The da Vinci Code

The Da Vinci Code written by Dan Brown has been an amazingly popular book.

The book begins with a murder of the Louvre's curator inside the museum. This eventually leads to clues within the paintings of Da Vinci, and the discovery of a secret society known as Priory of Sion. There is a another group known as Opus Dei, and this group wants the Priory's secrets.

That is the basis of the book. I was hugely disappointed with the story. For me, it was just 'plain vanilla.'

The following article however, is not plain vanilla.

Let us take a look at another of Da Vinci's works:

The Last Supper, with a special modification.
Many individuals have made much of the fact that this painting is supposed to depict Jesus dining with his "wife," Mary Magdalene next to him. I certainly agree that the figure next to Jesus is obviously a woman, but is it Mary Magdalene? Or is it someone else? And is the clue meant to point to something else, something that was know then, and we only have the clues in the stars, in myth and legend, and in a Cathedral in Auch?

Much has been made of the two "anomalous hands" in the painting by Leonardo da Vinci. One of these hands is found making a "cutting motion" at the throat of the woman seated next to Jesus. The other hand emerges holding a knife just behind the man seated to the woman's right. If you use the hand with the knife, the hand making the cutting motion, the right hand of Jesus, his forehead, and the palm of his left hand as "points," you have exactly the tracing of the constellation of Cassiopeia MIRRORED.
The True Identity of Fulcanelli and
The Da Vinci Code.
