The history is the Black stone was sent to Earth by Allah. It sounds sort of like the golden tablets of the Mormon Church, except the Muslims actually have the stone and display it.
An increasing probability that Allah, or another Gawd, will drop a larger rock out of space upon the Kaaba and put a major twist into Islamic dogma.

The
Black Stone (
Arabic: ٱلْحَجَرُ ٱلْأَسْوَد,
romanized:
al-Ḥajar al-Aswad) is a rock set into the eastern corner of the
Kaaba, the ancient building in the center of the
Grand Mosque in
Mecca,
Saudi Arabia. It is revered by Muslims as an
Islamic relic which, according to
Muslim tradition, dates back to the time of
Adam and
Eve.
The stone was venerated at the Kaaba in pre-Islamic
pagan times. According to Islamic tradition, it was set intact into the Kaaba's wall by the Islamic
prophet Muhammad in 605 CE, five years before his
first revelation. Since then, it has been broken into fragments and is now cemented into a silver frame in the side of the Kaaba. Its physical appearance is that of a fragmented dark rock, polished smooth by the hands of pilgrims. It has often been described as a
meteorite.<a href="

Muslim pilgrims circle the Kaaba as a part of the
tawaf ritual during the
hajj and many try to stop to kiss the Black Stone, emulating the kiss that Islamic tradition records that it received from Muhammad.<a href="
