All the Dan Brown's books grabbed me from page 1 and refused to let go until i read the last letter. All of his books has the central idea where the key to our scientific future is hidden in our past. That's what the Smithsonian's in this story actually tried to prove.
I couldn't exactly remember the details of each and every picture. i read it a long tym back and that i couldnt make it online from then..
The lost symbol is one of those books which i longed to read since it's been released. i couldn't get the original copy of it in the 1st release, the craze is so much.Ofcourse...!! It's DAN BROWN'S collection.
but swear me, i actually got involved in this book so much that i started picturising the events going on and it scared me sometime that i couldn't actually continue with my reading. so, presenting with the pictures i actually edited most part of it which got me so scared..here enjoy this collection of my pictures from the story..

Vulcan
Vulcan, god of the forge, stands at his anvil with his foot on a cannon, near a pile of cannon balls and with a steam engine in the background. The man at the forge is thought to represent Charles Thomas, who was in charge of the ironwork of the Capitol dome.
Neptune
Neptune, god of the sea, holding his trident and crowned with seaweed, rides in a shell chariot drawn by sea horses. Venus, goddess of love born from the sea, helps lay the transatlantic cable. In the background is a form of iron-clad ship with smokestacks.
Minerva
Minerva, goddess of wisdom and the arts of civilization, with helmet and spear, points to an electric generator creating power stored in batteries, next to a printing press. Inventors Benjamin Franklin, Samuel F. B. Morse, and Robert Fulton watch. At the left, a teacher demonstrates the use of dividers.
Mercury
Mercury, god of commerce, with his winged cap and sandals and caduceus, hands a bag of gold to Robert Morris, financier of the Revolutionary War. On the left, men move a box on a dolly; on the right, the anchor and sailors lead into the next scene, “Marine.”
Freedom
Armored Freedom, with sword raised and cape flying, tramples Tyranny and Kingly Power. She is assisted by a fierce eagle carrying arrows and a thunderbolt.
Ceres
Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, is shown with a wreath of wheat and a cornucopia, seated on a McCormick reaper. Young America in a liberty cap holds the reins of the horses, while Flora gathers flowers in the foreground.
