There have been about 10 books published since the DaVinci Code came out, "proving" that the DaVinci Code is pure fiction, fun speculation....that Jesus WAS NOT MARRIED, did NOT have sex with that woman....etc...etc....

Ying and yang. Before the DaVinci Code there were 20 or 30 books saying Jesus was married, etc.
Consipriacy nut, I am not. But to think secret society's might not exist seems foolish. (Btw, Sue, not debating you here, just your post got me thinking out loud it all.)
I do have to say there's too much there (historical not ficition) to ignore certain things. That the head of the First Crusade: traces his lineage to King David (through Jesus apparently), was placed in charge of Jerusalem (as "King" a title he wouldn't accept, but the power he did), that the Crusade occured after he conferred with the Pope, he happens to bring (or create) the first Knight Templars with him, happens to have them live secluded in a special place (where they could dig) when there was the entire Temple complex they could have used, happens to be the first head of the Privacy of Scion ... that is just one example of things that make one go hmmm.
Too many things like that which on their own make you wonder. Then each of those have tangible links to the next. For instance the Saint Claire / Sinclair guy who in 1390 not only controled that special French chapel and all the lands about it, but who also crossed to America (Rhode Island) and lived there for three years (a full century before Columbus). And who just happens to be another head of the Privacy of Scion AND a decendent of that same First Crusade guy. (Which according to legend makes him also a decendent of Jesus and David). Hmmm.
