What if 2 Billion Muslims Were Praying in the Wrong Direction
The Sacred City presents compelling evidence that suggests the holy city of Mecca is in the wrong location and that the worlds 1.6 billion Muslims are praying in the direction of the wrong city. Compiling evidence from both historic sources and new technologies point to the correct location in this seismic, revelatory new film. In the film 'The Sacred City' we set out his evidence from within Islamic and ancient histories – while also using modern technologies - to track down the biggest secret of the last fifteen hundred years. Gibson not only finds the location of the original Mecca but also provides a convincing argument as to how such a great misunderstanding in Islamic history came about. 0:00 Challenging the Foundation of Islam as New Archaeological Discoveries Question the Origins of Mecca 🕋 3:37 🕌 The foundation of Islam is being questioned as new archaeological discoveries challenge traditional beliefs about the religion's origins in Mecca. 10:30 🕌 The historical accounts of the foundation of Islam and the city of Mecca are inconsistent with archaeological evidence, leading some historians to believe that the early Islamic records are myths. 20:46 🕌 The original Qibla direction of prayer in Islam is believed to have been towards Jerusalem, but recent research suggests it may have been towards a different direction. 26:55 🕌 During the first 100 years of Islam, all surviving mosques were located in the south of Jordan, facing Petra. 35:48 🕌 The early mosques of Islam faced the ancient city of Petra, which had water, fields, and trees, unlike Mecca. 44:01 🕌 The city of Petra may have been the original holy city of Islam, and not Mecca as traditionally believed. 52:33 🕌 The direction of the Qibla in early Islamic mosques shifted between Petra and Mecca, causing confusion and division among Muslims. 1:00:36 🕌 The direction of the Qibla in early Islamic mosques shifted from Petra to Mecca, causing division and confusion within the Islamic world. 1:09:06 📚 The early history of Islam was influenced by the destruction of books and manuscripts, leading to a literary void that was later filled by the Abbasids with their politically biased version of Islamic history. 1:18:42 🕌 The theory suggests that the city of Petra, not Mecca, was the original holy city of Islam.

Deadliest Journeys | Eastern South Asia | Bangladesh, Nepal, India & Bhutan
00:00 Summary 00:45 Bangladesh In the world's most populous country, a sobering proverb resonates: life is considered the most affordable commodity. Right from the opening scenes of the film, the notion of overpopulation takes on a stark and disheartening reality. It is truly difficult to fathom that a man would willingly plunge, nearly unclothed, into the sewage-filled depths of a capital city housing 15 million inhabitants, amidst human waste, all in pursuit of gold. This poignant example illustrates the extreme lengths some individuals are driven to survive in an environment marked by overwhelming population density. Director: Geoffrion David, Lainé Daniel 49:59 India Located in the northeastern region of India, Benares stands as the country's most significant holy city. Nestled along the banks of the revered River Ganges, few places in India can match the vibrant, bustling, and deeply spiritual atmosphere that permeates Benares. Here, Hindu traditions come to life as the deceased are cremated, with the belief that this sacred act in Benares ensures a direct passage to paradise, bypassing the cycle of reincarnation. Director: D'Arthuis Manolo 01:41:25 Nepal In the remote Gorkha region, far removed from the usual tourist routes, the local inhabitants face a constant struggle against the monsoon season. During these challenging periods, mountainous villages find themselves cut off from the outside world for months at a time. Convoys of trucks and caravans of mules valiantly navigate treacherous terrain, braving the elements to deliver essential supplies to the isolated population. However, the scarcity of bus drivers poses an additional challenge, making reliable transportation few and far between. Director: Cotto Nicolas 02:32:42 Bhutan Bhutan, a small kingdom nestled in the heart of the Himalayas between India and China, holds the unique distinction of enshrining 'Gross National Happiness' in its constitution. Embracing a retreat from globalization, the country's criss-crossed trails traverse vertiginous mountains. However, the population is subject to strict regulations. The monsoon season poses challenges for travelers, navigating through mud and landslides, often leading to traffic standstills. To address these issues, the government has enlisted the help of Dankas, skilled workers from India who utilize explosives to widen access and construct asphalt roads at altitudes exceeding 3,000 meters.
