Dhul Qarnayn in Quran and Bible

 Salam.

I have no intention to complete this writing today. However, I would like to park the information here, so I can work on it later on. 

Essentially the description of Cyrus the Great and the Ram of the two horns is in the book of Daniel, one of Ketuvim (Kutubun the Books)

Zhul Qarnayn is indeed mentioned in the bible and he is definitely not Alexander the Great (who is not great really). 


It seems like there is no disagreement between biblical scholars that the Ram with two horns represent the empire of Cyrus the Great. On the other hand, this empire was destroyed by a sheep.

Ram with big horns are definitely present in Persia, while goat is definitely present in Macedonia or the empire of Alexander the great. One horn goat is not uncommon. 

Well, we gonna continue writing on this, in the future.
