Mecca is nit mentioned in any sources prior to the 7th century. Yet towns to the north like Yathrib (now called Medina) and south were mentioned by the ancients.
Mecca is also off caravan routes.
It most likely never existed before the 500s AD

It is ironic that this pilgrimage to Mecca was to a place that was “as hot as hell.”

I’m thinking The Marshal Islands, Bikini Atoll, Operation Castle Bravo, now that would be some heat!
