                   The broken red line shows the Prophet Abraham's (pbuh) route in the light
                   of historical records. He left Ur, in Sumeria, and eventually reached
                   Mecca.
                   (Overleaf) Excavations outside the city walls of Ur reveal the remains of a
                   settlement dating from 2000 BCE. Historians state that the Prophet
                   Abraham's (pbuh) people may have lived in similar houses.
