may be right. But actually Da Vinci left a big clue that the painting was supposed to be androgynous. Has anyone here ever heard of an Egyptian god named Amon?” “Hell yes!” the big guy said. “God of masculine fertility!” Langdon was stunned. “It says so on every box of Amon condoms.” The muscular man gave a wide grin. “It’s got a guy with a ram’s head on the front and says he’s the Egyptian god of fertility.”

In a military maneuver worthy of the CIA, Pope Clement issued secret sealed orders to be opened simultaneously by his soldiers all across Europe on Friday, October 13 of 1307.

This supposedly is the order that led to the end of the Knights Templer. I wonder if it was the inspired for Order 66 in Revenge of the Sith.

“For a thousand years,” Langdon continued, “legends of this secret have been passed on. The entire collection of documents, its power, and the secret it reveals have become known by a single name—Sangreal.

Sophie looked down at the painting, seeing to her astonishment that everyone at the table had a glass of wine, including Christ. Thirteen cups. Moreover, the cups were tiny, stemless, and made of glass. There was no chalice in the painting. No Holy Grail.

Most of Disney’s hidden messages dealt with religion, pagan myth, and stories of the subjugated goddess.

Honestly I can't buy this at all. Mothers are almost always absent in Disney movies and up in till a few decades ago, many female characters were passive. You're not going to convince me Disney has been or is now a defender of the sacred feminine.

Newton’s tomb consisted of a massive black-marble sarcophagus on which reclined the sculpted form of Sir Isaac Newton, wearing classical costume, and leaning proudly against a stack of his own books—Divinity, Chronology, Opticks, and Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica

This sounds very cool! Wonder if there's a VR tour of this part of Westminster Abbey?
