    I was once looking up this antipode and it was interesting to see what's
    actually there. Let's call Mecca a place where some sort of "spiritual
    energy" is released; the anti-Mecca is the place where nuclear energy was
    and it's radiation probably still is released; the location is more or less
    exactly the place of the Frchench test site for nuclear bombs...
