The Da Vinci Code
Published July 30th, 2005 in Fiction. Tags: dan brown, da vinci code, history, louvre.This is what I had written to my friends after finishing reading The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.
“Just finished reading DVC. This book is amazing. Based on facts. The best part is that I learnt so much. Came across the word hermaphrodite so many times in biology but never knew how it came; why the Olympics are held every 4 years and also the reason behind its symbol…and other such facts. But the Divine Number PHI is simply mind-boggling. And all that holy grail funda — mind-blowin and worth knowing. And believe me, Leonardo Da Vinci was my hero ever since I read about him in history in class 7–renaissance period. He was a versatile genius– architect, musician, anatomist, inventor, engineer, sculptor, geometer, and painter. So nothing could equal my pleasure when I got a book in hand that champions Da Vinci’s brilliance. Superb story telling and great suspense. Louvre Museum now tops the chart of places I plan 2 visit in future (i.e. after I finish my studies & amass enuf money by means of a good job ).”

I came across your website searching for info on hermaphrodites, which I am one. I had read The Da Vinci Code. In it, Brown writes Da Vinci was obsessed with hermaphrodites. I am trying to find any other references to Da Vinci’s painting of hermaphrodites, a source I can quote to my mother, who thinks only gays think Da Vinci had such an obsession.
