Mecca, officially Makkah al-Mukarramah and commonly shortened to Makkah, was a city and administrative center of the Mecca Province of Saudi Arabia, and the holiest city in Islam.

History[]

21st Century[]

Mecca is shown during a news report in Washington D.C, showing many Muslims performing a salah around the Kaaba, possibly praying because of the disasters taking place around the world. It is most likely that Mecca got swept away by the Worldwide Flooding.

Trivia[]

  • When viewports (maps) in the alternate ending of the film were seen, part of Saudi Arabia was seen rising above the waters, including the original location of Mecca. However, like other cities, there is a possibility that Mecca was destroyed by a tsunami or earthquake.
  • There was going to be a scene in the movie where the Kaaba collapses. However, Roland Emmerich gave up this Scene because of the fear of receiving a death fatwa. (Emmerich reveals fear of fatwa axed 2012 scene)
