This is not correct the priory of sion existed way before Pierre Plantard took the story and ran with it. The original priory of Sion had nothing to do with the grail and all that rubbish but it most definitely existed before Plantsrd and died out before him also. Did you bother reading the article that was linked? The Priory of Sion was created by Plantard and several others in 1956, it never existed prior to that. The name come from a hill nearby Annemasse, where the Priory was founded, that was called Mount Sion. Plantard had no story to run with as there never was one, the Documents in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the only references to the Priory ever existing pervious to 1956 are admited fakes, forged by Philippe de Cherisey, that were then planted by Plantard's assistants. What evidence do you have that there was any such things as the Priory of Sion pre-Plantard?

Now this is strange also because Richard Leigh in a history Chanel program admits Holy blood holy grail is a work of fiction. The program is called the real Da Vinci Code. Are you sure that you are remembering correctly? If he did, then why would he have mantained that it was non-fiction in his case against Dan Brown, a case that was lost with the Judge basically stating, among other things, that since they (the authors) maintained that the work was based on facts and was non-fiction, that Brown was quite entitled to use it as a reference for his fictional book without breaching copyright.

Now, The DaVinci Code claims to be fiction. However, it also claims that all the secret societies, etc., are real.

I just thought of a great conspiracy theory. Dan Brown gets the catholic church to make a big fuss about his book so that he makes uber tons of money, kicking back a percentage to help them pay for the legal costs from the molestation cases.
