From the publisher

"If anyone can divine the contents of The Lost Symbol, it's Dan Burstein."

--New York magazine

With Secrets of the Lost Symbol, co-authors Dan Burstein and Arne de Keijzer delve into the real history, science, and hidden meanings behind Dan Brown's latest blockbuster novel, The Lost Symbol. As they have done previously with their extraordinary New York Times bestsellers Secrets of the Code and Secrets of Angels & Demons, Burstein and de Keijzer explore the themes, conspiracies, mythologies, codes, encrypted signs, and alternate histories--from the birth of Knights Templar to the present day--popularized by the acclaimed creator of The Da Vinci Code, giving them fresh and fascinating relevance while separating truth from fantasy.

This definitive companion separates fact from fiction and answers the biggest questions raised in Dan Brown's thriller:

Fact vs. Fiction: Uncover the truth behind the history and science in The Lost Symbol, from the life of Albert Pike to the reality of Noetic Science.
Secret Societies: Go beyond the novel to explore the real rituals, beliefs, and influence of the Freemasons and their connection to groups like the Knights Templar.
Masonic Architecture: Take a guided tour of the nation's capital to see how Masonic philosophy is encoded in the U.S. Capitol, the Washington Monument, and the city's very layout.
The Ancient Mysteries: Investigate the real esoteric traditions and secret knowledge--from alchemy to the Kabbalah--that fascinated thinkers from Isaac Newton to America's Founding Fathers.

Discover the hidden reality behind Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol . . . and America itself.

Dan Burstein and Arne de Keijzer have gathered together world-class authorities--from scientist Richard Dawkins, noetics expert Lynne McTaggart, and religious scholar Karen Armstrong to journalist Jeff Sharlet (author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at theHeart of American Power), mathematician and science historian Amir Aczel, FBI consultant Michael Barkun, 33 Freemason Arturo de Hoyos, and a host of renowned philosophers, symbologists, code breakers, art historians, writers, thinkers, and experts on the occult--to give readers the essential tools to understand the conspiracies, codes, cutting-edge science, cultural controversies, and suppressed history at the center of The Lost Symbol . . . and the very founding of the United States of America.
