On, there exists a movie called Zeitgeist, a documentary created by people who believe that they have uncovered the existence of a secret organization of investment bankers that control the world money supply, calling themselves the Illuminati. While researching for this piece, I came across many such theories. Brown pieces together a few select facts and weaves them into an entertaining storyline. As this is the case, it is hard to substantiate the so-called facts produced by Dan Brown as facts, which is why the novel was classified as fictitious.ĭan Brown is renowned for bringing these obscure theories to light, also doing so in his best sellers Angels and Demons and The Lost Symbol.
These fake documents were discovered and disproven in 1956, causing the notion of the priory to be dismissed by all but a few select conspiracy theorists. However, historical evidence proves that Pierre Plantard forged and planted documents around France to fake the existence of the priory.
If Dan Brown is correct, The Priory was founded in 1099 during the First Crusade by the Knights Templar, and has existed to the present protecting the Holy Grail, or more correctly, the bloodline of Christ. Myths that cannot be proven or disproven with the documents available to historians, and therefore must be left to speculation.Īs has been previously stated, the Da Vinci Code is centered on the existence, as well as the methodology of the Priory of Sion.
