As Above, So Below

Factual error: Scarlett and George use the Rose Key to translate the inscription on the back of Flamel's ancient tombstone, and it translates into a rhyming English lyric puzzle. Problem is, they are translating this lyric puzzle from Aramaic (an ancient and virtually dead Middle Eastern language) to modern English. Aramaic would not and could not translate into rhyming modern English.

Charles Austin Miller

Scarlett: As above, so below. As I believe the world to be, so it is.

George: 'Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.'.
Scarlett: Oh.
Papillon: What?
Scarlett: According to mythology, that's the inscription over the gates of hell.
Papillon: What? I'm... I'm not going in there.
