Have you ever heard of the Fibonacci sequence? This is the sequence:
\n1 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 8 – 13 – 21
\nIt is a progression in which each term is equal to the sum of the two preceeding terms.
\nDan Brown uses this sequence as part of the clues left behind by Jacques Sauniere, the murdered curator. Sauniere raised his granddaughter, coaching her in endless puzzles. As an adult she became a cryptographer. When presented with the numbers in a scrambled form, she recognizes the sequence, and understands that it is part of a message.<\/p>\n
\nIf you choose to read “The Da Vinci Code,” you will also be introduced to the concept of the sacred feminine. You will learn about the Priory of Sion, a secret society formed in 1099, and you will learn about the Holy Grail, Knights Templar, and Free masons. You will also learn about the Rose Line.
\nIf you are interested in further reading on these subjects, I’ve found a few interesting sites on-line.
