The Mysteries Of Islam's Most Sacred Site | Absolute History

- 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. In this startling and original documentary, writer and historian, Dan Gibson, shows that descriptions of Mohamed’s original holy city - as detailed in the Qur’an and Islamic histories, do not match that of the Mecca we know today. If true this could shake Islam to it’s roots, because every Muslim is required to pray towards the ‘forbidden gathering place’.
If Dan Gibson is right, Muslims are praying in the wrong direction. In the film ‘The Sacred City’ we set out his evidence from within Islamic and ancient histories - while also using modern technologies - to track down the biggest secret of the last fifteen hundred years. Gibson not only finds the location of the original Mecca but also provides a convincing argument as to how such a great misunderstanding in Islamic history came about.
While clearly controversial, The Sacred City is respectful of Islam’s prophet, and does not dispute the events of the Qur’an; but shows how a deliberate attempt was made to hide from Islam, secrets that impact every Muslim today. The evidence is compelling and fascinating. In a time when the world agenda is being set by Islam, it is more important than ever for the origins and history of this world religion to be examined afresh. This is an important documentary with world-wide appeal for both religious and secular audiences. Beautifully filmed in the ruins and deserts of the middle east, the film is a detective story that investigates the dawn of Islam and will become the most talked about film for years to come.

If the mosques faced Petra , the main city of Edom. It would make sense .
Esau (Edom) married the daughter of Ishmael. The tabernacles of Edom .
Ishmael was given a Egyptian to wife by Hagar his mother .
Hagar was the Egyptian handsmaid of Saria called Sarah after she gave Hagar to Abram to wife .
Now read Psalms 83.

Every time I hear about books being destroyed in the past, it breaks my heart. So much knowledge gone forever.
Yes it really shows who the really ignorant are.. pathetic cancel culture mentality. Ironically RCC Muslim Nazi CCP.. what do they have in common.

There’s a reason
You should look into what books the national socialists burned. There was no knowledge in them, only filth
I also wonder what knowledge was lost, especially in the destruction of the library of alexandria by the christans
Whether you are a Muslim or not, I think this scholarly research should be fascinating to anyone interested in history.
The facts.
I wonder want Dan Gibson AGENDER is??? He should also do some research on those CAUCASIAN Jewish people Wailing Wall, that they pray to.
Agreed . I’m not religious. But I love learning cultures , races , religions and all around history of humanity .
History is HIS STORY.
And this is exactly what this man's hypothesis is. HIS STORY.
Raised Christian, I must learn the truth of the Jewish and Muslim, Islam faiths. Petra is beautiful and must be protected. I understand if faith groups would take the interest off true points, they were protecting their sacred places.
I absolutely love history. I'm a Christian. In order to understand the present you have to understand the past. Something that kids are sadly not taught.
True. Something that world leaders in power aren't reminded of😂
You love something what your god hate , really interesting
there is nothing to hide dear the the tombe of muhamed still existed until now he was buried on the place where its dead on his house on el medina with his wife aicha and abu bakr and omar ibn khatab
@@isaczelda3066 the first 15 minutes of video are the initial question you should answer or you dummy god must appear somewhere and tell. why there are no ancient ruins, city found while digging for construction in mecca. why there has no record of a big city called mecca with trees, water and details which are mentioned in holy text of quran only. the world historians are questioning quran, the prophet, the city. THE BOOK, THE MAN, THE PLACE.
@@isaczelda3066
Weird? Seems like I’ve heard that Quran says he went to Jerusalem, and ascended to heaven from there.
As someone who has ghost-written several books about the early history of Islam, this is actually a very well researched and thoughtful documentary. All too often you see widely popular theories about Islam by people who don't know even the most basic facts about Islam, Islamic history, Mohammad, or the Arabic language and those are extremely frustrating. Dan Gibson does actually know what he's talking about. Whether you agree or disagree with his conclusions about Islam it's obvious to me--as someone who has studied and written extensively on the topic--that he does know the subject matter and cares about it.

Even as a non-Muslim, a Christian, I am appalled by the burning of so many books. It seems to me to be a terrible act of vandalism and a complete destruction of many, many historical texts. How our modern historians would have loved to have pored over so many pieces of historical writings! To say it took many months to burn all those books shows that an absolutely enormous amount of irreplaceable historical texts, of immense importance, were burned - for fuel! All the work of the scribes, the many years it would have taken them to painstakingly write out those texts, which must have been precious to them - just gone up in smoke! This is truly very sad.
Check out the B Nag Hanmadi Library online especially The Gospel of Thomas Took many me many years to understand Jesus sayings LEFT OUT IN 325 AD.
This books and papyrus and manuscripts in Egypt…man what a disaster…they say there was all the history and science of the old world.I really share a tear for that.
the Vatican and the christians did exactly the same- burning and hiding ancient books to tell "their" story.
It also saddens me as well. There are so many mysteries throughout history that I wish to know about its origins.
Not sad, barbaric and incredibly ignorant.

An amazing documentary. I am so grateful that there are people who dedicate their lives to unraveling such unanswered mysteries. It makes me realize that all throughout history there are those forces that try to rewrite history to inforce their agenda as well as those forces that work to uncover the truth.
I can guarantee that Dan Gibson will NEVER ever do any research on the Wailing Wall or who is the original people of Jerusalem?
@georgepapsukkal4392 Really!?! A thoughtful deep dive into the importance of Mecca, or more than likely Petra, seems to offend you. I thought it was a brilliant documentary regarding Islamic History, pure and simple. Why do you have to give it a political twist? I thought it was a brilliant breakdown on Petra being the true Islamic Mecca. It has nothing to do with the current state of political upheaval. Please, appreciate Mr. Gibson's hard work for what it is - a brilliant, thoughtful, well-explained, mind provoking possibilty of the original holy Islamic city - nothing more, nothing less. Have you viewed or traveled to the City of Petra? It is magnificent. For myself, as an Anthropologist (I drop all political ideas/thoughts), and simply appreciate the history and culture of an ancient, and most beautiful, city.
@@lindsayschilling8707 Highly decorated leading historian David A. King called David Gibson finding gibberish, and wrote Gibson is INADEDUATE to grasp mathematic.
I honestly believe you have deliberately missunderstood me, I said nothing about today politics, I couldn't careless about any MUMBO JUMBO religions. I must of hit a raw nerve when I mention the original inhabitants of Israel. If you want to the the truth, neither of them who are fighting each other today are the original inhabitant of the land of Israel and it also seemed to me you have no care about hurting Muslims feeling. Can you imagine the uproar if anybody did a documentary about Jewish people WAILING to the wrong wall, they would be CRUCIFIED and called holocaust denial and anti-Semite. The original Wall was destroyed by your ancestors the Romans in 70 AD, the inhabitants then fled into Africa, and were captured by the Africans and then sold to the Europeans and Arabs, this was the start of the transatlantic slave trade. Not the English or America can put the original people back in Israel, ONLY almighty God can. The Holy Bible Jeremiah 30:3

@@georgepapsukkal4392That might have something to do with the fact that there have already been many people who have studied and researched that area. The history of that area is, in fact, possibly the most studied region in the world. There’s already supporting archaeology and has been for for many years. You obviously just have an ace to grind that has nothing to do with historical fact.
The narrative about the history of the Ka'bah and Islam is fastinàting and educative. The research has not only developed a new perspective, it has questioned the very foundation of Islam.
Not really. Historians are notoriously known for dogmatism and assumptions. See Clovis First and you'd understand. I'm going to keep watching and questioning but I'm highly skeptical of this because the narration chains in Islam are second to non. See Marijn van Putten, a person given two million euros grant regarding studying Qur'an and he came to the same conclusions about Islam as we're taught in mosques.
The meaning of haram is sacred in Arabic language Not forbidden
The internet has shown Islam is false, as a former Muslim it was hard to see the truth, but it’s very important.

@@dionnedonelson413 LMAO yes you are. I've seen Muslim tourists in Europe and in Indonesia. The Indonesians say they always recognize a Muslim tourist by his conspicuous displays of flashy wealth, tipping Indonesian service staff very highly in a way where everyone around can see his money, and then being racist toward the local Indonesian staff.
If you Muslims want to set yourselves apart as the True Religion to Help Humanity, please don't go down the Judaic/Christian path of insisting Muslims are all pure, simple people who are "persecuted" by the Big Bad World for daring to be Righteous. You're adding NOTHING new to the equation
I would love for Islam to keep growing and I would support you to kick Christianity off its stolen throne, but if you guys are just gonna pull that same old "no one has suffered for their Righteousness as much as we have" crap that Christians and Jews have pulled on us already, count me out.
There are few flaws for this theory. First thing is Cave of Hira location where Muhammad SAW first met Jibril. And second is how the hell did they miss Zam zam well? Also what is this black rock? Do you mean Hajr Aswad? If that is the black rock, we don't pray at it. Ka'abah is just a direction we have to pray towards. If these simple things you can miss, please don't call yourself some 'hIsToRiAn'

The Black Rock was said to have fallen from heaven and the patriarch of the Jews, Abraham placed it in the Kaaba. I don't believe what this man is saying is that Muslims pray to the Rock but they felt that rock was special. I'm not Muslim I am just interested in the world's religions and history. It seems to me that this man knows exactly what he's talking about and can place what he says in historical terms

Extremely sad ? Why

This theory was proposed by Dan Gibson, a Canadian amateur archaeologist, who claimed that early mosques face the modern direction of Petra rather than the modern direction of Mecca⁴. He based his argument on his own measurements of mosque orientations and his interpretation of historical sources.
However, his theory has been challenged and refuted by many scholars who have expertise in Islamic history, astronomy, geography, and architecture. Some of these scholars are:
- David A. King, a professor of the history of science at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt. He wrote a book called "The Petra Fallacy: Early Mosques do face the Sacred Kaaba in Mecca but Dan Gibson doesn't know how"¹², where he exposed the flaws and fallacies in Gibson's methodology and conclusions. He showed that Gibson ignored the historical and astronomical evidence that Muslims used different methods to determine the qibla (the sacred direction toward the Kaaba in Mecca) in different times and places, and that Gibson compared historical mosque orientations with modern directions of Petra and Mecca, which are not the same due to the curvature of the earth and the precession of the equinoxes. He also provided a comprehensive bibliography of works on historical qibla determinations by Muslim and Western scholars.
- Patricia Crone, a historian of early Islam who taught at Princeton University. She cast doubt on the claim that Mecca was a major historical trading outpost, which was one of the premises of Gibson's theory³. However, she did not deny the existence or importance of Mecca as the birthplace of Islam and the location of the Kaaba. She also later on disregarded some of her theories and acknowledged that there was evidence for Mecca's role in the pre-Islamic and early Islamic periods.
- Glen Bowersock, a professor emeritus of ancient history at Princeton University. He disagreed with Crone and asserted that Mecca was indeed a significant trading center in the Arabian Peninsula, and that there was archaeological and epigraphic evidence for its involvement in the spice trade and the pilgrimage to the Kaaba³. He also criticized Gibson's theory as a "fantasy" and a "conspiracy theory" that lacked any historical or scientific basis.

We learn at school, twice a year, Sun will align directly above the kaabah known as Istiwa' A'dzam.

This is not my faith but I love history. Thank you for the knowledge
Winners write history, always.
No they don't. The history of the bronze age is fragmented, often second hand and in more-cases-than-not, undocumented. The bronze age collapsed, taking many great kingdoms with it and very few records of this great defeat remain, save for some references to people of the sea. The iron and classical ages were documented by Greeks, Romans, Jews, Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians and Phoenicians at various stages, where they were often victims of invasion. In modern history comparative literature informs us that satire and critical literature was a feature of the renaissance and of the enlightenment. In the 20th century, cartoons, news reports, current affairs, film, art and propaganda all inform our modern understanding of history.
@Hamza ForChrist evidence? First place for worshiping of God “”Mecca “”was built by Ibrahim and his son ismaiel long before Jews temple and Ibrahim went for pilgrimage in Mecca as per the Bible 🤩 God blessed the Ismaiel in bible hence God had a plan for this place long before Judaism 🤓 it wasn’t Prophet Muhammad who changed the direction but ordained by Allah the all might during the salah - I’m done ✅ ✌️💪

Who TF conclude that we're praying towards the rock? we're NOT facing the rock but the whole building of Ka'bah
and remember we're just facing, not praying to
I’m a learner of all, so to when a new Muslim converts, what is said to him when asked why this is such a young religion since the Quran was “given” in 632 A.D.?
Am I mislead...
Personally for me, even if you cant face the kaabah, it doesnt mean u cant speak to allah. Kaabah isnt a telco tower
say what you want. The fact that Muhammad made all of you face that rock can't be denied. Why would he just keep that rock while destroying everything else? He knew something that you all don't.
Indeed. The rock is the fallen STAR (meteorite) STAR roots the words ISHTAR, ESTHER, ASHTAROTH, عشتروت, EASTER (East Star, Venus) all goddesses of fertility. See STARbuck coffee logo). The silver frame around the rock is a silver vagina giving birth to the fallen (black rock)Star. Light, being non-material, is converted to material rock. This represents the scientifically accepted state of duality of light. In essence the transmutation of light to them three dimensional material of our world. All matter is originally light (atoms are formed in stars). That entire concept of the sacred feminine worship still present in Christian Easter and the “Virgin” Mary (Mother, Mater, Mare or Ocean). The Kaaba is covered with a new black hijab every year, similarly to the ancient tradition kept by the women of that region wearing black hijabs since pre-Islam as an homage to the sacred feminine religion. Women were considered sacred. The Kaaba was previously dedicated the the sacred feminin goddesses Ilat. Mohammed simply appropriated that building for Islam as is the cases of all religions incorporating previous religions in their customs. Unfortunately Muslims onlynsty what is inside the book as they have been brainwashed to do so since childhood. This removes critical thinking which would challenge the status quo and endanger the controllers. Unlike in the past, people are more educated today and can think for themselves. Think, think, think and the truth shall be revealed to you.
If you face it, wether a building, a rock or any other inanimate object, you worship it weather you are told so or not. You have been well trained not to question things.
The truth of the Kaaba runs very deep into the worship of the sacred feminine. The giver of our birth into this world.
The rock is the symbol of the fallen STAR because it is a meteorite. When those rock came down through the atmosphere they shone like stars and to the uneducated of that time this was a miraculous event worthy of reverence and remembrance. The word STAR roots the words ISHTAR, ESTHER, ASHTAROTH, عشتروت, EASTER = East Star, AKA Venus. All are goddesses of fertility. See STARbuck coffee logo, it is the logo of the same sacred feminine going back to Mesopotamia and the entire Fertile Crescent region and Arab peninsula. The silver frame around the rock on the corner of the black cube is a silver vulva giving birth to the fallen star/black rock. Star light, being non-material, is converted to material rock. This represents the scientifically accepted state of duality of light. In essence the transmutation of the non-material light to the three dimensional material that forms our world. All matter is born from light (atoms are formed in stars). We all come to this world through the sacred feminine portal of our mothers. We are transformed for a non material soul to a material person during that transit. That entire concept of the sacred feminine worship is still present in the Christian celebration of the fertility of Easter and the “Virgin” Mary (Mother, Mater, Mare or Ocean). The Kaaba which represent the sacred feminine goddess Ilat is covered with a new black hijab every year, similarly to the ancient tradition kept by the women of that region until today which wear black hijabs (why chose black in the heat of the desert?) since pre-Islam as an homage to the sacred feminine religion. Women were considered sacred in that pre-Islamic time and had more power that Arab women today. Khadijah was a wealthy business woman.
Mohammed simply appropriated the feminine Kaaba for his new Islamic system. This type of appropriation of previous customs is done in all religions so as not to upset those of the previous belief as they are slowly brainwashed into the new system within 2 generations typically. Unfortunately Muslims only study what is inside the book as they have been ordered to do so since childhood and not look beyond it. This habit of not questioning the book for fear of ridicule is passed on from generation to generation and society itself maintains that continuity bye each individual making the other abide by it lest they become shunned. It effectively removes critical thinking which would challenge the status quo and endanger the nation which derives its power from a unified people of same belief system. Unlike in the past, people are now more educated and can think for themselves and figure things out. Question everything that is taught to you especially if others tell you that it is haram. That is why God gave you life. Those who forbid you don’t really know why the do so, they just repeat “haram” as their parents did before them. They just blindly follow what they have been told without question.
Great job, Mr. Gibson! 👍 amazing discovery! God bless you for your work!

Maybe it will help with the preservation of Petra as a holy site if they agree it is true. Maybe it would also help with any restoration efforts as well.
First thing we have to do is ban non Muslims from entering Petra. They're not allowed in Mecca and shouldn't be allowed in Petra either. I hope king Abdullah will watch this and immediately ban all non Muslims from entering our holy city.
Outstanding! I knew that the ancient City of Petra was far more important than most scholars would admit, or at least it warranted a deep dive investigation. I have always believed Petra is/was an incredibly important site for the Islamic Culture. You, Dan Gibson, have confirmed my long held belief that Petra is a very holy site (and still is) in Islamic History. Many thanks for your dedication and hard work. As a student of Anthropolgy, Fine Art, Geographical Information Systems and Geology, I was seriously struck with your findings. I've always been fascinated with Petra (I hope to see it someday); everytime I view the magnificent City, I have an overwhelming feeling that it is a site of massive importance. Many, many thanks. From, Sacramento, California.
I'm a devout Muslim and believe that indeed Petra is the true City of God. In that case, we must immediately ban foreigners from entering the holy city. In Mecca, non Muslims are not allowed to enter so this rule must immediately be put in place in Petra. I hope King Abdullah of Jordan will do so immediately.

The video suggest we all muslim to research, study and show more fact in form of evidence rather than just telling story that easily could be another lie or false statement make by the elders or powerfull person. This video should encourage we, the muslim to study more and tell them the story with fact and studies, not just a word, speeches or writing form that easily make the muslim argue to each other and confiusing. We should change our ways to tell the people about the truth in islam more effective ways with fact and proves that will bring a big impact that no one can argue. Surely this video is a theory, but just look how some of the muslim react on this video. How big the effort it take to makes muslim unite into one if there is certain arguement which is not base on fact that all muslim will accept. If there is a strong prove or evidence we show, there is no arguement needed. Read, study, examinate the fact and prove it in more effective ways are needed to prevent any doubt in many claims we makes. Its hard, but surely someone should do that and spread the truth or the claims we make with fact and proves. Thats it for now. Sorry if there is any mistake from this comment, and also for my bad english. Im just taking the good moral value from the video, not to argue to anyone about anythings. Maybe im not the only person that want a clear explaination about certain things. The ways of we, the muslim telling, preaching or teaching need to be change to the better ways that more effective according to the new generation of thinking that have different mentality. Tq for reading, be good person and have a nice days everyone.
The Quran says the Earth is flat, that's also why they tell you to face the Kaaba. You can only face the Kaaba if you can see it, from any other location in the world it's impossible to face the Kaaba because the Earth is round.

Does zam2 well is still exist and can supply infinite water? My friend said that the zam2 water that is sold in plastic containers are water mixed with a little bit of zam2 water and they sell it with high price...is it true?
The original Zamzam well was in Jerusalem, then another one in Petra.
So, easy to make another fake well.
No pal, u are ignorant.
It is in paran desert, in Sinai peninsula. 😂
Don't twist history and geography.
Surely it's more important that all Muslims are facing the same way, since they don't pray for the Kaba, they pray for God. The direction is to unite. Also, if it's the wrong place why are the other holy sites (like the well and the mountains) all in the vicinity?
J Boomhauer Wells and mountains aren’t very rare, but at this point I doubt anyone would change their religious habits
This is a baseless BS show.
The place had and had constant living population. It had never been destroyed or depopulated to be lost. Quite opposite as every year since the time of prophete people go there to do the special rituals. So how could they had lost their most important part of the world.

Dear sir, we muslims are teached, how to find the kibla the direction for prayers.
It Is very simple that's by looking at the our shadow with the sun only.
Early morning from 6.00am to 12.00 noon we have to face alone the direction of our shadow.
And after 12.00 noon till night ,we have face opposite to the direction of our shadow.
This shadow of ours should be only with the help of the sun.
Which gives only one direction.
Due to time passes or earthquakes if the direction changes.
this is the only way to identify the true direction.
If iam wrong pls correct me.thank you❤

The "ka'ba" is the stone head of an Aphrodite statue. Aphrodite is directly translated as "morning star" which is the same name used for the fallen angel. That's what they worship there.
Your false prophet had a dream--- and you believed him without any witnesses.
"I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed!, I have dreamed! How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams" (Jeremiah 23)
Why did you follow that false prophet into the desert?
"So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination of desolation,’ described by the prophet Daniel then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains....For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible. See, I have told you in advance...So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the desert,’ do not go out" (Matthew 24)
Why did these Muslims built their unholy Dome of the Rock directly on top of the altar in Jerusalem?

Why do you follow a murderer and a liar who promised you sex orgies in heaven?
"Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not." (John 8)
Hegra (Ancient Greek: Ἔγρα), also known as Mada’in Salih (Arabic: مَدَائِن صَالِح, romanized: madāʼin Ṣāliḥ, lit. 'Cities of Salih'), or Al-Ḥijr (ٱلْحِجْر) is located between Petra and Mecca, now in the territory of Saudi Arabia. The city of Hegra is usually called as second Petra because of its similar architecture style. Hegra is the southernmost and largest settlement of the Nabatean kingdom after Petra (its capital, modern-day Jordan), sometimes called as Nabatean's capital city for the souther region of the kingdom.
Saturn is 7th Planet and 7th day which is Saturday, thats why they are spinning around the kaaba 7 times, I know about this from ancient vedic astrology called navagraha, the deity of saturn is shani which islam called him as allah, yes worshipping saturn is neutral (we worship them in hinduism also), but the abraham reLIEgion is not the good things.

Islam the biggest destroyer of books in history
the 6 is the number of deception of incomplete of hacking, the number of the the enemy to counterfeit the Trinity God; worshipping planets, objects and perishables is pagan, demonic in disguise, Rome deceived the descendants of Abraham isaac and Jacob in the whole world under false religions and new age sharing same symbolism and absence of Jesus Christ as our redeemer.
They hacked the sabbath 7 to worship on Sunday, hacked as well the rainbow symbol of God of his promise with 6 colors instead of 7. Sun and crescent moon the so called planets are luminaries, all recurring symbolism. They hacked the language the scripts the land the genders and our blood is next in order to reconstruct the totality of the tower of babel at ground level and counterfeit eternal life in spirit for eternal life on earth under trans humanism in the fallen place, using humans as carcasses for the disembodied fallen ones conquering humans by parasitism.

This is what we are not accustomed to from the so-called (scientists). This documentary is not a scientific discovery, but rather an intelligence service that plays on the convictions and constants of the people who are farthest from this region. Since you asked about our feelings, they are full of sadness for people who only cared about trying to show something that is considered self-evident to us as Muslims and among the things Installed..!
And believe me, I was wondering throughout the film about this person: What prompted him to produce the film, that he is not even a Muslim?
The answer: It is an action directed at Christians and it is a prelude to a hostile action against Saudi Arabia in favor of Greater Israel. Mecca has areas for Hajj arranged in time and place. What does a Muslim do here and do there? All of this came in texts that the Qur’an and the teachings of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, told us.
As for trade routes, there were caravans in the summer heading to the Levant and in the winter they headed to Yemen. The Okaz market gathered people and poets. There was even a Saudi newspaper called Okaz. As for the farms, it is not true that they were devoid of farms, even if we assume that there is no greenery in it. The closest place to it is the city of Taif, which is 40 away from it. Mila is one of the cities that grows a variety of fruits and is described as a piece of the Levant due to the fertility of its land.
As for the effects that he is searching for, they are the same effects that he is trying to keep us away from. Does he need more than the foundations raised by our master Abraham and the daughter of Ishmael, peace be upon them? The Kaaba, which is the first mosque built for people and the first building built by Adam, peace be upon him.

why non-Muslim call the Kaaba the Black Rock? It s a cube covered with black cloth. The colour of the cube s not even black.
Good to know that. Do they usually change the cloth. I even read that the Saudis captured the place from the Yemenites. The rock was said to be a shrine of the Yemenites.

I'm surprised that Dan Gibson hasn't been attacked for saying that all Muslims are mistaken about Mecca and that they are all praying in the wrong direction when they pray.
This is because he is a clown, and no one takes him seriously.
Isn't the picture of Kabaa or the Kabaa worshipping an IDOL.Its a stone that is worshipped.
I'd like to hear the debates on the final questions!
When Moses brought the Israelites out of Egypt he gave them a sign to wear indicating they would go on the Hajj to Mecca. However, due to their taking the calf as a god to worship they were punished and never allowed to go to the Kaaba. Mecca was far south of where the exodus and wandering in the wilderness took place. ---- The Kaaba was built by Abraham and Ishmael. Other Prophets including Jethro (father in law of Moses) went on the Hajj. Moses, JESUS and other Rabbis wear the TEFFELIN, a symbol of the Black Stone Bldg on their arm and forehead - -- The system of the cube is a blessing from GOD to take mankind out of the slavery of the system of the Pyramid (NWO). As true today as back then. ----- ua-cam.com/video/ZlhS5sGinJQ/v-deo.html
@@dfwtransport2420 The Kaaba was dedicated to Paganism until the birth of Islam 2000 years later. Why would God punish them for worshiping one idol then send them to another?

There's no Zam-Zam well in Petra, the well is a proof of there's Ismail's miracle when he was born...
A well can be dug quite easily in deserts. doesnt need to be specific places
His explation about 3 different directions of every mosques built is to me is acceptable. I find this video story is something 90% right. Am sure before the mosque is guoing to finished Muslim leaders during those time are consulted about the exact direction because that is Muhammad instructions where to face direction in time of praying.
your claim have a lot of problems:
1- We know that The First who built the Kaaba was Ibrahim and his son Ismael, because Allah ordered Abraham to Immigrate with his wife to a place which no water, no food, no crops, no trees which is Mecca not Petra (Petra have water, food, trees...) but when they reach to Mecca, he went back by Order of God leaving his wife and son in this place with small amount of food and water, after few weeks, the food and water end, so Hajar started going between Safa and Marwa 7 times searching for water and food, but she don't find anything until she heard Angel Gabriel hit the ground and then the Zamzam water that we know in Mecca appeared this water is special, even the science prove that this water is the most pure and blessed water in the earth, after that Abraham come back to Mecca to kill his Son (Ismael) but we know what happened, after that Allah ordered Ibrahim and Ismael to build The Kaaba, in certain position (Mecca) near to the place that he leave her wife and his son (Mecca) and they built it, two things also proves that that position located in Mecca, 1- because that place must be not inhabitants, but Petra is really old city older than Ibrahim himself (this proven historically) 2- that place must be in desert, without no source of living (Mecca not Petra) because after he finished the building of Kaaba, he demanded Allah to make this place full of blessings and crops so if he was in Petra why he will demand Allah to make the place agriculture if it already agriculture so even The sol of Mecca not good for growing, Allah make it possible.
2- The Prophet travelled to Ethiopia by the sea, which close to Mecca and very far from Petra
3- Petra was under the control of Romans during the first period of Islam and we know that Quraysh wasn't under the control of Romans but they was part of Arab tribes that lives individually (no country or civilization)
4- Also Petra during that time was Christian but Quraish are polytheism worshipping the idols.
5- Also Battle of Badr and Uhud occurred near to Mecca and Medina so if Quraysh was in Petra then why these battles occurred near to Mecca and above that one of reasons why Battle of Uhud occurred because Muslims stopped Quraish from going to Syria, now just imagine, Quraish in Petra and Islam in Medina, how Muslims can break the line between Syria and Quraish???
6- Allah promised to Protect the Kaaba from the Disasters until the time of destruction which will be in future when Dhu'l-Suwayqatayn will destroy it, and he is from Ethiopia, that means that Ethiopia is close to Kaaba so Mecca not Petra also Allah mentioned Mecca in The Holy book which Allah promised to protect it from hands of corrupters so Mecca exist
7- Also the word Mecca means the place where people really want to go so it's not change from Becca to Mecca but it has a meaning
8- For The Qiblah:
People before 14 centuries don't have much of knowledge where the Qibla located exactly they aren't machines or they have GPS that's why Allah says that Qibla must be toward *Chatr* Masjid Al Haram (I already proved is located in Mecca) please put 100 lines under *Chatr* , Chatr means around Masjid Al Haram not itself 100%, and even those in Africa and Europe who put their Qibla to South Africa they are following Chatr of Mecca!
9- Also Allah mentioned the place of Prophet Muhammad by saying we made you in middle nation, of course Mecca is in exactly in middle of Arabian peninsula not Petra.
10- Also in Sahih Hadith, Prophet Muhammad mentioned Mecca as his city.
11- Also Muhammad predicted that around Kaaba tall buildings will construct
12- Just Imagine Allah/God let this mistake occur it's impossible, especially when Allah promised Ibrahim that Kaaba that he built will be gathered by million of people, so if even Ibrahim built the original Kaaba in Petra, then we will see millions of Muslims there!
Serious question.. Did you even watch the documentary?
The navigational stars in the sky hold no bias, my friend. All the early mosques point to Petra for a specific reason.
😂😂 their claim with historical evidence has problems.
But your story hasn't.
It is the problem of your belief.
@@davidlevi7537 No, all he said three things: Mecca is not "Qiblah" and I explained that it's impossible before 13 centuries to build a mosque with 100% Qiblah because of limits of Technology and it's not important to do Qiblah 100% correct, only Shatr is what you need to do (East, West, North and South)
and he said that Beccah = Petra and that's wrong! Becca is an Arabic word made by roots: B - K - K and it means gathered place or place that everyone go to! we say Mecca boccat with people and it means Mecca is a gather of people, and that's correct, Mecca from the beginning of Islam and even before, was a religious sight that every Arab go for Hajj and that's why it named Oum Qura and that's why it's not appeared in maps of traders, because it's religious city not trade city so what point of existence a religious city whom traders and caravans don't pass trough?
and Thirdly he say that Muhammad (as) lived in a city of plants and trees not desert, and that's dumb, The Quran itself tells that Mecca is a burden desert where Masjid Al-Haram built in!
The Problem of Gibson, is that he don't know nothing, he just want to prove a dumb idea, all his historical research is done as Masjid-Haram built in a city full of fruits and that's wrong!
EVERY MAN WHO HAVE MIND AND SMALL RELIGIOUS STUDIES WILL KNOW THAT MASJID-HARAM *BUILT IN A DESERT*

@@excelsior31107 where in the Quran Allah says he is Muhammad? This dude you cappin hard. Boy educate yourself before you post, cause it seems like your just a here to troll around. We worship the creator we dont worship any creation.
@@coolfool147 Dude, how would you know that the one you worship is your creator? The answer is that you don’t really know that. You should always make sure to stay rather critical towards religion in order not to believe in flawed arguments that may potentially lead to bad outcomes for your life.Throughout human history, there’s thousands of Gods and Goddessess with different kind of religions. You can't just relying on them blindly and believe without thinking about the good and bad with the religion you were born into and think that your religion is only the true religion. Even though the majority of believers have moderate attitudes and want to practice their religion in a peaceful manner, there are always a radical groups which try to use religion for their purposes in order to start radical movements and organizations, which in turn can lead to the death of many people all over the globe. Listen dude, nobody knows exactly what’s the right way to live and if religious movements claim to know this, believe me they are for sure not the thing you want to rely on. Since the Quran had been written for so many times thousands of years ago, it is quite hard for many of you to verify what had been written in those holy books and have to rely on interpretations and translations that may often be incorrect or misleading by the imams or by the fundamentalists Muslims which can lead to quite unpleasant outcomes with a major factor for conflict. The arguments that are made by religious people can often be disproved by scientists. Yet, those who are mentaly religious still often claim that Adam and Eve exists and that is much more believable than scientific research and should rather rely on it instead of science in order to understand where we all came from. This can lead to quite dangerous outcomes since many concepts of evolution had been proven right while many religious concepts don’t. Therefore, you should make important decisions based on your own thinking and not due to religious aspects since you might get in trouble otherwise for not using your brain wisely in the long run.
His theory that the first kibla was facing Petra was already debunked by Prof David King,Johann Wolfgang Goethe University. You can google and download his paper.
To say Islam started in Petra instead of Mecca, Dan Gibson need to find Hira Cave, Zam Zam well, Location where the first mosque was constructed, location for the Battle of Uhud, Badr etc and need to prove the reason the Petran abandoned Petra for Mecca. Unless he can proved this then his theory can never pull any traction.
How did during abbasids period all the philosophical work which was translated from Greek to latin by Romans was translated in Arabic?
exactly sister !
he is lying, like for exemple when he said becca in arabic has been changed to mecca just with "b" to"m" but this "m" (mim) is not writting like this, it's upper normaly (i found his way of lying with this, he just forcing the things to result his way...anyway !)
He forget about quran that marchan bring to other region like in asia
Great research and revelation on the origins of Islam. Petra is the Og. If I were a Muslim I would certainly want to know where the original direction to prey was and if this new direction is in correct why would I follow that.

How can you misplace an entire city? Is that even possible?
It's pure propaganda don't worry UA-cam is full of these false videos
This is a joke. Mecca has never been destroyed to be lost.
It's not about misplacement, if an country can claim mecca for itself they would gain quite a bit of political and religious power. Religion has always been tool for power, religion now due to powerful secular governments is actually much more tame. That said, in Islamic world you can still clearly see how religion is used as very powerful tool for power.
Winners write the history books, and same goes for Religious books. Religion is something that evolves and molded to suit one's needs like pretty much everything in this world.
Dan Gibson is just a self-published author. Many scholar discredited his claims.
One of such scholars is David A. King, a british orientalist & historian, who has published a solid critiques on Dan's claim about the Qibla & the position of the city of Mecca.
Assuming that you have watched this 1 hour-long video. I suggest that you read David's critique on this link :

Amazing that all the lines converge there. Did they know that the Earth was a sphere, and for the far ones that it isn't perfectly spherical?
It is well known since the antique time that it is a sphere and its circumference was even known since Eratosthenes. So Arabians, centuries later could easily know this.
@Willful Mystic Hate to be the bearer of bad news but, Arabs were in a primitive technological group by the early Islamic age. They mainly started with maths and geometry and other such during the Baghdad House of Wisdom. Mainly because they got access to the Ancient Persian, Roman, and Indian scholars and documents. And no Arabs did not make the English language, I believe they influenced around about 1-2% of it. But mainly through other languages that were influenced by them like Spanish or Portuguese, which the English borrowed a few words from.

I agree too.
Mohammed claimed that the earth was flat and that a giant whale held it on its back.

Professional approach.
In my place, Indonesia, Java, the mosque does not actually face the Qibla, but faces west, but when praying, of course it is slightly tilted by a few degrees and facing the Qibla, maybe when building a mosque there are many aspects that must be considered, such as location, road access , gps technology that did not exist in the past, not everyone can know the accurate direction using stars
In the past Arabian Muslims were master about using star to find accurate directions.
@@shahidachoudhury6925 I think the stars only show the direction of north or south, not the perfect location of a place, I mean look at the maps of ancient people. it looks really weird, so it's not that simple to finding directions from a certain location, and do you know when the most accurate map was found???
@@shahidachoudhury6925 haha, no they were not.
Watch Christian Prince Debates
@@shahidachoudhury6925 even they're master, there's a high possibility they show the wrong qibla
Why no explanation about nabawi mosque? It was build by prophet Muhammad himself
Its all a mith
They trying to mislead muslims with smartlooking assumptions of nonmuslim people!

Are you being serious or joking?

I wasn’t talking to you.
I was talking to @smart billionair.
this is the opposite of what I read, in Quran it is explicit that the tribe who "carves houses into mountains" is refering to somebody else called "Thamud". Also prophet Muhammad was explicit about the minor sign of End of Days; that there's be tall building around Kaabah, which meant Kaabah in Prophet Muhammad's time do not have tall structure like it was in Petra.
The Nabateans built Petra and Mada’in Saleh.
True.
The liar forgot the
Zam zam
@@kulmisonlaye6009 he discusses the zam zam on his channel
You talk about the end times and still refer to prophet Muhammad's time, are we all dead yet and do check out the huge buildings near kaaba at the time and what future projects can possibly be there
i agree with you. I just hope Muslims will dig deeper ans study Islam using islamic teachings NOT of the Non Muslims. It's their propaganda to lure and confuse muslims and so muslims will disobey the Rasulullah and the Qur'an. Astagfirullah.
These locations can be confusing. In Jambeez the prayer “Mekaleka hai mekahainy ho…mekaleka hai Mekachonny ho” is quite explicit. Most scholars agree with this
Praising demons who pose as a God is crazy
0:43 *We don't face the black rock but the location of the kaba building and it's surrounding area which is a little bigger and elliptical in shape.*
yes that is the work of non-Muslims about Islam
i was about to say that
Is the Black Rock inside the Ka3bah?
@@Nehmi yes, so it is the same direction. The kaaba was destroyed during the second fitna. According to Gibson's theory the black stone at that time was transport to Mecca and a new Kaaba building was erected there.
@@Nehmi No it is not. It is stuck on one of the corners from the outside. It can be touched by pilgrims from outside. The black rock is not what Muslims face during prayers. The black rock is not a part of the religion and it is not mentioned in the Quran. The black rock was placed in the Kaabah before Prophet Muhammad gained prophethood. The black rock used to be revered by the Arabs during pagan times and placing it in the Kaabah was an act signifying unity. Even today the act of facing the Kaabah by all Muslims during prayers is an act of unity. Unity is huge in Islam. Beware of the many so called religious historians who try to belittle the Muslims and their religion. Don't get confused by them. They have evil intent but will never succeed. Islam has very strong foundations. Prophet Muhammad transformed and adopted Judaism, which was at that time was a racist and tribal religion and made it universal. He believed everyone is equal and everyone is of a 'chosen people'. He accepted all the Jewish prophets as Islamic prophets and also adopted all the rituals and religious practices of Judaism including Namaz. He also accepted Jesus as a prophet and accepted his virgin birth.
really interesting and serious work here, it's always good to question what the History wrote, depending on who wrote it indeed, to see the original truth. And this is not only a question for Islam but for all religious and even Human's History and origins in general
*handshakes*
maybe he should now go and see how true the gospels are, and who actually wrote them in greek?
Im afraid this is not a serious work. And rather has all the telltale signs of a poorly constructed, imaginative conspiracy theory
@@versatile4444 have you evidence for your statement? I believe it is quite possibly true. We are finding that most of our recorded history is inaccurate to some degree if not totally false. I would be interested in your reply.
@@versatile4444 Cognitive Dissonance. It’s a very WELL constructed theory, with compelling evidence to support it. Sorry you don’t like it.
They say that Idol worshipping is a sin in their religion and still worship a black rock. funny

But no water , no trees, 10% or less precipitation, no soil that could have sustained life. No signs of any plant life inside soil samples taken from the area. No plant fossil's.
3 questions for you.
How did Mohammed grow food to eat and have water to drink ? How did they survive the extreme temperatures climbing into the 100s with absolutely no water ?
How did he build buildings with no binders such as water to make clay and sand to make bricks like the egyptians did with their pyramids?
Also where is the river that connects the mountains like Muhammad said was in Mekkah? there is no river between the mountains However there is in Petra.
@@ShimmeringIceCrystal626 you are so right....
@@ShimmeringIceCrystal626 Look, it's not my duty to proof this is false or not, for i'm already a believer of Qur'an and there are many other field that Qur'an has already proven that it is the true revelation,, because i'm not an archeologist or whatsoever, i can't answer your question.. in my understanding this research was adressed to muslim to proof that direction of qibla was wrong all this time, but as muslim i think this research was not legit enough and maybe i'll find some answer from muslim scollars to help me. Maybe other muslim brothers/ sister who studied on this field can answer your questions.
@@ShimmeringIceCrystal626 btw, it's not like there's no water source in mecca, there's a well called zam-zam in there and you can still find it nowadays in mecca,, it's been there since the time of abraham..
1:13:20 goddamn all that lost knowledge
How many Greek authors were lost that we only have fragments now or are totally unknown
Modern research has shown that the idea of a collective ‘all the knowledge humankind have ever had’ library in Alexandria is mostly a myth, though it’s known that there were several major libraries existed. Unfortunately the story of destruction of these libraries by a Muslim king is fabricated by Bishop Gregory Bar Hebræus several centuries after, who doesn’t share any historical background of the atrocities he claimed had been done by Muslim kingdoms, and no longer acknowledged today. There are proven accounts of the first fire in 47-48 BCE by Caesar (mentioned by himself) and some others in following 2-2,5 centuries by Roman Empire. For further reading I advise Gibbons on this issue.
Im here to learn about the Title of the video itself, but not a single point telling it, Rubbish. Do u know ancient times does not have satellites to set accurate measurements, just slightly 1 degree can changes hundreds of KM. and you took sample of several mosque . there are hundreds of mosque out there, and also, ur fact is all about after the death of Prophet's Muhammad, did u know that Kaabah was there before Muhammad?, Its been there since Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim AS). Not to be offended by the fact you trying to proves something, but study more!, we are talking about thousands of years of History. Even the history of Israel and Palestine can be mislead and Changed within few months? What else can be change in that long Period and all u have is Theory, The Holy Quran said in surah AlBaqarah (2:125) "We made the House a resort and a sanctuary for people, saying, ‘Take the spot where Abraham stood as your place of prayer.’ We commanded Abraham and Ishmael: ‘Purify My House for those who walk round it, those who stay there, and those who bow and prostrate themselves in worship.’" This is the first sentence mentioned about the direction(Qiblah) AGAIN!! we are not worshipping any starting of islamic birthplace or blackstone, We are prostrating towards one direction to Unites our religions all around the globe. Miraculously the surah (2:125) simply change into the reading of latitude 21°25' is the exact location of the Holy Kaabah. And thats is where the Miracle of the Quran took place, even the Quran is 1400+ years old without satelites God tell us to prostrate on this Ancient Kaabah long enough before Prohpet Muhammad PBUH is born. Even is you change the latitude into minutes reading which is 21°42' on the Kaabah. It still comes to the next sentence about the Qiblah , Surah (2:142) "The foolish among the people will say: “What has turned them away from their Qiblah which they used to observe?” Say: “To Allah belong the East and the West. He guides whom He wills to a straight path.”.. There are hundreds of Proves in Quran even scientific findings that is less than a hundred years are there 1400 years ago. The only Holy scriptures that strenghten my faith until now.

As soon as I heard the premise of this documentary about 3 minutes in, I was like, "hang on, who is this" so I looked him up. He's self published. Never published any actual academic papers. I can't even find info on where he went to school. If you're going to make a documentary and heavily feature an "expert," you should really disclose his credentials
I would like to see his theory academically debunked with facts and not emotion.
Academic "credentialing" just means you're willing to say what everyone else before you has said. Which is not scientific in nature but is authoritative in nature.

I'm proudly from Hudhail tribe, we are from mecca and we extend to Taif, this is our territory and our land and historg. our poetry is the only well documented poetry in the arab history. And I have never read or heard or imagined that the place that I'm living in is not mecca. And mecca was concerned an oasis and big village of course! Have you visited saudi arabia. We use to drive around the looking for a tree's shadow on picnics. Mecca had couple of trees and a spring of water!! That's a huge thing for us. Another thing he is lying about is: there is no archaeological permits in hijaz at all. No one can move a rock, although they have been thinking about allowing certain efforts. Hijaz history is continuous history, we didn't parish or disappear or flee to another place. We still here we know our history and since Mohmmmad SWT is considered a cousin then we would proudly preserve this history.
