The Treasure of Nag Hammadi- which included the Gospels of Philip and Thomas, as well as some writings by Mary Magdalene- was found in Egypt in 1945. According to U.S. News' Secrets of the Da Vinci Code, in the Gospel of Philip he refers to Mary Magdalene as Jesus's companion- which would best be translated as his "partner" or his "consort"- a woman with whom a man has had sexual intercourse. Also in the same gospel, Philip says, "But Christ loved her more than all the disciples and used to kiss her often on the mouth. The rest of the disciples were offended by it and expressed disapproval. They said to him, "Why do you love her more than all of us?" If this was the case, it is assumed that Jesus would have to be married to Mary Magdalene. Though The Last Supper was painted hundreds of years before the Treasure of the Nag Hammadi was found, Dan Brown believes Da Vinci already knew of the marriage- and painted Mary Magdalene next to Jesus in The Last Supper. Brown points out that the person next to Jesus is very effeminate, and looks much more like a woman than a man. He also points out that if you trace the bodies of Jesus and the person to his right, they form an M- which could, of course, be a sneaky way of giving us hints that this person is, in fact, Mary Magdalene. Devout Catholics, of course dispute this- they point out that many of the men Da Vinci painted were effeminate, including other depictions of John. Some say that they don't see the M in the outlines of Jesus and the person to his right. Others admit they can see it, but feel that it doesn't imply anything.
