- The novel is about the possibility of Jesus having being married to Mary Magdalene. Secret societies and conspiracy theories form a major part of the narrative.
- Although the novel fails on many levels, there is anecdotal evidence that it has succeeded in persuading many previously-neutral non-believers to be skeptical of the Bible and suspicious of the Church. A 2006 survey, for example, found that seventeen percent of Canadians "think Jesus's death on the cross was faked and that he married and had a family." 1
- The Da Vinci Code is a 2003 thriller written by Dan Brown. It sold 80 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the bestselling novels in history. It also caused a huge controversy because of its statements about early Christianity, and was sharply criticized for historical inaccuracy. In 2006, a film adaptation was released. The story begins with a museum curator getting killed, setting a historian framed for the murder and his newfound lady co-investigator on a puzzle quest for the Holy Grail.
- The Da Vinci Code is based on Dan Brown's book. The pictures are drawn as opposed to photographs from the film, this adding a much nicer effect. However buildings and items were photographed. There are 3 STTs for this pack. The first two were promotions with "The Sun" which were Newton's Tomb and Temple Church. Madonna of the Rocks was a promotion which came with the Da Vinci Code board game.
- The Da Vinci Code is a popular book written on Earth that was later adapted to a movie. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell has mentioned and possibly read the book, comparing the level of truth of the book to the Book of Origin. (SG1: "The Shroud")
- Oscar Wilde "I watched it, but just didn't get it!" The DaVinci Code has been researched for generations by Biblical Scholars and the holy mullet of Tom Hanks after Leonardo Da Vinci wrote the New Testament, declaring, "I have found the secret to resurrection. I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which this margin is too narrow to contain." The New Testament was entered into a computer and a few random buttons were pushed. The Code read as follows: "tceleS B hsuP".
- '''The Da Vinci Code''' gives hope to mediocre writers everywhere. Just take some formula plot ideas and thin characters. Add a religious conspiracy theory, blur fact and fiction - making sure its controversial - and you've got yourself a best seller. From a marketing point of view this book has everything. From a literature point of view this book has erm... er.. well. I must give a mention to the English knight character, Sir Leigh Teabing. Oh, how I cringed. This is possibly the worst portrayal of an English man since Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.

- '''The Da Vinci Code''' gives hope to mediocre writers everywhere. Just take some formula plot ideas and thin characters. Add a religious conspiracy theory, blur fact and fiction - making sure its controversial - and you've got yourself a best seller. From a marketing point of view this book has everything. From a literature point of view this book has erm... er.. well. If you're trying to write a commercial thriller then there are one or two lessons this book can teach. The chapters are short, usually no more than four pages, the shortest one being only half a page. The chapters switch the action between the good guys, bad guys and the cops, with almost every one ending on a cliff-hanger. Most chapters begin by reminding you where you were the last time you met these characters before resolving the cliff-hanger and moving you on to another one. This makes for an easy read and a good page turner. The nature of the means that it's weighed down by large amounts of exposition, though to Dan Brown's credit he does work hard to break it up and mix it with the action. On a couple of occasions the main character is made to flash back to a Harvard lecture room purely to lighten the explanation about some symbol or other. These devices often feel forced and contrived, as does much of the plot. You know what they say about the graceful swan gliding across a lake. Well with this book the reader is under water watching the legs. I must give a mention to the English knight character, Sir Leigh Teabing. Oh, how I cringed. This is possibly the worst portrayal of an English man since Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Some notes for American authors who don't get out much. *The 'London Police' are know as The Metropolitan Police *MI5 are responsible for national security and are unlikely to be interested in murderers *Lots of English people do drink coffee, many preferring it to tea and we don't usually make coffee in a microwave.

- Oscar Wilde "I watched it, but just didn't get it!" The DaVinci Code has been researched for generations by Biblical Scholars and the holy mullet of Tom Hanks after Leonardo Da Vinci wrote the New Testament, declaring, "I have found the secret to resurrection. I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which this margin is too narrow to contain." The Code remained a mystery until 1987, when the code was finally deciphered by the The Riddler, allowing Gotham City district attorney Harvey Kent (Two-face) to bring charges against the notorious Da Vinci crime family. The New Testament was entered into a computer and a few random buttons were pushed. The Code read as follows: "tceleS B hsuP". The meaning of the Code was not immediately apparent, until Catholic Theologian Thomas Anderson AKA Neo, played Contra with the intention of solving the Theory of Everything or TOE, used the Code, thereby gaining 30 lives. It is however currently being assumed that the code reveals the location of the other three turtles. This has not been proven yet but research is currently underway. A variation of the code was found that allowed TWO players to get 30 lives. Soon, it was discovered that there were many games for which the Da Vinci Code worked. Baffled archaeologists and pharmacists often confuse DaVinci Code with The Konami Code, which is a book by Dan Brown or The Nuremberg Code by Dr. Josef Mengele. Oddly enough, 57% of them explode, littering their surroundings with detritus and gore. The Roman Catholic Church had banned competing Codes on pain of death, until 1915, when Monsignieur Francis Bacon stumbled on a manufacturing process which rendered Catholics unexplodable. In an effort to gain a foothold on a highly competitive market, Microsoft's Xbox game developer Gerald Ford released the Da Halo Code, a multi-player game which establishes that Mary Magdelene was in fact Jesus' wife.
