Nothing here is written by an author. Everything on the wiki, the map and the prophet pages is assembled from findings that the community graded, voted on and checked. This page shows how the parts connect and why the result cannot be bent by any one person.
We believe history has been manipulated, again and again, by those who gained from our forgetting. One record was kept from that: the Quran, preserved as it was revealed. It is the reservation — the ground that was not moved — and it brings people out of darkness into light (14:1, 2:257). Everything on this site begins there.
On belief and worship, the Quran is THE authority on this site. There is nothing less and nothing beside it. What the text says, as written, is grade A; no document, no scholar and no vote stands above it.
On what happened, where, and what words meant, claims must rest on verifiable sources: manuscripts, inscriptions, sites and their verified images (B), dated documents (C). The Quran still ranks above all of these; it is the one source that outranks them, never the reverse.
This site does not judge people, and it asks for no qualification. We are looking for puzzle pieces, and anyone, anywhere, may hold one: a word your grandmother used, a stone in your village wall, a page in a book nobody has opened for a century. We collect the pieces and examine them together, by the same rules for everyone, to see which ones pass. Only the evidence is judged, never the person who brought it.
Anyone posts a point of view with its evidence. Evidence is required; a finding without a source is accepted but cannot advance.
Members vote. Votes only decide which findings are looked at first; they never decide whether a finding is true. Once a thread reaches 25 votes, the top 3 findings advance.
Many members, not one researcher, check each finding. A checker answers one question: does the cited evidence say what the finding claims? Not whether they agree. Each finding needs 15 checks and two-thirds must pass.
An editor assembles the findings that passed into a continuous page. Every sentence carries a footnote to the finding it rests on. Nothing without a passed finding may appear.
The page goes live on the wiki, and its content flows to the map, the timelines and the reader. Anyone can challenge any finding; a challenge with 25 votes sends it back to the checks.
The finding takes the grade of the evidence that establishes it. If any step is reasoning, the finding is D, whatever it cites. No one types a letter; the rule computes it.
Every piece of evidence records what kind of thing it is — a verse, a manuscript, a verified image, a dated document, a line of reasoning. The grade letter is computed from that kind by a public rule. No one picks a grade, no vote can raise one, and interpretation is always D however many people like it. Change the rule and every page recomputes; a letter is never stored.
The Koran is the root. A verse, a word, a place or a prophet raises a question; the question becomes a thread; threads collect findings; findings that pass become wiki pages; wiki pages feed the map pins, the prophet timelines and the verse cards back in the reader. Every link runs both ways, so from any point you can trace where a claim came from and where it is used.
