Section Fourty-Three

gLangdon's progress in his search had been somewhat at a halt because of the guide who would not stop talking. Suddenly, Vittoria was behind him tugging at his shirt. She demanded to see the Diagramma, and searched for the date which it was published. As she deciphered the Roman numerals she discovered that it was published in 1639. At finding this out she knew that they were in trouble, the dates didn't match. She told Langdon that Raphael was not buried at the Pantheon until 1759. They were in the wrong place.

At this they asked for the guide's help, as he was still hovering around them trying to figure out what was going on. They asked where Santi's original tomb could be, and after much thought they realized that it was not his tomb that they were looking for, but rather, one that he had designed. After much thought and debate, and with much of the guide's help, they had figured out what the part in the clue about the demon's hole meant. It was referring to an ossuary annex, which was a large whole under the chapel near a family tomb where they buried the "less worthy" family members when they did not have room for them in the family tomb. Langdon asked the guide if he knew of any tombs designed by Raphael with one of these "demon holes." The guide replied with, "Actually. I'm sorry... I can only think of one." At this, Vittoria was so excited, she shouted out where! The fact that the guide could only think of one tomb was perfect. The guide told them the name of the tomb was, the "Chigi Chapel." It was the tomb of Agostino Chigi and his brothers, wealthy men who supported the arts and sciences. Langdon and Vittoria asked where it was located, and were just about to be on their way when they were stopped one last time by the guide. He told them that the Chigi Chapel had not always been called this, and that it used to be known as Capella della Tera, which meant Chapel of the Earth. This fit perfectly with the part in the clue about Santi's earthly tomb.

After finding this out they ran out of the building. Vittoria called Olivetti immediately and said that they had to move, that they were at the wrong location. They ran out to a line of taxi's and were on their way to the new, correct location with only minutes to spare.
