Corrected entry: On the son's 18th birthday, the father talks to him about joining the Masonic Lodge. One cannot join the lodge until you're 21. The father, at his level in the lodge should know this and would not have revealed the pyramid and some secrets to him before the son joined and at the age of 18.
Other mistake: In chapter 5 Peter slaps his face once with the left hand and once with the right. The only problem is he doesn't have a right hand.

Suggested correction: This is false. The first slap was seen through a mirror. So the angle was flipped. But, he indeed hit himself with his same left hand. You can tell because the guy behind him appears over opposite shoulders in both shots, and because the first shot was through a mirror.
No...it's his right hand.
The correction is valid. The first slap is in the mirror. You can tell he slaps himself on the side of his face where his hair is hanging over his eye, which is his left side. When the 2nd slap happens, he slaps the side of his face where his hair is hanging over his eye, which is his left.
Trivia: The name of Langdon's editor, Jonas Faukman, is an anagram of Dan Brown's real life editor, Jason Kaufman.

Correction: This is incorrect. One can join a Lodge under 21 years old if their father is a Mason (making them a 'Lewis' and, by right, having dispensation to join young) or if the they receive special dispensation from the relevant Grand Lodge. I joined at 20 years old while at university and I have initiated many Brothers under 21 into my own Lodge.
