The Da Vinci Code: Are you clued in?
By Glenn Whipp, Film Critic
Haven't cracked "The Da Vinci Code," but looking for a jump on Ron Howard's movie, which opens Friday? Here's a roundup of the major players and places from Dan Brown's mega-seller, as well as a look at whether the novel's assertions are accurate. (Warning: contains spoilers.)
The Priory of Sion: The first sentence in the "Code" reads: "FACT: The Priory of Sion — a European secret society founded in 1099 — is a real organization." In the book, it is this society — whose members supposedly included Leonardo Da Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli and Victor Hugo — that keeps the marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene a secret.
What the experts say: The Priory, a repository for all manner of conspiracy theories, was a hoax created in 1956 by French anti-Semite Pierre Plantard. ("60 Minutes" just ran a segment on the group. If you missed it, you can see it summarized here
The Priory of Brion, however, is real, a band created by former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant in 1999. And, as we all know, Zeppelin members worshipped the devil. Which brings us to ...
The Louvre Pyramid: The book claims that "this pyramid, at (French) President (Francois) Mitterrand's explicit demand, has been constructed of exactly 666 panes of glass — a bizarre request that had always been a hot topic among conspiracy buffs who claimed 666 was the number of Satan."
What the experts say: The I.M. Pei-designed glass pyramid, added to the entrance of the Louvre Museum in 1989, has somewhere between 673 and 698 glass panes (depending on the count made by the Louvre and Pei, respectively), making it an unlikely tourist spot on the Antichrist's next vacation itinerary.
Da Vinci's Last Supper: Brown says that the figure seated to Jesus' right (our left) in Da Vinci's 1498 masterpiece is actually Mary Magdalene and not the apostle John, which, naturally, heightens the connection between Mary and Jesus, but also leaves the painting one disciple short.
What the experts say: There is unanimous agreement among art historians that the person is John, a young man that other artists of the period — Castagno and Ghirlandaio — rendered as an androgynous or feminine figure. The figure in Da Vinci's painting is also clearly wearing male clothing.
"Unmentioned at the Last Supper in Scripture (or in any of the Apochryphal gospels), the Magdalene is almost never included in depictions of that event," says Robert Baldwin, an art history professor at Connecticut College. "Only two images including her are presently known to me. Both add her as a 14th figure, placed submissively at Christ's feet in front of the table.
"Leonardo could have added the Magdalene to his ëLast Supper,' but he would not have removed one of the disciples."
Jesus married Mary Magdalene: The book's hero, Robert Langdon, a Harvard scholar specializing in religious symbols, says it would have been unusual for Jesus to be a bachelor because Jewish men of the time were always married. Later, it is argued that Jesus' spouse is Mary, using the gnostic Gospel of Philip as proof.
What the experts say: Many Jewish men from the first century remained single and celibate — the Apostle Paul comes to mind. As for the Gospel of Philip, it is damaged and, thus, incomplete in its brief depiction of the relationship between Jesus and Mary.
There's also the gnostic Gospel of Mary, which is used in "The Da Vinci Code" to support the idea that Jesus entrusted the church to Mary after his death.
"The Gospel of Mary doesn't say that at all," says Bart Ehrman, a professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina and author of "Truth and Fiction in The Da Vinci Code."
"The Gospel of Mary is about Jesus appearing to Mary after the resurrection and giving her a revelation," Ehrman told beliefnet.com, "and there's a debate among the disciples about whether Jesus would actually reveal something this important to a woman."
Rosslyn Chapel: The 15th-century Scottish church said to be the location of Mary Magdalene's remains before they were moved to the Louvre Pyramid.
What the experts say: Brown doesn't even purport to believe this, though that hasn't negated a huge spike in visitors at Rosslyn. The Louvre has also been forced to rope off the exact spot mentioned in the book, lest anyone be tempted to go digging.
