Episode Details

Al Fadi and Dr Jay continue the discussion from last time about the Red Sea route through Mecca .  Dr Patricia Crone debunked the land route theory and said that the route was through the Eastern side of the Red Sea coast. But history proves that the ships in the 2nd and 3rd century BC took the west coast of the red sea because of the five coastal cities that existed on the coast of Eretria, Sudan And Egypt. Also History shows that Jeddah was provided as a sea port to provide water for Mecca  and both cities did not exist until the 8th century AD.   Without Mecca there is no seventh century Islam( S.I.N.).
