Holy Blood, Holy Grail
I haven't read Brown yet, but am currently reading Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln. This is purportedly the research material behind Brown's work of fiction.
​
I am about half way through and haven't gotten to JC, MM, the grail or the Merovingians yet. So far it has been going through the traditions behind the Knights Templar and their connections to the Freemasons and supposedly the Prieure de Sion behind it all.
​
I have no way of verifying anything or of accessing the obscure French documents it references, but it is an interesting read.

Re: Holy Blood, Holy Grail
EXACTLY!
​
If the Priory actually exists then it is expected that they would want everyone to believe that the book is wrong.

Re: Holy Blood, Holy Grail
And supposedly they did just this in the past.
​
Hid within the Catholic church by posing as a group searching for heretical secret societies.
​
What better place for a heretical secret society to hide?

Re: there is no such thing as bad publicity.....
I never really understood the hoopla the book got. It was an admitted work of fiction based on an admitted work of speculation.
