If the Muslim uploaded video discussed below is all they've got, it makes more apparent than ever that there is not a shred of historical or archaeological evidence whatsoever, that Mecca ever existed, before the 4th century AD.

History of Islam"
If my tone seems a bit abrupt below I apologize, but it's sometimes difficult to avoid after weeks of the same repeated already answered nonsensical questions, over and over again in my channel comments, while he censored my comments, and even a
simple question, on his channel.

Hilarious to quote 18th century Gibbons misunderstanding of an early writer, when Gibbons characterized the care he exercised as
"I am ignorant, and I am careless, of the blind mythology of the Barbarians..."
The fact is that Diodorus who Gibbons cites wrote of a temple "...between the Thamudites and the Sabseans ... whose superior sanctity was revered by all the Arabians".
It was a temple in Ilat in the Aqaba gulf area of a tribe called Batmizomaneis.

The simple fact is that there is NOT A SHRED of archaeological or historical record of Mecca ever having existed before the 4th century, or the Kaaba ever existing before the early 5th century. It was built for pagan Star Family worship and Muslims still bow toward, and travel to and circumambulate, the same black stone moon god idol that the pagans circumambulated, before Mohammed.

Psalms 84:6 [Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
What a bunch of foolish presumption and preposterous leaps when all you had to do was read the next verse:
84:7 They go from strength to strength, [every one of them]IN ZION appeareth before God.
Thus we see this passage describing a journey to ZION - to Jerusalem - to the Holy Land.

Zion is referenced 153 times in the Word of God.
Zion is the easternmost hill in the city of Jerusalem.
"...Zion: the same [is] the city of David."
"...covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which [is] Zion."
"For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion..."
