       The Axis Mundi Navel of Earth

       The Axis Mundi Navel of Earth

       Every day in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, thousands of Muslims gather
       and walk westward circles around a tall black stone cube called
       the Kaaba. This Kaaba stone lies at the very center of Islam's
       most important Mosque, the Great Mosque of Mecca, and is the
       most sacred site in Islam, said to be the "Bayt Allah" (House of
       God), where all Muslims must turn to face before daily prayers.
       The most common epithet often used for Kaaba translates to "the
       center of the Earth," and in the 9th century, Islamic scholar
       al-Kisa'i argued that the true Kaaba was actually located
       directly beneath the North Pole Star. This would mean the true
       Kaaba is actually Mount Meru, and not the large black stone
       worshiped in Saudi Arabia.
       This would mean that every day thousands of Muslims walk
       westward circles around Kaaba, just like every night thousands
       of stars rotate westward circles around Mount Meru. This would
       mean that just like the ancient Chinese and Greeks would face
       north before commencing prayer, that Muslims too are meant to be
       facing the North Pole, rather than Saudi Arabia.
       Many legends of Mount Meru claim it to be a mountain composed of
       black magnetite stone (Mercator's "Rupes Nigra") surrounded by
       four directional rivers and islands, and this is again echoed
       symbolically by the black stone (4-sided) cube at Mecca. Why
       does this black cube in Mecca so perfectly mirror the ancient
       myths of Mount Meru? Could this manmade construction in Saudi
       Arabia be usurping the placement of the true "House of God" at
       the North Pole?
