? I was. Dan Brown's dad probably wrote your math textbook If you want to take on that task, Godspeed.Ģ. Is there a secret clue to some shady Vatican dealings hidden in these songs? I didn't listen long enough to find out. The world isn't ready for a pale, balding geek shaking his booty on MTV. But it didn't pan out for reasons Brown sums up pretty simply: It turns out that before Dan Brown decided to go ahead and write one of the best-selling novels of all time, he had aspirations to be a pop singer.

There was too much good stuff to pass up simply because it wasn't the book's 10-year, tin anniversary as opposed to its 13-year, lace anniversary.ġ. However, there are so many weird things surrounding this book and its author, the list had to be written. It turns out 2016 is the ten-year anniversary of the movie's release. The book came out in 2003. Let's start this off with an admission of guilt: I decided on this column because I thought 2016 was the ten-year anniversary of the release of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code.
