Konu hakkında Dan Brown’ın son kitabı The Lost Symbol’dan alıntı. Bölüm 96:

Mal’akh was dragging Langdon across the living room when the congregation declared, “Amen!”

Amon, Mal’akh corrected. Egypt is the cradle of your religion. The god Amon was the prototype for Zeus . . . for Jupiter . . . and for every modern face of God. To this day, every religion on earth shouted out a variation of his name. Amen! Amin! Aum!

Oyunu bitrdiğinizde Dan Brown’ın kendi sesinden şu mesajı duyuyorsunuz:

“This is Dan Brown.
Congratulations on completing the symbol quest, in reaching the 33rd degree with no errors.
As you may have noticed the book jacket in the US is covered with symbols and icons.
Encoded within them, are five hidden messages for you to find and decrypt.
Best of luck and i hope you enjoyed the novel.”

33 masonlar için önemli bir rakam. Bir mason olarak yükselebileceğiniz en büyük derece. Kitapta genelde Masonlar hakkında olduğundan güzel bir tercih :)

Bu arada bahsetmeden duramayacağım bir video ile karşılaştım. Lynne McTaggart ile yapılan söyleşide kendisinin bu durumdan hiç haberi olmadığını ve kitapta web sitesnini falan ismini gördüğünde çok şaşırdığını söylemiş. İnsanın inansı gelmiyor. Siz inandınız mı?

“Katherine now looked puzzled. “Jeova Sanctus Unus is an anagram of a famous alchemist’s name in Latin?”

Langdon grabbed a piece of paper and pencil off the dean’s desk, writing as he talked. “Latin interchanges the letters J for I and the letter V for U, which means Jeova Sanctus Unus can actually be perfectly rearranged to spell this man’s name.”

Langdon wrote down sixteen letters: Isaacus Neutonuus.

He handed the slip of paper to Katherine and said, “I think you’ve heard of him.”

Yani Isaac Newton. Kendisini severiz. Bilim tarihinin çok önemli isimlerindendir. Ancak bu tarz gelişkin beyinlerin, sürekli bir şeylerle meşgul omaktan, bazen ne kadar enteresan ve gereksiz şeylerle uğraştıklarını görünce insan şaşırıyor.

The moment Zachary received the money, he broke from the family, disappearing from the house without taking any of his belongings. He surfaced a few months later in the tabloids: TRUST FUND PLAYBOY LIVING EUROPEAN HIGH LIFE.
The tabloids took joy in documenting Zachary’s spoiled life of debauchcry. The photos of wild parties on yachts and drunken disco stupors were hard for the Solomons to take, but the photos of their wayward teen turned from tragic to frightening when the papers reported Zachary had been caught carrying cocaine across a horder in Eastern Europe: SOLOMON MILLIONAIRE IN TURKISH PRISON.
The prison, they learned, was called Soganlik—a brutal F-class detention center located in the Kartal district outside of Istanbul. Peter Solomon, fearing for his son’s safety, flew to Turkey to retrieve him. Katherine’s distraught brother returned empty-handed, having been forbidden even to visit with Zachary. The only promising news was that Solomon’s influential contacts at the U.S. State Department were working on getting him extradited as quickly as possible.
Two days later, however, Peter received a horrifying international phone call. The next morning, headlines blared: SOLOMON HEIR MURDERED IN PRISON.
The prison photos were horrific, and the media callously aired them all, even long after the Solomons’ private burial ceremony. Peter’s wife never forgave him for failing to free Zachary, and their marriage came to an end six months later. Peter had heen alone ever since.
