Well duh. Anyone looking to The Da Vinci code for some kind of revelation is misguided. A lot of the "facts" are results of misinterpretations or skewing. However, some of it is interesting and it's fun wondering how much of it is possible. Is Uriel slicing Jesus's throat, Mary getting ready to clench John's head, and Jesus praying to and being blessed by John in the original version of
Madonna of the Rocks? As far as I've seen and read, that interpretation of the painting first appeared in The Da Vinci code. If you look at the painting, it's possible. There are a lot of little things like that in the book that are just interesting ways to look at things. I'm not ready to defend the book for the entire thread or anything, but all these negative reactions are just stupid. Go read a real book and stop trying to sound smart for disliking the fuckin Da Vinci Code.
