Book Review:
According to the author, the book is not a work of fiction but entirely based on truth. If you carefully verify each piece of information, the book can send a clear message to the reader while introducing many new historical insights.
Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, translated by Mohammad Nazim Uddin, is an impressive work. The essence of the original text is well captured, although a few sections may seem a bit complex. However, if you mentally organize the characters from the beginning, you likely won’t face much confusion.
The book mainly challenges Christian beliefs, portraying Jesus as an ordinary man and presenting Mary Magdalene, who is labeled as a prostitute in Christianity, as a holy woman and Jesus's wife.
At its core, this is a thriller that references authentic documents from Jesus's time. These documents, if revealed, could disprove many of the Church’s current doctrines. The book highlights a conflict between the Pagan-oriented Priory of Sion and the Christian Church. The Priory of Sion is said to possess secret documents, the location of which has been protected through puzzles crafted by the Priory's grandmasters. These puzzles also safeguard Jesus's bloodline, which has been preserved under different aliases.
Some Quotes from the Book:
Line 1: "The Bible is not the word of God, my dear. It was not divinely created. It didn't fall magically from the heavens. It was a man-made creation during a pivotal moment in history."
Line 2: "King Constantine saw the rise of Christianity, so in a way, he bet on the winning horse." (He combined elements of Paganism with Christianity and became a Christian.)
Line 3: "Even the Christians' weekly day of rest was borrowed from the Pagans." (Pagans traditionally rested on 'Sunday' because they worshiped the sun, which Constantine later established as the day of Christian worship.)
Line 4: "During the blending of these two religions, Constantine felt the need to strengthen the new Christian tradition, which is why he convened the famous Council of Nicaea."
Line 5: "At this council, many aspects of Christianity—such as the date of Easter, the role of bishops, the authority of priests, and most notably, Jesus's divinity—were decided by vote. Before this council, Jesus's followers regarded him as a mortal prophet, not the son of God."
Line 6: "Once, the power of women and their ability to bring forth life was considered sacred. But this threatened the male-dominated Church, which is why holy women were condemned as witches."
"God did not create original sin; rather, it was a human creation."
Line 7: "Langdon recalled the notorious Friday the 13th of 1307, when Pope Clement ordered the mass killing of hundreds of Knights Templar. (This event is the origin of the belief that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day.)"
Line 8: "How many card players know that their four suits—spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds—originated from four tarot cards associated with the Holy Grail: swords, cups, scepters, and pentacles?"
Line 9: "(In its five layers of petals) the rose symbolized the five phases of a woman's life—birth, death, menstruation, motherhood, and menopause."
Line 10: "Langdon softly explained in the beginning, 'Sex was once seen as a means of connecting with God. But for the Catholic Church, which claimed to be the sole mediator between God and humanity, this posed a threat. Therefore, the Church worked hard to portray sex as sinful, and unfortunately, they succeeded in establishing it as one of the greatest sins.'"
The book also delves into various fascinating and controversial historical truths, such as the ancient ritual of Hieros Gamos (2000 years old), the origin of the victory sign "V," the true beginnings of the Church of Satan, and why the goat/sheep head became its symbol. I believe this book can provide readers with a clearer understanding of these significant historical concepts.
