References to Mecca in ancient texts
Bibliotheca Historica, a history by the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus (c. 90-30 BCE), makes several possible references to the Kaaba. Edward Gibbon quotes Diodorus in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire:
The genuine antiquity of Caaba ascends beyond the Christian era: in describing the coast of the Red sea the Greek historian Diodorus has remarked, between the Thamudites and the Sabeans, a famous temple, whose superior sanctity was revered by all the Arabians; the linen of silken veil, which is annually renewed by the Turkish emperor, was first offered by the Homerites, who reigned seven hundred years before the time of Mohammad. And a temple has been set-up there, which is very holy and exceedingly revered by all Arabians. [3] Note that "700 years before the time of Mohammad" is essentially contemporary with Diodorus.
Crone, in her 1987 book, gives a precis of various Greek and Roman texts thought by some to have referred to Mecca. She argues that there is no hard evidence linking those references to the South Arabian trade to Mecca.

In the Torah/Bible

Some people believe that references to Mecca exist in the texts that compose the Jewish Torah and the Christian Old Testament. Examples of possible references to Mecca include Psalm 84 and the wilderness of Paran, which is mentioned in many passages of the Bible
