The Sacred City of Mecca: Have We Got It Wrong? | TRACKS
TRACKS ^ | 6-18-19 | TRACKS

Posted on 08/02/2019 11:57:03 AM PDT by fishtank

"The Sacred City presents compelling evidence that suggests the holy city of Mecca is in the wrong location and that the worlds 1.6 billion Muslims are praying in the direction of the wrong city. Compiling evidence from both historic sources and new technologies point to the correct location in this seismic, revelatory new film.

Has anyone in the media ever referenced “The Holy City of Jerusalem”, or “The Holy City of Bethlehem”?

I watched this documentary a month or two ago. The most interesting piece of this is there’s a fair number of Islamic archeologist and scholars who are going through the data and the archeological evidence and also saying the same thing. Everything is adding up to - If we are to be historically accurate, we have Mecca in the wrong spot.

And at what point in history were Muslims forced to abandon Mecca so that such a switch could be a possibility?

They didn’t “abandon Mecca”.

They “adopted Mecca”.....

They were first praying to Petra, but the winning forces in the 2nd Ilsmiac civil war switched the direction to Mecca AFTEr the Kaaba was moved there.

So where is the real location, Piazza San Pietro, Italy?

The Kaaba (the big cubic pile of rocks in the middle of the Grand Mosque) used to have a squat, Buddha-like idol seated atop it. The circling of the Kaaba seven times that goes on as part of "Islamic" ritual is actually quite ancient and points to the worship of a different critter altogether. Also, up until the 19th century or thereabouts, the now-subsumed avenue leading up to the Kaaba was still showing the signs of the line of statues that, uh, lined the avenue. The last of the statues was destroyed less than 200 years ago, if memory serves.
I've yet to view the vid, and I didn't add the GGG keyword, but I'm going to ping this for fun, under the subheading "Oh So Mysteriouso".

Who is the We you speak of here, are inadvertently self identifying?

You have a right to be Muslim, just asking

“We”, as in the archeologists and scholars. Sorry, poor choice of working there.
