So, anybody had any idea about this? Let's talk about it here. smile

I know that this post was a while ago but I thought I would reply!
I'm a huge Dan Brown fan, I've enjoyed all of them so far.Angels and Demons being the best I reckon.
Can't wait for 'The Solomon Key', should be awesome.
I havn't really thought about the plot because his books tend to be unpredictable. Im looking forward to learning more about The Freemasons and their history. I liked the idea in 'Angels and Demons' of the Illuminati infiltrating the Masons. Should be a good one!

Jury
yes Hopefully, a good one.

Hey Jury.

Do you have any idea on the release date for the book? I've searched the web but can't find anything.
So When did you first get into the Dan Brown books? I just picked up The Da Vinci Code last August on holiday and just read it for two days solid, I was hooked.
Could you recommend any books that are similiar to the Dan Brown ones?

I bought and read 'The Rule of Four' because it boasted to be 'The Da Vinci Code for people with brains'. I beg to differ, it doesn't even compare in my opinion, have you read it?
Am reading 'The Assassini' by Tom Gifford at the moment, seems quite good so far.

I forgot the site where I found the Solomon Key. But it says there that it would be released next year. I'm not so sure of the exact date.

I've heard of the Rule of Four somewhere but i haven't read it.

How about the "The Genesis Code" by John Case? Quite a smart thrill also but doesn't have heavy facts as Dan Brown's books have.

I've read the first chapters but I've stopped it for a while since I prefered to read Angels and Demons and Digital Fortress. happy

The Genesis Code is probably about Genetics, Cloning... and the Beast... 666.... Hitler... the Jews etc. ... I guess. happy

I did start to read The Genesis Code at one point but I can't remember why I didn't finish it, lol, ah well, it's on my list.
Like I said before Angels and Demons would have to be the best in my opinion, Rome and the Vatican really interests me. If only the Vatican archives were possibly to get into, oh the things you could discover.
Digital Fortress too-good one! Though the Robert Langdon stories are hard to beat.
To be honest if you see The Rule of Four I wouldn't really suggest it, it's like reading someone elses memories from their college years, not really interesting unless you were there,lol.
If you come across any of the PJ Tracy books, I would recommend. Pretty good mysteries, and some memorable characters.
I'll have another ganders round for some sort of release date- 2006, just way to long to wait.

Freemasons, Illuminati, Knights Templar, Priory of Sion...
The Great Seal, Pyramid, Obelisk, Ellipses, Star of David, Pentagram...

Such were Dan Brown's favorite objects. I am just thinking what would be the content of this Langdon's third adventure.

Freemasons.
America's Founding Fathers.

So, let's start with this one.

The Washington D.C. Pentagram

You can see how the US Capital main roads connect to form the Star of Solomon - a Pentagram.

From this point, let's figure out how the Founding Fathers layout the map of US Capital City.

Now, extending the map to the north, we can see the intersection point of the New Hampshire Ave and the U St. From this point, we can make a straightline to connect the vertexes of the Pentagram at the Dupont and the Washington Circles. Also another line on the other side connecting Logan Circle and Mt Vemont Square.

Here, we can produce an equilateral triangle with 52 degrees base angles. This triangle is the...

Pyramid of Gizeh

You'll notice the base of the triangle connecting the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, The National Mall and the United States Capitol.

Jury
Studying again the Pentagram, we can see the intersection point of the White House, Dupont Circle and the Logan Circle. This produces the Scott Circle.

Not really a circle. It's an Ellipse. Identical to the Ellipse of the Washington Monument.

And try to look the aerial view of the Scott Circle below.

Yes. It's a small version of the Star of David. From this point we can make an enlargement of this symbol.

The Star of David

Jury
We will learn the meaning of these symbols next time. smile

Jury
Oh, I forgot to present how the three symbols should look like when combined. happy

These symbols really reveal amazing facts about the US Capital City.

Hopefully, this is where we can derive the symbol of the Freemasons.

Misc_Rose
WOW- I'm stunned at all that information-brilliant! You have really thought is through, incredible. Quite looking forward to discussing this book with you after we have both read it.

Jury
Oh, I'm like so carried away. happy I would like to reserved this thread for the Solomon Key alone.

So I am carrying this thread over OTF:

The Symbology Thread
