07 maggio Da Vinci CodeI read the 'Da Vinci Code' (Dan Brown) a while ago and thought it was an excellent story, well thought out and executed. It also impinged on some work I was doing on crop circles, inasmuch as the geometries and mathematical series involved in Da Vinci Code (DVC) are echoed in some formations we have seen in our cereal fields over the years. The clever use of the Fibonacci series and its connection with the Golden Ratio was great. Now, it appears that, as the film is about to be released, the established Church seems to be getting rattled about some of the content. Are they afraid that some of the issues raised in this, and other Dan Brown books, may cause people to think that maybe, just maybe there could be a little more truth than is comfortable. What are they trying to hide?
Another aspect is the recent court case in which Michael Baigent allegedly said that some of the story of DVC was based on Holy Blood, Holy Grail.
Baigent lost the case ... but it is interesting to note that HBHG has shot up to number four in the paperback Non-Fiction list. DVC is number one in the paper-back Fiction list.
I shall probably delve into the wonders of Fibonacci at a later date ... and Vitruvian Man.
