Well done Gibson, you nailed it! Petra preceded Mecca!

Moving on from the last video Jay and Al Fadi note that by using the Petran god, Allah, the Muslims have contradicted their own Qur'anic injunction to not equate anyone or anything alongside god, as this commits the unforgivable sin, known as Shirk. The Petran 'Allah' has a wife named 'Al-lat' which suggests that he is not unique, nor one, and that his wife would share in his glory, if they are both eternal; ramping up the problems in using this god for the god of Islam. An equally problematic difficulty for Muslims concerns their view that their sanctuary, Mecca, existed since the beginning of time, coupled with the belief that Adam and Eve were sent there, that Abraham lived there in 1900 BC, and that Muhammad was born there and grew up there until 622 AD, when he then moved to Medina. The problem is that there simply is no reference to Mecca until well into the 8th century AD, and the stages for the Hajj not only previously existed in Petra, but were more realistic with better dimensions than what was then created in Mecca later on. Take for instance the two "mountains" of 'Safah and Marwah', between which Hagar supposedly ran back and forth to search for water for her son Ishmael. These two mountains do exist in Petra, and they are truly mountains, with an old church and what used to be a temple atop them. Yet, in the new sanctuary in Mecca, they are only a few feet away from the Kaaba, and are only two small rocks, about 15-20 feet high; not exactly mountains, suggesting that they were brought there as facsimiles, or symbols of the original Safah and Marwah in Petra. In fact all of the stages of the Hajj in Petra, according to Gibson, seem to have been recreated in Mecca, proving not only that Petra, not Mecca was the original sanctuary, but that the 9th-10th century traditions, which every Muslim is dependent on for their faith, have the wrong sanctuary, in the wrong city, and at the wrong time. All the more reason to not trust them, but simply dispense with them, in order to find out what really happened in the 7th - 8th centuries.
