travel log
Then we went through this fucking door. No photos were allowed inside. These are the former private chambers of the sultan, and now house: hair from Muhammad's beard, a piece of Muhammad's tooth, a signed letter written by Muhammad to a head of state, an imprint of Muhammad's footprint, Muhammad's holy banner and the Holy Mantle (which Muhammad wore) in golden chests, Moses' staff, King David's sword, John the Baptist's scrolls, keys to the Kaaba, the gutters of the Kaaba, etc, etc, etc. In the room with the relics (beard hair, tooth piece) a mufti recites continuously from the Qur'an. Holy shit is this place fucking badass.
