- ... that the basic design for the sitaras that decorate the Kaaba (example pictured) dates back to the 16th century? "The earliest known example of the door curtain [i.e. sitara] was made in Egypt and dates to 1544. [...] The design of the sitara and the hizam was quickly established and although there were a number of variations in the inscriptions and they grew ever more elaborate [...], the basic forms have remained virtually unchanged until the present day."
