Answer: "The Vitruvian Man"

The curator positioned his body to imitate the famous sketch by Leonardo Da Vinci to capture the attention of his granddaughter.

2. According to the book, what is the secret that "The Mona Lisa" is smiling about?

Answer: she is androgynous

Apparently, Da Vinci used Egyptian myths and other sources to create an androgynous being. It's very complicated, but very interesting for its intricacy.

3. Who is the Teacher?

Answer: Teabing

Teabing deceives Sophie and Langdon to get to the Holy Grail before them.

4. According to the book, who is sitting at the right hand of Jesus in Da Vinci's "The Last Supper"?

Answer: Mary Magdalene

Peter's hand is making a threatening gesture to Mary Magdalene, apparently for Jesus loving her more than the other apostles. Many theologians have disproved this, claiming that it is John sitting next to Jesus.

5. What is the Holy Grail?

Answer: a corpse

It is stated that the corpse is supposed to be Mary Magdalene.

6. On which day were the Knights of Templar ordered to be executed?

Answer: October 13

Friday, October 13 was the day they were ordered to be executed by the Pope. This started the superstition of Friday the 13th.

7. What is the Fibonacci sequence?

Answer: 1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21

The Fibonacci sequence is discussed many times in the book. It is where each number added with the next will equal the third.

8. According to the book, where is Mary Magdalene's body buried?

Answer: The Louvre

The story starts in the museum and eventually ends there as well as she is buried in the new facade of the museum. Only four people are supposed to know about this. Oops, the author let out the secret!

9. Could the Priory of Sion have been an actual organization (according to the book)?

Answer: Yes

Yes! This organization did exist and the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci, Sir Isaac Newton, Nicolas Flamel, Claude Debussy, and Victor Hugo were grandmasters. Whether the organization exists today remains a mystery.

10. What did Langdon and Sophie find in the safety deposit box?

Answer: a cryptex

The cryptex plays a big role in the book, not only for what is inside, but the code itself is full of historical facts and lessons.
