The Kaaba in Mecca, which covers the sacred Black Stone that Muslims believe fell from heaven, has a long narrative history. It is said to have been constructed by Adam, then by Seth, then by Abraham, then by the Amalekites, then in the 7th century by the Korachites under the Copt architect Dokun. After it was destroyed by Yazid, Abdallah Ibn Zobeir rebuilt it. It was again destroyed as part of an order from Abd al-Malik, who, shortly after, reconstructed the porticos; it was from this moment that it went down in history.
