Yes
,
but
the
Sangreal
documents
are
only
half
of
the
Holy
Grail
treasure
.
They
are
buried
with
the
Grail
itself
…
and
reveal
its
true
meaning
.
The
documents
gave
the
Knights
Templar
so
much
power
because
the
pages
revealed
the
true
nature
of
the
Grail
.
»
The
true
nature
of
the
Grail
?
Sophie
felt
even
more
lost
now
.
The
Holy
Grail
,
she
had
thought
,
was
the
cup
that
Jesus
drank
from
at
the
Last
Supper
and
with
which
Joseph
of
Arimathea
later
caught
His
blood
at
the
crucifixion
.
«
The
Holy
Grail
is
the
Cup
of
Christ
,
»
she
said
.
«
How
much
simpler
could
it
be
?
»
«
Sophie
,
»
Langdon
whispered
,
leaning
toward
her
now
,
»
according
to
the
Priory
of
Sion
,
the
Holy
Grail
is
not
a
cup
at
all
.
They
claim
the
Grail
legend
–
that
of
a
chalice
–
is
actually
an
ingeniously
conceived
allegory
.
That
is
,
that
the
Grail
story
uses
the
chalice
as
a
metaphor
for
something
else
,
something
far
more
powerful
.

«
Something
that
fits
perfectly
with
everything
your
grandfather
has
been
trying
to
tell
us
tonight
,
including
all
his
symbologic
references
to
the
sacred
feminine
.
»
Still
unsure
,
Sophie
sensed
in
Langdon
’
s
patient
smile
that
he
empathized
with
her
confusion
,
and
yet
his
eyes
remained
earnest
.
«
But
if
the
Holy
Grail
is
not
a
cup
,
»
she
asked
,
»
what
is
it
?
»
Langdon
had
known
this
question
was
coming
,
and
yet
he
still
felt
uncertain
exactly
how
to
tell
her
.
If
he
did
not
present
the
answer
in
the
proper
historical
background
,
Sophie
would
be
left
with
a
vacant
air
of
bewilderment
–
the
exact
expression
Langdon
had
seen
on
his
own
editor
’
s
face
a
few
months
ago
after
Langdon
handed
him
a
draft
of
the
manuscript
he
was
working
on
.
«
This
manuscript
claims
what
?
»
his
editor
had
choked
,
setting
down
his
wineglass
and
staring
across
his
half
-
eaten
power
lunch
.
«
You
can
’
t
be
serious

Prominent
New
York
editor
Jonas
Faukman
tugged
nervously
at
his
goatee
.
Faukman
no
doubt
had
heard
some
wild
book
ideas
in
his
illustrious
career
,
but
this
one
seemed
to
have
left
the
man
flabbergasted
.
«
Robert
,
»
Faukman
finally
said
,
»
don
’
t
get
me
wrong
.
I
love
your
work
,
and
we
’
ve
had
a
great
run
together
.
But
if
I
agree
to
publish
an
idea
like
this
,
I
’
ll
have
people
picketing
outside
my
office
for
months
.
Besides
,
it
will
kill
your
reputation
.
You
’
re
a
Harvard
historian
,
for
God
’
s
sake
,
not
a
pop
schlockmeister
looking
for
a
quick
buck
