At the start of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, a museum curator, Jacques Saunire, lies dead in the Louvre, Paris. His corpse is spread-eagled like Leonardo DaVinci’s Vitruvian Man and in Saunire’s own blood there is scrawled a pentacle and a Fibonacci sequence. It turns out the Fibonacci sequence, a series of numbers formed by adding the sum of the previous two numbers (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, etc) is key to finding the hidden meaning in DaVinci’s paintings and cracking the code.
