		READ the following text.
Robert Langdon: Thank you (to the audience). Thank you (pours a glass of water). Symbols are a language that can help us understand our past. As the saying goes, a picture says a thousand words, but... which words. Interpret for me please, this symbol, first thing that comes to mind, anybody.
Audience members: Hatred... racism... Ku Klux Klan.
Robert Langdon: Yes, yes, interesting, but...they would disagree with you in Spain. There, they are robes worn by priests'. Now, this symbol...anyone?
Audience members: Evil. 'La fourche du Diable'.
Robert Langdon: In English please.
Audience member: Devil's pitchfork.
Robert Langdon: Poor, poor Posiden, that is his trident. A symbol of power to millions of the ancients. Now this symbol...
Audience members: Madonna and child. Faith. Christianity.
Robert Langdon: No, no, it's the pagan god Horus and his mother Isis centuries before the birth of Christ. Understanding our past determines actively our ability to understand the present... so, how do we sift truth from belief? How do we write our own history, personally or culturally, and thereby define ourselves. How do we penetrate years, centuries, of historical distortion, to find original truth. Tonight... this will be our quest.
