That's not a valid objection, pal. How come Muhammad would give modern specifics to people in the desert fourteen centuries ago. A prophecy should also be intelligible to them, back then, not just to us.
Imagine him describing some future event in detail, like world war II, and start using the labels Allies, Axis, Hitler, Aircraft,... etc. I bet they wouldn't be able to recall one word of his speech.

If it were a "prophecy", not that there is any such thing, but if there were, why not names like "Sears Tower" or "Empire State Building" in those exact letter sequences?
The ancient egyptian pyramids and Taj Mahal were gigantic for their times.
Again, someone in the Arabian peninsula back then wouldn't be able to process these sequences in any meaningful way. Muhammad's words would be useless to his contemporaries. And that's not a good sign for a message supposed to be valid for all ages- including theirs.
We have a fucked up cable show here in America called "Ancient Aliens", it is basically the si fi version of the same shit you are trying to pull here. There are morons who think based on things like the Mayans and or Egyptians humans were visited by little green men in antiquity.
What you are doing is RETROFITTING AFTER THE FACT!
It doesn't work when you pull it, or when a Christian or Hindu or Roswell Area 51 conspiracy nut pulls it. All of it still amounts to you seeing what you want when in reality nothing is there. Just like seeing shapes in the clouds. If you really want to believe that crap badly enough, you will.
