    I realized probably not a lot of people know what it looks like inside, so they might find this interesting.

    I'm sure this thread will ultimately end up in the D&D, but seems logical to start it here.

    There's your answer boys. There's usually nothing to discuss, until someone makes a post like this.

    Thanks for the post Mathloom. I was wondered what it looked like inside. I agree this post should be left in the hangout. Nothing to debate here.

    That's pretty cool. I thought it would be darker and stuff...

    So what earned those dudes the right to enter?

    Isn't that the temple located in Mecaa, which is like the Mecca of Islam.

    That is interesting and didn't realize that people could actually enter it. Isn't there supposed to a black rock inside that is related to the story of Abraham?

    Also I know that non-Muslims are not allowed into Mecca. I know you said you were no longer a practicing Muslim but would some Muslims considered sacrilegious for non-Muslims to see the pics of video of the inside of the Kaaba?

    The black rock is suposed to absorb the sin of humanity, hence why it's black.

    As for photographing the inside, yes I'm sure many more conserative muslims are unhappy.

    From what I hear, the King and his crew go in once in a while to clean it? The black stone is actually located on one of the corners of the Kaaba from the outside.
