The Da Vinci Hoax (3)

The Plot

While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum. Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. Solving the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues subtly placed in the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci.

Langdon joins forces with a French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, and learns the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion-a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others. The Louvre curator sacrificed his life, murdered by a monk of Opus Dei, to protect the Priory's most sacred trust: the location of an important religious relic, hidden for centuries.

As the mystery unfolds we discover the secret involves the truth about Jesus Christ and His teachings. They are not what Christians have believed. Jesus Christ never claimed to be divine. He was a human teacher of an ancient matriarchal religion that worshipped the sacred feminine. He married Mary Magdalene, whom He intended as head of His Church. After His crucifixion she fled to southern France where she had their child (Sarah). Their bloodline survived in the Merovingian dynasty and in the Priory of Sion.

The original matriarchal religion that Christ taught was suppressed and then recast by the Emperor Constantine. He had Christ declared Son of God at the Council of Nicaea, decided the canon of Scripture and altered the Gospels to reflect the newly declared divinity of Christ. This new state-approved patriarchal religion was institutionalized as the Catholic Church.

The sacred feminine was demonized and Mary Magdalene portrayed as a prostitute to discredit her. The followers of the true religion were persecuted and driven underground. The Priory of Sion still guards her relics and records, which were excavated from the subterranean ruins of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Priory's military wing, the Knights Templar, during the Crusader kingdom.

The ancient search for the Holy Grail is not about the chalice Christ used at the Last Supper but about Mary Magdalene and a return to the worship of the sacred feminine.
