Who is Dan Gibson?
Daniel "Dan" Gibson (born 1956) is a self-published Canadian author studying the early history of Arabia and Islam. He visited the Arabian peninsula for the first time in his early twenties. After high school and some studies in theology Gibson spent his life researching the history of the Arabian

peninsula. Gibson investigated the history of the Arabian and Nabatean trade in the period from 300 BC to 500 AD. This led him to believe that there are contradictions between the archaeological record and the traditional historiography of Arabia respective of Islam. Gibson has developed the theory that Islam's prophet Muhammad did not live in Mecca but in Petra.

Mecca, or Makkah is a city in the Hejazi region of the Arabian Peninsula, and the plain of Tihamah in Saudi Arabia. It is also the capital and administrative headquarters of the Makkah Region. The city is located 70 km (43 mi) inland from Jeddah in a narrow valley at a height of 277 m (909 ft) above

sea level, and 340 kilometres (210 mi) south of Medina. Its resident population in 2012 was roughly 2 million,
What is Jordan?
Jordan, officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is an Arab country in Western Asia, on the East Bank of the Jordan River. Jordan is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south and the east, Iraq to the north-east, Syria to the north and Israel and Palestine (West Bank) to the west. The Dead Sea is

located along its western borders and the country has a small coastline to the Red Sea in its extreme south-west, but is otherwise landlocked. Jordan is strategically located at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe. The capital, Amman, is Jordan's most populous city as well as the country's economic, political and cultural centre.
Where is Petra?
Petra originally known to its inhabitants as Raqmu, is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Petra lies on the slope of Jabal Al-Madbah in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of the Arabah valley that runs from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra is

believed to have been settled as early as 9,000 BC, and it was possibly established in the 4th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataean Kingdom. The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who invested in Petra's proximity to the trade routes by establishing it as a major regional trading hub.
