Probably the biggest influence of 'The Da Vinci Code', this research into symbology in art, the historical Jesus and feminine religions opens up countless possibilities. Well researched, scholarly.

Thorough and extremely interesting. But are there a few leaps? Is it all REALLY based on the access the writer has to family records of the nobility? Stunning conclusions and abundant information.

Why do the Masons get obsessed with imagery and what are their secrets? Two Masons explain. Are they jumping to conclusions? I suspect not.
