Given the popularity of The Da Vinci Code right now, it comes as no surprise to many that some interest is starting to surround a similiar script at the moment. Author Lamar Cook’s Depiction, described as “National Treasure/Indiana Jones/Lara Croft meets biblical epic The Da Vinci Code“, has reportedly got studios fighting it out for the film rights.

Depiction tells the tale of some college students who break a 500-year-old code to find the greatest archeological discovery in history: an actual painting of the image of Jesus.

Apparently, an artist by the name of Ichabed painted the image on the day that Jesus was baptized by John The Baptist. It was hidden inside the Catacombs until found in 1492 by a man who is ultimately put into a mental hospital. But before he leaves the man leaves a coded message in his will.

More on this story as it develops down the line.
