I think you have missed this whole discussion which has been going on
for the past 3 years (at least here in the US) since the release of The
Da Vinci Code book--- that LdV was an Illuminati (or something similar)
who worshipped the Sacred Feminine, the "true religion" before the
patriarchal monotheistic Big Three came on the scene... that Jesus has
a literal bloodline of descendants who still exist, and that LdV and
others put code symbols in their art to alert others that they
themselves were adepts (one wonders just who their audience was). The
poster thinks he found another symol that wannabe Illuminati like Dan
Brown somehow missed.
