The Da Vinci Code is a 2003 mystery-detective novel written by Dan Brown. The novel received a great bang demand in worldwide; in fact, the novel constructed on an artistically attractive, exciting and rich in puzzles and codes that attracted readers. But about the uproar raised by the novel and the accompanied by the objections or support is the content of the novel itself, the content that is the more exciting than puzzles or codes it brought.

In short, the real beginning that the content of the novel is not inspired from the author himself but it’s the sum of the heritage accumulated over the past hundred years. This heritage participated in the drafting historians, adventurers, secret organizations ... etc.

Summary of the novel that the Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, Mary Magdalene in the Bibles is the sinner who repented and followed the Jesus everywhere and she cried every time she hear his sermons.
 According to the novel in the life of Christ, A hidden conflict or hostility broke out between St. Peter and the disciples of Christ on one hand and between Mary Magdalene on the other hand, because Christ chose his wife Magdalene, to spread his religion and his teachings, and he gave the succession to the establishment of the church and not St. Peter's.

After the crucifixion of Christ (according to the Christian belief), the Magdalene was pregnant and she feared for herself from oppression of St. Peter and the disciples, she ran away with her pregnancy to the south of France, in there lived a Jewish group where Magdalene found care between this group and then she gave birth to her daughter and this daughter married and had her offspring and the offspring remained located in southern France until the seventh century AD. Then the offspring of Christ mixed with the royal family (the Merovingian) in France. According to the novel, The last king of the Merovingian dynasty and his name Dagobert married a girl from the descendants of Christ, then they got a son and this has become an offspring exists over the ages.

Godfrey of Bouillon

The novel moves to content and up to the age of the Crusades. The novel says that Godfrey of Bouillon descended from Christ's offspring that came from Europe, in the fact that this person is real, He was the first king of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem that established by the Crusaders in Jerusalem after the First Crusade. Godfrey knew he was a descendant of Christ and after he came up to the throne of Jerusalem, he founded a secret organization and set up a military department, administrative and financial departments as well. Meant by this organization is the Knights Templar.

This real organization stationed in Europe almost 200 years and had a hidden role and it is considered the mother of all secret organizations in Europe and North America. There are some organizations that have the same name these days.

The Real Pyramid Builders!

Since longtime, I see the pharaohs as despots with anger faces and whipping slaves in field where building the pyramids and here we got concept that have seen via Hollywood movies which showed the myths about massive numbers of slaves or Jews building the great pyramids.

In fact we have two views in need to discuss. Were they slaves? ... Were they Jews slaves? ...

 The answer for the first prospect is No they were not slaves. Egypt’s chief archaeologist argues. He said Egyptian researchers have found the tombs of more pyramid builders, and in those tombs more evidence that free men erected these monumental tributes to the ancient pharaohs.

“These tombs were built beside the king’s pyramid, which indicates that these people were not by any means slaves…If they were slaves, they would not have been able to build their tombs beside their king’s.” said Dr Zahi Hawass.

There is also evidence that the builders ate a luxurious diet of meat, not the sort of thing slaves would have been fed. Records show that each day 21 buffalo and 23 sheep were sent to the plateau to feed the workers.

Knowledge of the tombs belonging to the builders of the pyramids is not new. Mark Lehner worked for many years at Giza to uncover the tombs of the workers and has documented these tombs in detail.

For the past decade the Giza Mapping Project has been focused on the ‘Lost City’ of the pyramid builders at Giza. The project uncovered evidence indicating that the pyramids were built by skilled workers and not by slaves as suggested by popular Hollywood movies.

From these facts we conclude the following:

-Builders of the pyramids were well paid free men

-Builders of the pyramids they had health care and housing near the construction site

-Inscriptions on the walls of the tombs indicate that they enjoy high spirit in the creation of a national project for the Egyptians.

The answer for the second prospect is No they were not Jews. As it is wide known the pyramids built under the rule of the 4th dynasty of Egypt [2613-2465BCE]. And this does not coincide with the entry of the first person related to the twelve tribes Joseph the son of Jacob to Egypt, while at that time Egypt ruled by the Hyksos's occupation, which was in the period from the 13th to the 17th dynasty which is about 600 years after the pyramids were built.

In fact, one of the biggest gains from the idea of ​​building the pyramids at the time was to create a job chances to the Egyptians*, whom were suffering unemployment and lack of livelihood in the Nile flood season, which was filling farmland with water.

*farming was the main occupation for the Egyptians
