There is no description of Mecca in the annals of trade, military, and religion in imperial empires of Assyria and Babylonia. Statement of Muslims that Mecca is the center of religion since the time of Abraham not proven archeology because no such information along ancient times, especially in the reign of Sargon II.
Muslims claim that linking Mecca and the Kaaba with Zamzam Ibrahim and Ismail are based on several sources:
Kabah existing Ibrahim era. Sources:
Surah 2: 125
And (remember) when We made the house (Baitullah) a gathering place for people and a safe place. And make sebahagian Station of Abraham the place of prayer. And We commanded Abraham and Ishmael: "Purify My house for those who tawaf, which i` tikaaf, the ruku 'and prostration ".
Sirah Ibn Ishaq-The Story of Prophets History of the Oldest-Muhammadiyah University Press, Volume 1, page 65:
When Ishmael, son of Abraham died, his son Nabit given the task of a leader and ruler Kaaba, then the task is followed by Mudzadz Amr ibn al-Jurhumi . Offspring of Ishmael and his descendants Mudzadz Nabit with their grandfather and uncle Amr ibn maternal uncle of Jurhum them, and Qatura offspring, who is a cousin Jurhum, when it was the Mecca. Meraka come from the land of Yemen, and traveled together into the land of Mecca. &. The Lord then multiply the descendants of Ishmael in Mecca.
Zam-Zam Spring has existed since the time of Abraham and Ishmael. Source:
Sahih Bukhari-Volume 4, book 55, number 583:
When the water in leather bags has been exhausted, Hagar became thirsty, so did Ishmael. Ishmael Hagar saw that in a state suffering from thirst. Hagar left Ishmael because Ishmael could not bear to see the suffering......... . Hagar continues Menurt running between Safa and Marwa seven times. Prophet said, "This incident underlying the tradition of pilgrims walk between Safa and Marwa" When Hagar reach the hill of Marwa she heard a voice, Hagar said, "O, whoever you are, you have made me hear your voice, if you can help me?, And magic Hagar then saw an angel at the site is being dug Zam Zam, until finally the water gushing from the spot.
Researchers tried to find answers to the truth about the history of Islam, and based on the results of the archaeological evidence apparently claim Islam is not evident. Evidence are:
Mecca is not mentioned in the reign of Sargon II
Sargon II ruled over Assyria in 721-705 BC. Egypt has one of the conquests. He also strengthened the power of Assyria Babylonia. From the time of Sargon II, a description of the Arabs increase. Inscription inscription of Sargon II fame because they contain information on the tribute to Assyria diberian various kings, including King of Saba. Also referred to some tribes in northern Arabia.
After Sargon II, there are inscriptions of the Assyrian king Sennacherib who ruled in 704-681 BC. Sennacherib destroy the city known as Babylonia. The main inscription Inscription from the time of Sennacherib was Herper Letters letter, which was made at the time of Sennacherib and Assurbanipal.
After Sennacherib, there is a stele inscriptions of the Assyrian king Esarhaddon ruling in 680-669 BC. Then came the inscription inscription of King Assurbanipal's ruling in 668-627 BC. Assurbanipal defeated Elam, Egypt and Lydia. Stele inscriptions of Assurbanipal in 649 BC contains information on the nation Arabia.
(AC Piepkorn, Historical Prism of Assurbanipal, Chicago-USA, 1933, p. 19-20)
Reign of Sargon II and Arabia
If Mecca is already in the time of Sargon II, of course, the city will be called with various Arabian tribes, including Saba, all of which are referred to in various inscriptions in that era.
Assyrian King Sargon II, 722-705 BC
Sargon II was one of the greatest king of the Assyrian king. In lieu of King Shamaneser V, Sargo II ruled in 722-705 BC, and strengthen the powers that have been developed by Tiglath-Pileser III. Philistia, Babylonia, Kurdistan and Israel are some of the lands he conquered. In the year 717 BC, he fired a king of the Hittite city Karkemish in and make the city as Assyrian colony. He stopped the rebellion in many cities, such as Arpad, Damascus, and Hamath, and he defeated the Egyptians plan to support the rebels. After the defeat of a nation, Sargon would take most of the rest of the population and mix with people from other areas. One example is the Samaritan. Sargon II took the people of Israel who live in northern Samaria to the Assyrians and then brought Arab tribes that threatened its border to live in Samaria.
Palace of King Sargon II
The rest of the remains of the palace of Sargon and the capital of Dur Sharrukin has revealed its annual record. ² Among the important events recorded was his victory over several Arab tribes, such as Thamud, Marsimani, Efa, and Ibadidi. He drove some of the population to Samaria. Was also listed in the records it receives from Pir'u tribute, the king of Egypt, from Samsi, Queen of northern Arabia and desert between Arabia and Palestine, and of Ita'amra, Raja Saba, known as Saba prasasati Yathi 'amar. [Luckenbil, op. cit., vol. II, 7; Rogers, op. cit., p. 331; Barton, op. cit., p. 463; quoted by James Montgomery, Arabia and the Bible, p. 59] We also find a description of the defeat of the Arab tribes in other Assyrian records, the inscription Cylinder (Cylinder). Description tribute from the king of kings is written in inscriptions Display (Display). There is a description of historical events in this period is recorded several times.
The inscription of Sargon II
Marsimani tribes also referred to as tribes Mesamanes, called Ptolemy in his Geography, in volume six, chapter seven. [Claudius Ptolemy, The Geography, Book vi, chapter VII, translated by Stevenson, Dover Publications, 1991, p. 139] Ptolemy records the location of interest is located near the Thamud. Thamud mentioned in the inscription of the stele as Arab tribes in northwestern Arabia. Thamud noted by the ancient Greek and Roman writers, and many are listed in the various inscriptions. Thamud located between Teima and the area where Mecca was later built.
Efa, who allied with the Arab tribes to fight against the king of Assyria northwestern Tiglath-Pileser III, re-emerged again with the new partnership.
From the inscription inscription Tiglath-Pileser III and Sargon II, we can find out what important events happened, what the state and the dominant city in the western Arabia in the 8th century BC. This information includes trade and political views. Mecca is not mentioned in all of recorded history, despite its proximity to the location of tribes mentioned in the inscription the 8th century BC, as the tribe Thamud and Mesamanes.
