The Da Vinci Code had gained so much popularity that a film version was even produced
on its behalf. It just means to say that there really had been a large number of people who had become interested from all parts of the globe regarding the matter, maybe because of the novel''s storyline that seemed to tempt out its vast audience.
Though the book was categorically a fictional one, Brown claimed to have extracted his stories'' foundation from "very reliable resources". Such references included books that somehow points out the same ideas that Brown wants his audience to picture.
One of the books that Dan Brown had alledgedly used in his references was "THE HOLY BLOOD AND THE HOLY GRAIL". A book that was first published in the United Kingdom in 1982. It primarily talks about the quest of the authors in unravelling a "secret message" that was
hidden to humankind since the time of Christianity.
It is quite a controversial book that had received enormous criticisms in reviews because of the vested theological and historical interests that the authors had implicitly challenged. It gained a shock-horror status as a news story during its time.
The book is sure to make any Philosophical person think twice by its daring
projections of what had really happened in the past. Those projections were claimed to be supported by mysterious documents as the DEAD SEA SCROLLS and other materials that are said to be hidden from us by the Roman Catholic Church.
Moreover, it was a great book which could either improve your faith or question it. A lot of revelations and conspiracy theories concerning the life of Jesus Christ and issues dated as far as the Merovingian dynasty to the time of Crusades were so skillfully brought up.
Also mentioned in this book is a profound history of a secret society named as the Priory of Sion and its relation to the Knights Templar, Freemasonry, the Church, the legend of the Holy Grail and the bloodline of Christ.
THE HOLY BLOOD AND THE HOLY GRAIL is absolutely an occult classic,the well-documented and often sinister facts written in this book could either infuriate or fascinate any religious reader.
