Here's a breakdown of the key "codes" Langdon unravels:
* The Mona Lisa's smile: Langdon uses the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio to decipher a message hidden in Da Vinci's masterpiece.
* The cryptic message on the victim: The victim's body bears symbols associated with the Priory, which Langdon identifies through his knowledge of art and history.
* The Louvre museum's architecture: The layout of the museum itself, with its hidden passages and symbolic art, plays a crucial role in guiding Langdon to the next clue.
* The cryptex: This ancient device holds the key to unlocking a hidden vault and a crucial piece of information about the Priory's secrets.
While these "codes" aren't traditional cryptographic puzzles, they involve a combination of historical knowledge, artistic understanding, and logical deduction.
