Errors in Da Vinci Code

1. The Dead Sea Scrolls were rediscovered in 1947 by two shepherds, not in the 1950s, as Dan Brown made Teabing say in Page 234.

2. The teasing between Teabing and Langdon about Oxford and Harvard is fake. People joke about Oxford and Cambridge, or Harvard and Yale, but not "swinging" them. :)))

3. Teabing hurt Silas with his crutch: Antony Hopkins in Legend of the Fall. :))

And Teabing has to be Geza Vermes, author of "Jesus the Jew". He was not a British aristocrat, but a Hungarian Jew. Oxford to Oxford.

Robert Langdon needs to be Daniel Frank, Harvard graduate, Oxford Professor, specializing in Medieval Spanish History and Religions, or gosh, he is so EXTREMELY GOODLOOKING. Handsome, yet mingled with heavenly feminine beauty as well. When he blinks, he closes his long eyelashes for just a tad longer than all of us do, and it has so much grace and elegance - he is definitely from another world. :)))

Sophie HAS to be Jodie Foster. With intelligence and determination in her eyes. Don't know enough French actresses to recommend anybody else.

About two thousand years elapsed between the time the scrolls were deposited in the caves of the barren hills surrounding the Dead Sea and their discovery in 1947. The fact that they survived for twenty centuries, that they were found accidentally by Bedouin shepherds, that they are the largest and oldest body of manuscripts relating to the Bible and to the time of Jesus of Nazareth make them a truly remarkable archaeological find.
