What did you expect from its pagan creators...Stonehenge? Sure, Stonehenge was way before Islam, but these were ignorant bedouins, what did you expect.
Look, the pre-islamic pagans that created the black shrine were only concerned about it having a compartment to house all the pagan idols recognized by all the pagan pilgrims that came to worship.
The cube was the best these primitives could do, so lets cut these people some slack. They didnt know some warlord would come along and snatch up their primitive rituals.

The only man who saw and conversed wth God for long was Adam. He was pushed down from heaven for disobeyingnthe God.Heprayed God much and secured His pardon,Then God made him rejoin with his wife near Makkah, So to commemorate that event he built a platform on which was God's throne.]that he has seen .During the delusion inthe time of Nooh , itwas washed off! So l]God ordered Abraham and his son, Ishmael to build ahouse for him on earth at that spot. That cube is Ka'ba (the cube).
Prior to the advent of Islam, the pagan Arabs kept 35o idols and worshipped them one a day(Arab yearconsists of350 days only),
Prophet Muhamed removed them all . And today isde th cbed hall thereis nothing!

Holy Kaabah, House of Allah, the first house on earth made by Adam on the design of a similar house on the sky, to
worship Allah. Later it was rebuilt by Abraham and his son
Ishmael.
It has some relics of past, especially a stone which was brought from paradise. Peopele kiss it in reverence. Whoever enters into it gets peace!

Its the Kaa'ba
According to the teachings of Islam, the Kaaba (Ka'abah, Ka'ba, Ka'bah) was originally built by Adam and later reconstructed by Ibrahim and Ismail. The Kaaba was the first house of worship built for Muslims and was the holiest place in Islam. The Kaaba was the focal point of Muslim prayers.
All Muslims worldwide turn to this cube shaped structure (Kaaba was Arabic for cube) based in the city of Makkah (Mecca) in their five daily prayers. Over the years, the Kaaba has been reconstructed or renovated several times. The Masjid al Haram mosque was build around the Kaaba.
A large masonry building fifty feet high, thirty five feet wide and forty feet long, the Kaaba was covered with the kiswa (a black silk cloth with gold-embroidered calligraphy that was replaced every year. The interior of the Kaaba has a marble floor, a cross beam from which lamps hung, a small table for incense burners, green cloth covering the top part of the walls decorated with gold embroidered Quranic verses, and marble inlaid with Quranic inscription tablets on the lower part of the walls.

It is the Kaaba, a building supposedly built by Abraham and his son, Ishmael. As Abraham is the father of Islam, it is a most holy shrine.
Most historians believe that the Kaaba housed over 300 idols from the various nomadic tribes of Arabia. Mohammad tried to organize all these tribes under one god whom he called Allah. It worked out pretty good.

Ohhh my!...CUBE?! lol...Couldn't you have been just a tad bit more articulate and used the right terminology?! Well, what I know is that there used to be idols in there a LONG time ago but now, who really knows what could be in there! The Saudis are controlling it so they'd put anything thing they'd want in there and no one would ever know! What I do know is that the CUBE you speak of is called the Holy Ka'aba!
@His Divine Shadow: Sweetheart, you will not even be allowed in Mecca to begin with if you are not a follower of the "religion of peace" called Islam...so dream on sweety, dream on....lol
