you are very right jew. when the idea first came out it was intended to be fiction. then when so much interest and contrieversy (liz will correct that for me) came from the idea, dan brown decided to act serious about it and make it seem factual based in order to publicize his book. it worked. the novel is written based on the psuedopigriphical scriptures found in Nag Hammadi, Egypt about 50 years ago which are crap. these scriptures consist of many gospels including the gospel of mary, the gospel of phillip, the gospel of truth, the infancy gospel of thomas (not to be confused with the regular gospel of thomas), the apocryphon of john, and a few others. i have read a few of them and they are indeed crap. they are not to be taken seriously. these scripts dont even date back to Jesus' time and Dan Brown doesn't even correctly quote these fake gospels! the story is nonetheless amusing and is very creative and i will see the movie.
