This is a real quicky, showing you a number of 6th and 7th century maps, none of which have Mecca on them.
Yet, if Mecca is the oldest city in history (i.e. the Qur'an intimates that Adam and Eve were sent there when they were thrown out of the Garden of Eden in Surah 7:24), and it is where Abraham lived and rebuilt the Kaba'ah according to Surah 21:51-71 (thus, 1900 BC); if it was the center of the Islamic Empire, and the center of all the trade in that area (according to the later Traditions), and if it was where Muhammad was born, grew up, and finally moved from in 622 AD, then why is it not on any map from that time period at all?
In fact, why does it not show on any map until 900 AD?
