Hi Ron,
It's true that Dan Brown's books are novels, but he goes to great
pains to emphasize that the "historical mysteries" in them are real.
In Europe he's managed to single-handedly create his own class of
threats to cultural heritage: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/09/AR2009090901795.html?sid=ST2009090902584
Thanks to everyone who recommended folks to talk with about
archaeology in D.C.!
