[QUOTE="Nyarlathotep, post: 2378057, member: 1799"] I've always called it the dumbed down version of Focault's Pendulum... or the Chariots of the Gods version of Holy Blood, Holy Grail. (BTW this is the only board I frequent that has people who have read Focault's Pendulum... it gives me a warm glowing feeling :)). I figure it's so popular for two reasons. 1) It's got a contraversial theme (and the loud denunciations from the church have just spured sales). and 2) The blurb about everything being factual at the begining seems to make every one believe this is also a major scholarly work, with secrets that have never been revealed till now. As you can tell, I didn't like it at all. [/QUOTE]
