Character mistake: In Ch 14, Langdon muses on hatha yoga as an ancient Buddhist art. Yoga originated in the Rig Vedas, an ancient Sanskrit text, and predates Buddhism by around 2,000 years.
Factual error: In one of his lectures Robert Langdon tells his students that the Christians got their tradition of communion, eating their god, from the Aztecs. The Aztec civilization dates to the 13th century while the tradition of communion is as old as Christianity itself. And even disregarding when the Aztecs lived, the Europeans had no contact with America until the late 15th century and could thus not have gotten any traditions that way.
