I have been immersed in Petra over the last couple of days..looking at those routes and others.



'The Mysterious Nabataeans'.

Female Trinity,
"The Goddesses Al-Uzza, Al-Lat and Menat formed a triad in pre-Islamic Arabia. They were widely worshipped: from Nabatean Petra in the North to the legendary Kingdoms of Arabia Felix in the South, including Saba, the Biblical Sheba; as far east as Iran and Palmyra; and the three of them were very popular Goddesses in Mecca at the time of Mohammed."

"Sometimes the three of them are referred to as the daughters of Al-Lah; sometimes Manat and Al-Lat are considered daughters of Al-Uzza.
Al-Uzza, "the Strong One", was one of the most venerated Arab Deities, and the Goddess of the morning and evening star, Venus. She had a temple at Petra (though which one that was has not been determined), and may well have been the patron Goddess of that city"

Al-Lat, whose name is a contraction of al-Illahat, "the Goddess", called "the Mother of the Gods", or "Greatest of All". She is a Goddess of Springtime and Fertility, the Earth-Goddess who brings prosperity.

Manat or Manawayat derives Her name from Arabic maniya, "fate, destruction, doom, death", or menata, "part, portion, that which is alloted". She is a very ancient Deity and Her cult may precede both Al-Uzza's and Al-Lat's. Her cult was widespread, though She was particularly worshipped as a black stone at Quidaid, near Mecca. She is connected with the great pilgrimage, as Her sanctuary was the starting point for several tribes. She is known from Nabatean inscriptions, and tombs were placed under Her protection, asking Her to curse violators. She is accordingly a Goddess of Death,

"The three were worshipped as uncut aniconic stones."

What if Muhammad was not from Mecca but Petra?




If Petra was really Mecca then maybe Mada'in Saleh (another Nabataean site South of Petra) is the real Medina(also South of Petra and near to Mada'in Saleh).


How interesting then that the female Trinity, 'Allah's Daughters', come up for me again while reading about Muhammad. They are mentioned in the Quran and are in fact the reason for the 'Satanic Verses' incident..

"The Satanic Verses incident, known as qissat al-gharaniq (Story of the Cranes), is the name given to the alleged occasion on which the Islamic Prophet Muhammad is said to have mistaken the words of "satanic suggestion" for divine revelation."

"Have ye thought upon Al-Lat and Al-‘Uzzá
and Manat, the third, the other?" (53:19,20)

'Satanic influence':
"These are the exalted gharniq, whose intercession is hoped for." (53:21,22)

Changed to:
Are yours the males and His the females?
That indeed is an unfair division!

Then there's the 'Birmingham Qu'ran',

a few pages of a Qu'ran were found inside another manuscript owned by the University of Birmingham, in 2015. The script is in Hijazi, which is interesting as it's the area of Mada'in Saleh, Medina and Mecca.

The issue is that it appears to have been from the time of Muhammad even though the traditional narrative is that the Qu'ran was compiled after his death.

Yeah, that goes with stoning the devil act of Hajj. No one really has explained what stone pillars were used for all over the earth nor by whom.
