Miracle of Golden ratio for Ka'ba
Claim that the distance from North and South poles to Ka'ba forms the golden ratio of 1.618.
But as we see that,
Coordinates of Ka'ba : 21.4225° N, 39.8261° E
Degrees from North pole : 90 - 21.4225 = 68.5775
Degrees from South pole : 90 + 21.4225 = 111.4225
Ratio : 111.4225/68.5775 = 1.6247675987.
The origin of the hoax seems to be Turkey with a well-produced documentary circulating throughout the Youtube site.
