DaVinci Code, A Mortal Jesus

in the beginning of angels and demons theres an authors note that says "references to all works of art, tombs, tunnels, and architecture in Rome are entirely factual, as are their exact locations. they can still be seen today. the brotherhood of the illuminati is also factual"

i could be wrong, but i think there is one similar in the da vinci code. i know the one for A&D because im reading it right now

yes it states:

FACT:

The Priory of Sion - a European secret society founded in 1099-is a real organization. In 1975 Paris's Bibliotheque Nationale discovered parchments known as Les Dossiers Secrets, identifying numerous members of the Priory of Sion, including Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Leonardo da Vinci.

The Vatican prelature known as Opus Dei is a deeply devout Catholic sect that has been the topic of recent controversy due to reports of brainwashing, coercion, and a dangerous practice known as "corporal mortification." Opus Dei has just completed construction of a $47 million National Headquarters at 243 Lexington Avenue in New York City.

All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate.

And to Saint4God, I know exactly what you mean!
