I'm Michael Bott, half of the Standing with Stones channel team. This film was made sometime before Rupert Soskin and I started producing the Standing with Stones films, but thought you might like to see it anyway. Back in 2005 - at the hight of 'Da Vinci Code' mania - I was



commissioned by a publisher in New York to make a film about the background to Dan Brown's novel. Why me? Well, I had been working with and was friends with the grandaddy of the whole 'alternative history' phenomenon, co-author of "Holy Blood, Holy Grail', Henry Lincoln. Henry



was concerned that there was an awful lot of nonsense being published at the time about him and the whole story behind the Da Vinci Code, so he leapt at the chance to put the record straight - and to add in what he believes is the 'true' mystery behind the hype. 'Origins of the Da



Vinci Code' was born. Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code sparked a cultural phenomenon which has led millions of people to explore the mysteries of the isolated hilltop village of Rennes-le-Chateau .Behind the fiction of the novel is a wealth of detail originally uncovered by Henry



Lincoln in his book Holy Blood, Holy Grail. Origins of The Da Vinci Code sets out to explore these mysteries in detail, including: the history of the Rennes-le-Chateau; the development of the Holy Bloodline hypothesis before the publication of Dan Brown's novel; how Henry Lincoln



discovered the codes; the discovery of the Rennes-le-Chateau geometry; startling new discoveries of more landscape geometry beyond the original Pentacle of Mountains; the true extent of the Invisible Temple' and more! What do Da Vinci Code fans miss at Rennes-le-Chateau?



Did the Priory of Sion exist? Does it exist today? What are the secrets of the Code that threaten the Church? These questions and more are explored in this all new exclusive film revealing the secrets of The Da Vinci Code. Origins of the Da Vinci Code is the ultimate guide to the truth and hidden history behind Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code.



P.S. - don't take it too seriously ... please?
