Does anyone know if the 'Da Vinci Code' is fiction or true?

The Da Vinci Code is a novel and therefore a work of fiction. While the book's characters and their actions are obviously not real, the artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals depicted in this novel all exist. http://www.danbrown.com/novels/davinci_code/faqs.html May 13 06, 9:49 AM

This question ends with the number 666 - is that significant? kidding... well, to answer your question, Dan Brown uses many real facts and statistics and real place references, and yes there is a group that believes in the sangrial documents - (bloodline of Jesus) but not serious scholars. I'm sure it'll be a well made movie but sadly many will erroneously view the Catholic Church and Opus Dei in a bad light. May 13 06, 1:43 PM

It is pure fiction. While the author claims to base his story on some "facts," they are from dubious sources. Anyway, a fictional story based on a few "real" facts should still be considered pure fiction. Here's a link to an article the the StarTribune the gets into some of the basis for the story: http://www.startribune.com/614/story/429142.html To those conspiracy theorists out there, sorry to disappoint you. Perhaps there is a conspiracy, this just isn't it. May 13 06, 2:19 PM
