What secrets lie at the heart of America?

Discover the hidden reality behind Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol . . . and America itself. Just as there is only one Dan Brown, there is also only one secrets team that has achieved worldwide bestselling success by exposing the truth beneath Brown’s bestselling novels. Dan Burstein and Arne de Keijzer have gathered together world-class authorities—from scientist Richard Dawkins, noetics expert Lynne McTaggart, and religious scholar Karen Armstrong to journalist Jeff Sharlet (author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power), mathematician and science historian Amir Aczel, FBI consultant Michael Barkun, 33° Freemason Arturo de Hoyos, and a host of renowned philosophers, symbologists, code breakers, art historians, writers, thinkers, and experts on the occult—to give readers the essential tools to understand the conspiracies, codes, cutting-edge science, cultural controversies, and suppressed history at the center of The Lost Symbol . . . and the very founding of the United States of America.

Which Founding Fathers were members of secret societies?

What is the true background of the Ancient Mysteries?

Does The Lost Symbol have a hidden religious agenda?

What is the actual role of Freemasons in American history?

What do the hidden codes embedded in the novel tell us?

This was actually more interesting than The Lost Symbol, a little long, but the back story on the art and architecture of Washington DC was good.

Would have been better, however, if the authors hadn't tried to make the obvious dichotomies subtle. The pro/con of noetics would have been more interesting in a panel discussion where they could respond directly to the other's claims. At the least, move the chapters beside each other.

And yes, Dan Brown put hidden codes in his book(s), and not just on the cover and not just what was italicized. But I must admit, however counted the number of times Dan wrote *fill in the blank*, had better have used a computer's search feature.

Amazing. The symbology was fascinating and intriguing. I could not put it down, for almost 2 days. I disagree with the religious overtones that God is not a body, but deep and profoundly provocative.

I found this interesting enough, but i felt like i was just reading the book again without the intense storyline. So, while certainly filled with lots of interesting information, it just didn't appeal to me.

Some interesting essays from scholars of freemasonry. Was interesting to read after reading The Lost Symbol. I didn't agree with all their thoughts, but it was still good.

This is a very interesting book but since it is "History" and clarifications of Dan Brown's FICTION... it can be a bit "dry" at times!

Even if you don't like Dan Brown, this has lots of interesting historical facts about the people and buildings that made Washington our nations Capitol.
