Okay but a Hetalia/Da Vinci Code crossover with aph Prussia as Silas.
"The Gospel of Mary Magdalene is like a hidden cipher, a fragment of truth buried beneath centuries of silence. It paints a picture of a woman who wasn’t just a follower but a leader, entrusted with secrets Jesus shared with no one else. Reading it, you feel the tension—Peter’s jealousy, Andrew’s doubt, and Mary standing firm, recounting visions of the soul’s escape from the chains of this world. It’s a story that upends everything we’ve been told about the early church, hinting at a sacred feminine that was erased to consolidate power. This isn’t just a text; it’s a rebellion against the forces that tried to bury Mary’s legacy. You can almost hear her voice across the ages, demanding we uncover the divine spark she knew was within us all."

— Dan Brown - _Inspired Reflection, in the style of his novelistic approach in The Da Vinci Code.
Does anyone know if there's an "Angels & Demons" (or any of Dan Brown's works) discord server?? Whether it's about the movie version or the book one..
Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) is one of the most intriguing personalities in the history of Western art. Trained in Florence as a painter and sculptor in the workshop of Andrea del Verrocchio (1435–1488), Leonardo is also celebrated for his scientific contributions. His curiosity and insatiable hunger for knowledge never left him. He was constantly observing, experimenting, and inventing, and drawing was, for him, a tool for recording his investigation of nature. Although completed works by Leonardo are few, he left a large body of drawings (almost 2,500) that record his ideas, most still gathered into notebooks. He was principally active in Florence (1472–ca. 1482, 1500–1508) and Milan (ca. 1482–99, 1508–13), but spent the last years of his life in Rome (1513–16) and France (1516/17–1519), where he died. His genius as an artist and inventor continues to inspire artists and scientists alike centuries after his death .
A major Dan Brown appreciation
Dan Brown.
And, his Robert Langdon series.
I remember reading “Digital Fortress" at the lobby of Hotel Ramada from the common bookshelf, barely completing the book in three days while my stay with my family in Shanghai, China. Read the rest of it via a pdf I found online because it just sticks to you. Brown would go with his recipe of conspiring the heck out of the literary world with his work. It's not the first Langdon series book, but it really caught my attention and I wanted to explore more of the series.
Each a separate plot, an individual storyline of its own. I came home and bought "Origin" read it and then purchased "Da Vinci Code" (the actual best), and so on. Still deficit of "Angels and Demons"- which I'll hopefully buy next, and get a hardcopy of "Digital Fortress" and my collection would be complete. The art mentions are major in his works, mentioning real landmarks, real organisations and controversial truths, in the form of a blockbuster mystery high speed pursuit style of the novels. His fascination with the paradoxical interplay between science and religion really makes you think. Raises a lot of questions you didn't bother thinking about before. His play with words show how literature is conceptualized, created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique. All in all, a 10/10 Author for me.
The Holy Grail ‘neath ancient Roslin waits. The blade and chalice guarding o’er Her gates. Adorned in masters’ loving art, She lies. She rests at last beneath the starry skies….
