Zukerman said Langdon's understanding of the evolution of symbols will apply to the Freemason symbols he discovers. Langdon shows his class how the swastika began as a Sanskrit symbol before it was the Nazi emblem. When The Lost Symbol begins, Langdon is presenting a lecture about the origin of symbols such as the swastika and Unite or Die. "But I do need that confidence to be able to know that much or that feeling to know more than the person you're talking to."
"I obviously don't know as much as does," Zukerman said. Because the clues of The Lost Symbol revolve around the Freemasons, he drew upon books like A Brief History of Secret Societies by David Barrett and Tales from Ovid by Ted Hughes.
Zukerman said each script motivates him to research the subjects Langdon is discussing. Those partners include Solomon's daughter, Katherine (Valorie Curry). Zukerman said the story of The Lost Symbol, first published in 2009, establishes "little details about his rigidity, about his hubris, his arrogance, his inability to feel, his attachment to knowledge and to facts."Įach episode of The Lost Symbol finds Langdon explaining history to partners in his quest. "We're just very lucky that it hadn't been made into a film because it's so perfect as an origin story," Zukerman said. Langdon visits Washington, D.C., to find clues in Freemason artifacts when his mentor, Peter Solomon (Eddie Izzard), is kidnapped. Zukerman said The Lost Symbol series gives him a chance to show how Langdon got involved in solving historical clues.
