Makkah is the holiest place on earth. it's where Muslims face while praying to God. It symbolizes unity, purity and a single faith between millions of humans no matter where they are from. Makkah is interestingly situated on the absolute centre of the earth.
Now here are facts you'll find interesting:
1) Earth's gravity is less powerful at Mecca.
2) An "infinite amount of shortwave radiation" emits entirely from Mecca into the outer reaches of interstellar space.
3) A compass will not work at the Equator, which is why you live longer, and healthier lives, if you live in Mecca, because the Earth's Magnetic Field is less powerful there.
4) The oldest rocks in the whole world are basalt rocks from Mecca that are also apparently not from this Solar System.
wanna know more, search for it.. they west has taken charge of eliminating all resourceful information on Islam because there can be no contradictions to proofs of the existence of God, so try some Muslim sites.
