The DaVinci Code

I haven't watched the movie yet but The History Channel has something called Beyond The Da Vinci Code that aired tonight. I watched this before but this time something caught me off guard. I wasn't paying too much attention last time so I missed out on the discussion about Da Vinci's "Last Supper". The image depicts Jesus having dinner with 12 apostles. That's what we have been told anyway. The show indicates that next to Jesus wasn't actually one of the 12 apostles but a woman, Mary Magdalene. I was like what? Um ya sure. I googled "The Last Supper" and downloaded it opening it up and zooming in. You know what? That is a woman! I am sure there are even more of Da Vinci's secrets in the painting. Why was it passed on through the years that there were 12 apostles, all men, wherein there's a woman seated right next to Jesus? Brings me back to Arsenio Hall's, things that make you go hmm.
