it's all crap, it wasn't plagiarism at all. a couple guys back in the 80s wrote a book about Jesus, Mary Magedelene, and the Holy bloodline, just as Dan Brown did. however, Brown wrote an entirely different story just using the same premise. honestly, i think it's like Star Trek suing Star Wars.

Good ol’ Dan Brown. He makes a ton of money rewriting the same book over and over.
