Create an archaeologically and textually faithful reconstruction of the pre-Islamic sanctuary of Dhū al-Khalasa (al-Kaʿba al-Yamaniya), based strictly on early Arabic sources. Place the scene in a natural mountain setting in the highlands south of Mecca toward Yemen. Depict a tribal pagan kaʿba-like ritual enclosure, modest and open to the sky, without monumental architecture. At the center stands a rough, upright piece of white quartz stone, not anthropomorphic, with a simple crown-like carved band on its upper portion, glinting in sunlight. Around it, include small stone altars, piles of offerings (grain, milk, eggs), and implements for divination, as described in textual sources. Add rich but historically plausible ornamentation: hanging textiles, beads, necklaces, and simple decorations draped around the enclosure and nearby poles. Include subtle perfume smoke and incense, and depict tribal worshippers in pre-Islamic Arabian garments (linen and wool tunics, some with simple jewelry) moving reverently around the shrine. Atmosphere & Sensory Detail: Earthy, tribal, and sacred, emphasizing the ritual and devotional use of the sanctuary. The sun casts golden light on the white quartz, fabrics, and offerings, with soft shadows across sandy soil and sparse vegetation. The scene should evoke a lived, sensory experience of pre-Islamic Arabian pagan worship, emphasizing textual fidelity over artistic embellishment. Style: Hyper-detailed, realistic, cinematic, highlighting Mehr sehen
