Marble Flooring of the Grand Mosque in Mecca
The video explores a remarkable type of marble used in the flooring of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, notable for its ability to remain cool even under extreme heat.
Key Features of the Marble
-
Unique Thermal Properties This marble reflects sunlight and heat, preventing it from warming up despite the intense heat during Mecca’s summer months.
-
Rare Geological Source The marble, referred to as “Thucydides” in the video (likely a transcription error or misnaming), is found exclusively in the mountains of a Greek island.
Historical Engineering and Procurement
- Egyptian engineer Mohamed Kamal Ismail discovered this special marble while working on the Grand Mosque expansion.
- He traveled to Greece to purchase a large quantity of the rare marble.
- Fifteen years later, he was tasked with acquiring the same marble for the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina.
Serendipitous Discovery
- Initially, the marble was believed to be sold out.
- After persistent inquiry, Mohamed Kamal learned that a Saudi company had purchased the remaining stock but had not used it.
- Recognizing the sacred purpose of the project, the company generously donated the marble for the Prophet’s Mosque without payment.
Scientific and Natural Phenomena
- Marble’s ability to reflect sunlight and resist heat absorption.
- The rarity and exclusivity of the marble’s geological source.
- Practical application of natural materials with unique properties in architectural design to enhance comfort in extreme climates.
