devastating secret he'd keep for more than a few decades, under the auspices of the
fraternity. But it managed to hurt her albino figure, sooner or later death will come soon,
and he did not have much time. The only option is that he had to leave a message to
someone that important secret was not perish with his death. And the only person whose
believes him is ROBERT LANGDON.

Robert Langdon still enjoy after a full day struggling with the discussion of the
historical symbols at The American University of Paris, when someone knocked on the
door of his room at the Ritz. He was reluctant to accept guests at that hour, but he could not
refuse due to the presence of a photograph of her guests were very, very surprised.

Photo depicts a body stiff, who before his death seem strange to do things that can
not find the reason Langdon. He was motionless, stretched his arms and legs, in a creepy
blood circle. Odd, thought langdon.

Finally, guests who turned out to be a police officer brings Langdon to the scene as
a witness. In consideration, leading Langdon is a symbologist, and he is expected to resolve
the symbols that surround the victim.

Langdon was surprised to learn it was a crime scene and the Louvre museum was

13-3-21-1-1-8-5

O, Draconian Devil!

Oh, lame saint

 The sweepers proved circle of blood, strange symbols, and the position of the
bodies Sauniere extremely strange Saumiere done by himself, just before his death.
Langdon was more surprised, he did not understand what he wants Sauniere.

Then came Naveu Sophie, an agent of the police cryptography Paris. Sophie
Langdon Naveu convinced that he was brought to the scene not as a witness but as a
suspect. Because symbols are seen beside the corpse Langdon Sauniere was not the real
symbol. Symbols are true:

13-3-21-1-1-8-5

O, Draconian Devil!

Oh, lame saint

PS: looking for Robert Langdon

Langdon was more surprised, why is his name in the message Sauniere's death??
Langdon did not know Sauniere.

Finally, Langdon knew that Sophie is the granddaughter biological Naveu Jacques
Sauniere, and PS is the pet name for her grandson Sauniere, the abbreviation of Princess
Sophie. But there is nothing wrong with the death message, Langdon and Sophie did not
kill anyone to believe it. They both escape the police while thinking about the exact
meaning of the strange symbols found beside the body Sauniere.

After thinking hard, they were finally able to solve the meaning of the first symbol,
namely:

O, Draconian Devil!

Oh, lame saint

Was a perfect anagram for:

Leonardo davinci!

The Mona Lisa!

Langdon and Sophie Naveu ran towards painting mona lisa Leonardo Davinci is in
the Louvre. And there they were again confronted with a code that is no less strange. The
code reads:

SO DARK THE CONE OF MAN

Robert Langdon and Sophie Naveu should solve the codes, in addition to finding
the killer Jacques Sauniere also to clear the name Langdon. The method used to solve the
symbol Naveu Sophie first, making Langdon understands the meaning of the second term.
and their meanings are:

SO DARK THE CONE OF MAN

Was a perfect anagram for Davinci's work, viz:

MADONNA OF THE ROCKS

 They seemed to be exposed to the symbols of a chain that will lead them to the
identity of the real killer Sauniere. In the painting entitled Madonna of the Rocks they
recovered a strange death in the form of a message object that resembles a cross has
triangular prismatic rod that appeared to be smooth and randomly scattered. And on top of
the cross there is a logogram rose with the initials PS on it. With a sentence reads: 24 Rue
Haxo.

On his way to Rue Haxo, Langdon told Sophi the initials PS not only mean Princess
Sophie, the initials have another meaning, the meaning of which is much more powerful
than anything ever imagined Sophie. And PS are the initials for Preure de Sion. Or better
known as the Priory of Sion. Initials PS and roses are the symbol of the organization's
secret, and this symbol appears more than once in a message Sauniere's death, that Sauniere
was a member of the Priory of Sion.

In the Rue Haxo, they found a bank, then after finding deposits on behalf of Jacques
Sauniere they found an object, but the object can only be retrieved by entering a password
which amounts to 7 digit numbers, they think it possible that the figures in Saunière wrote
before his death is the password to open the safe in the bank??

They tried and they failed. Finally they found an astounding fact other dross that if
they change the order of the numbers, the numbers Saunière wrote a very famous series
Fabonachi.

13-3-21-1-1-8-5

Rearranged into

1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21

They include figures such as passwords, and then get out an object that knows what
it means. After taking these objects, Langdon and Sophie back to the run, they intend to
meet Langdon friend named Leigh Teabing, a historian who is expected to provide an
understanding of what exactly PREURE DE ZION also help solve the mystery code.

Arriving at the residence Leih Teabing, Langdon and Sophie were greeted very
warmly. Teabing explains, Preure De Sion is a secret organization, which contains
important people from all over amerrika and Europe. The main purpose of the formation of
this organization is to keep an ancient secret successfully enumerated by Knight Templar
found under the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. The secret is named Holly Grail.

Teabing also explained that the real Holy Grail is not the Holy Grail that had known
Sophie. Holly grail known by the general public is sacred chalice used at the Last Supper of
Jesus Christ before his death. But the Holy Grail is found by KNIGHT TEMPLAR under
the ruins of the temple solomon is true GRAIL. Holy grail that has metaphorical meaning.
That woman's uterus.

Teabing also showed concrete evidence that Jesus Christ was married to a woman
named MARY MAGDALENE, but the marriage violated the provisions of the church that
says Jesus is god, god is not God married and had no children. But the fact that Jesus was
married and from Jesus marriage blessed with children. And the fact is that if disclosed,
would threaten eksistemsi Catholic Church. Finally, the church ordered to kill all the
descendants of MARY MAGDALENE. This is where the role Priory, in charge of
maintaining the safety of their offspring revealed truth of Jesus and the fact that until the
appointed time. And chances are the codes that Sauniere left behind before his death is a
map to show the location of the Grail. And the person who killed Saunière was a possibility
from the church, so that they do not want astonishing fact was widespread.

Finally, after a winding search, Sophie and Langdon finally come to the last fact,
that turned out to be Sophie's grandmother and younger brother were estimated to have
been killed in the accident, is still alive. And Sophie is a descendant MERROVINGIAN
Naveu (a direct descendant of Jesus Christ). Not only that, they finally find out who the real
killer Naveu grandfather.

Jaqcues killer albino Sauniere was a man named Sylas, Oppus Dei follower, but the
brain of the murder was Leigh Teabing.

Leigh Teabing beguiling Sylas, and said that what Sylas do is for the safety of the
church. He managed to kill Saunier but he can not know where the location of the Holy
Grail hiding the truth.

This story is fictional, but is supported by the detailed facts concerning works of art,
secret documents and architectural prominent places such as the Louvre Museum and
Westminster Abbey. For this problem, it seems that Dan Brown, the author of this book,
has done extensive research so early in the book he boldly claimed that the facts presented
are accurate.

The interesting thing about this book is its ability to combine the story of Dan
Brown-themed suspense thriller with religious history and ancient cultures in Europe.
Adventures of Robert Langdon, who must pass a suspenseful escape attempt, tinged also
with his attempt to solve a series of puzzles related to expertise in symbology and beliefs of
ancient European history.

This book is recommended for fans of the novel who want to fill the weekends with
a suspenseful mystery story, as well as add insight into the history and culture of Europe.
