The Book is filled with historical and factual errors. Here are just a few to make the point. If this book is wrong on such minor points why would anybody trust it for eternal issues?
Ø Brown’s Error:
The book claims there are 666 panes of glass on the pyramid outside the Louvre. The Museum says there are 673. (Page 21)
Ø Brown’s Error:
The book claims the Olympics were held for Venus in 8-year cycles but they were actually held for Zeus in 4-year cycles. (Page 36)
Ø Brown’s Error:
Mona Lisa is an androgynous portrait representing the fusing of male and Female (Page 120). However, Mona Lisa is a young Florentine woman who in 1495 married the well-known figure, Francesco del Giocondo, and thus came to be known as ``La Gioconda'‘. This is confirmed by the discovery of documentation in Florence, Italy archives. She had five children and two became nuns.
Ø Brown’s Error:
Sir Isaac Newton was a secret "Goddess Worshipper". Yet it is well known that he was a devout Christian …who wrote a commentary on the book of Daniel and Revelation and calculated the physical return of Christ between the years 2000 and 2050
Ø Brown’s Error:
The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in the 1950’s and included the Gospels. History clearly show that these scrolls were found in 1948 and there were no Gospels found there.
Ø Brown’s Error:
The Gnostic Gospel, The Gospel of Philip was not written in Aramaic as the Da Vinci Code implies but in Coptic, translated from Greek. (Page 246)
