Muslims believe (without proof) that the revered “black stone” (Alhajar Al-Aswad) is a special divine meteorite, that pre-dates creation that fell at the foot of Adam and Eve. It is presently embedded in the southeastern corner of the Kaba. Muslims touch and kiss the black stone during Hajj but non-Muslims are strictly forbidden to even touch it.
The stone has been attacked many times and is now composed of several pieces and fragments, bound together by a silver ligature. It is semicircular and measures about ten inches horizontally and twelve inches vertically. Here a woman and her husband touch the stone.
A meteorite fell in the ar-Rub al-Hali desert & left some craters now called the “Wabar craters”. The place has always been known for having similar glass blocks & it was popular with caravan routes, so there were plenty of opportunities to pick up these rocks.
There’s a Middle Eastern legend of the city of Ubar, destroyed from the sky by G-d for its king’s disobedience of a prophet. The city was located in that area & the craters were actually re-discovered by Europeans when they were looking for Ubar. Ubar is our Atlantis of the Middle East.
Is that thing supposed to look like a vagina?
