I've often wondered if this is the impact swarm (linked below) that produced the meteorite that the crazies worship. I suspect that the asteroid is the 'angel Gabriel.' Also, I believe Abraham had his hands on the Kaaba.
Disaster That Struck The Ancients
This impact site was discovered in the swamps of the Marsh Arabs after Saddam drained them.
Thanks. It is truly fascinating seeing the correlation between catastrophic events and the sudden rise of religious fervor. Also interesting seeing the events shape human history.
