Art researcher finds hidden Da Vinci image
For those who read and wondered at Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code", here's some late breaking news that seems to add more credibility to Mr. Browns conjectures.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/news/...573915,00.html Be sure to open the .pdf file in order to more closely examine the art work.

Pretty interensting, PR. I've never read the book, but I do hear it's an excellent read. I might have to pick up a copy.

It is a great book if you are prepared to keep an open mind and understand that it is a work of fiction.

Fiction? Didn't know that... I don't know anything about the book, but somehow I was under the impression it was fact based with some speculation. Being fiction kinda takes a little wind out of the "wanting to read it" sail for me.

Well it's the sequel to Angels and Demons which I believe its pretty obviously fictatious, with the anitmatter floating around and such.

It depends on who you ask as to whether it's fact or fiction. It's based on real life, but how you interpret the messages left by Da Vinci is up to you.

I've seen the 2 hour special on the history channel several times. I've never read the book though. Its an interesting subject and definately something to be explored. I have always believed the continuity issues in the Bible (and I don't mean to start a war here) were because the Church controlled everything - today's propoganda.
