re: #151 Kenneth
Dan Brown based his crap on “Holy Blood, Holy Grail”.
Well, not according to the courts. But I know HBHG, and that whole subject SO WELL, that I can certainly say that he used HBHG as a source. Part of the problem is that HBHG was published as history, and all Brown had to do was claim he was using that book for historical research.
The authors of HBHG sued Brown for plagerism and lost. The courts found in favor of Brown.
