The Standard Islamic Narrative (S.I.N.) claims that between 70 – 300 prophets died and were buried in Mecca, including Adam and Eve, Seth, Ishmael, Noah, Hud (the great-great grandson of Noah), Salih (the grandfather of Hagar), the Queen of Shebah, and even the prophet Daniel!

In order to be buried in Mecca, the prophets would have had to have been living there as well, since Muslims believe anyone who dies must be buried within 24 hours. Thus, all these prophets all lived and died there.

What’s more, the Traditions tell us that they were buried in a kneeling position so that they could continue to pray even after death.

This means their bodies should still be in the ground around Mecca, and they should still be kneeling.

Therefore, all we have to do then is dig around the Kaaba and we should be able to find between 70 – 300 prophet’s all in a kneeling position.

Yet, take a look at Mecca today and you will notice that there are many enormous buildings being erected all around the Kaaba, with many cranes poking out above the building sites.

In fact the 4th highest building in the world, the Meccan clock-tower has been built directly next to and overlooking the Kaaba. In order to build such tall buildings, deep foundations need to be dug to keep them steady.

So, with all the building sites everywhere, each digging deep into the ground to construct deep foundations, what have they been able to find?

The answer? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Not one body of any prophet, or of anyone else has been uncovered despite numerous large building projects being carried out immediately around the Kaaba in Mecca.

What’s more, if these many prophets had all lived and died in Mecca, this would mean that almost all of the Bible would have to be re-written, and all of the stories be re-directed 600 – 1,000
miles further south, away from Israel, and down to Mecca.

Yet, there is so much evidence for the Biblical narrative historically, while conversely, there is almost no evidence whatsoever for Islam’s historical claims, including the ridiculous notion that between 70 – 300 prophets were buried there!
