Rense recently published my letter in the article: "DaVinci, The Dagger & Bullcookies" at praising my "excellent autopsy of this latest controversy" that there is a disembodied, anonymous hand holding a dagger in Leonardo da Vinci's "THE LAST SUPPER."
The above controversy can be found in Dan Brown's best-seller book "THE DA VINCI CODE" (see below). Also, the same claim is found in the book "TURIN SHROUD" (see below). Due to Rense's huge readership, my website has received close to 1,500 visitors since May 3, and counting.
Anyone interested in seeing a photographic refutal of this controversy and not wanting to go to rense is welcome to visit my website by searching at google for "The Last Supper" or "hand with knife" or going to rense and looking for the above titled article which contains the link to my website. The search is worth the trouble.
From the book "THE DA VINCI CODE", page 248: "And here too," Langdon said, pointing now to the crowd of disciples near Peter. "A bit ominous, no?" Sophie squinted and saw a hand emerging from the crowd of disciples. "Is that hand wielding a dagger?" "Yes. Stranger still, if you count the arms, you'll see that this hand belongs to ... no one at all. It's disembodied. Anonymous."
From the book "TURIN SHROUD", by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince, page
104:
"...Look across to the other end of the table: there is a hand with a dagger in it, pointing straight at the stomach of the next disciple, yet not one art historian we have read has drawn our attention to it, and the artist who painted the only copy of this picture that has included this anomalous feature has had to alter the position of the next disciple - to make him more than a little of a contortionist - in order to make the gesture anatomically possible. As it stands, the hand belongs to nobody at the table."

I Absolulty loved it. A friend of mine was reading it in school and I took an intrest n it, Then, a week later, my grandpa sent it to my house and I read it. I loed it and couldn't put it down! Now I want to read " Angels and Demons" if thsi was so good, then that book should be great too.
I coldn;t belive how great the Divinci Code was. Not only was it filled with facts (which im nto normally into, i perfer a fake story about the supernatural) btu it follows a terrific story that always keeps you wonderng "what will happen next"...it was abosluetly terrific! (don;t mind my terrible spelling)

I'm on Chapter 25, dissecting every word, so to speak....🙂
Was supposed to check out Angels and Demons first but my bookstore didn't have it on stock so i went for the Code, and man, am i having a ball or what!
this is the kind of book where you can learn and have fun at the same time. Dan Brown is amazing, he makes it to my list of favorite authors, alongside Tolkien, Rowling and Rice...!
i thought it was an awesome book. but i think that people should read 'Angels and Demons' first..although it doesnt sound like it has anything to do with the Da Vinci Code..it does it kind of introduces you to the professor in that book...so you sort of understand it more..if at all any of that made sense. because my L.A. teacher MADE me read Andels and Demons before i could read The Da Vinci Code. i personally love all of Dan Browns books. ^_^
Actually, Angels and Demons bored the crap outta me, jeezums they were written on the very same pattern and the Code: Dead body, weird signs, Church, church, more church, organisations, conspiracy theory, some ppl from the passt, a beautful, foreign woman related to the body, bigger organisations, loads of exploding cars and random babbling.
THAT would be all that's in those books.
