IWashington ilindele ukutyelelwa ngabalandeli bomdlalo omtsha kaDan Brown, "Uphawu olulahlekileyo."
Abalandeli bombhali wencwadi “yeDa Vinci Code” bathontelana ukuya eLouvre eParis nakwezinye iisayithi zaseYurophu eziboniswe kule ncwadi. Enye icawa yaseSkotlani, iRosslyn Chapel, yabona ulwando oluphindwe kathathu lwabatyeleli emva kokuba le ncwadi iye yathengiswa kakhulu kunye nefilimu.
I-Destination DC iye yaphehlelela iphepha leWebhu ku-http://www.Washington.org/lostsymbol ukunceda abafundi baphonononge ezinye zeendawo kunye nemixholo ekulindeleke ukuba bafumane ingqalelo “kuPhawu olulahlekileyo.”
I-arhente yezokhenketho yaseWashington yaphehlelela iphepha leWebhu ngaphambi kokuba le ncwadi ikhutshwe ngoLwesibini, isebenzisa iindawo ezazichazwe kwangaphambili kupapasho lwenoveli. Isakhiwo seCapitol sibonakaliswe kuqweqwe lwencwadi, kwaye iGadi yeBhotani yase-US ekufuphi yachazwa kuMboniso kaNamhla umkhondo malunga nale noveli.
Iyelenqe lenoveli alizange lityhilwe ngaphambi kokupapashwa, kodwa ibali kukholelwa ukuba limalunga neFreemasons, umbutho wabazalwana osele uneminyaka eyinkulungwane. Ezinye iisayithi eziboniswe kwiphepha leWebhu leWashington “Lost Symbol” libandakanya itempile yamatye yasekuqaleni yenkulungwane yama-20 kwikona ye-16th kunye nezitrato ze-S, kunye neGeorge Washington Masonic National Memorial e-Alexandria, eVa.
