THE REAL DA VANCI CODEAS SEEN ON THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL
Learn The Truth Behing The Holy Grail Legend--And The Incendiary Theories Surrounding It
HISTORY...OR HOKUM? Take a Look at The "Facts" On Which Dan Brown Built His Blockbuster Novel
You've read the novel. Now learn the real story. With intellectual rigor--and a hint of impish humor--noted British actor and commentator Tony Robinson follows the trail laid down by Dan Brown in The Da Vinci Code and undertakes his own quest for the Holy Grail.
Interviewing such respected experts as Biblical scholar Elaine Pagels, Robinson crisscrosses Europe and the Holy Land, from Scotland's Rosslyn Chapel to Jerusalem's Temple Mount, in hot pursuit of historical truth. He also sits down with Michael Baigent, who co-authored Holy Blood, Holy Grail--the nonfiction book that covers the same ground as Brown's novel.
Did a sect of medieval warrior-monks uncover a shocking secret about Jesus, Mary Magadalene, and the HOly Grail? Did Leonardo Da Vinci plant clues to the long-suppressed truth in his paintings? Do shadowy societies protect the Grail, even today? The Real Da Vinci Code is an informative, entertaining investigation that authoritatively separates imaginative fiction from historical fact.
