16:14
the identity of dul carnine has been a subject of much debate and speculation among historians and Scholars some have
16:21
suggested that he could be Alexander the Great based on similarities in the stories and
16:26
descriptions others propose Cyrus the great as a more likely candidate given his reputation as a just and wise ruler
16:33
who constructed significant infrastructure exploring the historical context of these figures provides
16:39
fascinating insights into the possible origins of the Dual car9 legend by examining ancient records inscriptions
16:46
and archaeological findings we can piece together a more detailed picture of who
16:51
DL carnine might have been and how his story has been shaped over time
17:00
Alexander the Great the Macedonian conqueror who created one of the largest empires in ancient history is one of the
17:07
most popular candidates for DL carine the connection between Alexander and D carine is often drawn from the
17:14
depiction of Alexander in various historical and legendary sources in particular the Alexander romance a
17:21
collection of Fantastical stories about Alexander's Adventures Bears striking resemblances to The konic Narrative of
17:27
DL carain Alexander's campaigns took him to the edges of the known world and his
17:33
encounters with various peoples and cultures may have contributed to the legend surrounding him the quran's
17:38
description of duul carine's travels to the east and west his construction of a barrier to contain Troublesome tribes
17:45
and his wise and just rule Echo themes found in Tales of Alexander's exploits
17:51
however the portrayal of Alexander in these sources is often idealized blending historical facts with myth and
17:58
Legend making it challenging to draw direct
18:05
correlations Cyrus the Great the founder of the ained Empire is another prominent
18:11
figure suggested as the historical duul carnine Cyrus is celebrated for his achievements in governance
18:18
infrastructure and human rights exemplified by the Cyrus cylinder which some consider the first Charter of Human
18:24
Rights his reputation as a benevolent and effective ruler aligns well with the quranic depiction of duul carain as a
18:32
just and wise leader Cyrus's Empire spanned a vast territory and his efforts
18:38
to build and maintain infrastructure including roads and defensive structures
18:44
support the notion that he might have inspired the duul carain legend additionally some Scholars point
18:51
to the historical accounts of Cyrus's interactions with various peoples and his policies of Tolerance and protection
18:57
as further Evidence of his potential identification with duul
19:07
carain the legend of duul carain likely emerged from a blend of historical
19:13
events cultural exchanges and oral Traditions as the stories of Alexander
19:18
the Great and Cyrus the Great were transmitted across different regions and generations they were adapted and
19:24
embellished merging with local Legends and beliefs in in the context of the
19:29
Quran dul carnan's story serves as a moral and spiritual lesson emphasizing
19:35
themes of Justice Divine guidance and the protection of vulnerable communities the identification of duul
19:42
carnine with historical figures like Alexander and Cyrus adds depth to our
19:47
understanding of how these narratives were shaped by the cultural and historical milu of the time the identity
19:53
of dcar 9 remains a subject of ongoing debate and exploration whether he is best represented by Alexander the Great
19:59
Cyrus the Great or another historical figure the story of dul carine offers

20:27
heritage imagine standing before an ancient towering barrier its Stones weathered by the passage of Millennia
20:34
according to Legend this wall was constructed by dul carain to contain the Fearsome tribes of Gog and
20:41
Magog the Quran describes this barrier as a tremendous structure made of iron and copper built between two mountains
20:48
to prevent the destructive forces of yaju and maju from wreaking havoc on the world historians and archaeologists have
20:56
long speculated about the real life count counterparts to this legendary wall some theories suggest that the
21:02
Great Wall of China with its vast length and ancient Origins might have inspired
21:08
or been conflated with the tales of duar 9's wall others point to less well-known
21:15
structures in Central Asia and the Caucasus region where ancient walls and fortifications bear similarities to the
21:21
descriptions found in religious texts
21:30
the Great Wall of China is one of the most famous defensive structures in the world stretching thousands of miles
21:35
across Northern China its construction began in the 7th Century BC and continued for centuries evolving into
21:42
the Monumental wall we recognize today due to its impressive scale and historical significance some have
21:49
speculated that it might be linked to the legend of dul carnan's barrier while the Great Wall of China is an
21:55
extraordinary feat of engineering its time line and geographical location make it an unlikely direct match for d
22:02
carnan's wall the wall described in the Quran is depicted as being built between
22:07
two mountains in a more remote and less well- documented area rather than in the well-known regions of
22:18
China in contrast ancient fortifications in Central Asia and the Caucasus region
22:24
offer intriguing possibilities the walls of deer bent in Russia for example are strategically
22:30
located at a narrow pass between the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus Mountains
22:36
these ancient fortifications dating back to the 5th Century ad were crucial in
22:42
defending against invasions and controlling trade routes similarly the Gorgon wall in Iran is an ancient
22:49
fortification stretching over 200 kilm built during the sesanian Empire this
22:55
wall served as a defensive barrier against the nomadic tribes from the north the Gorgon Wall's extensive length
23:02
and construction techniques bear similarities to the descriptions of duul carnan's barrier leading some Scholars
23:08
to propose it as a possible origin of the
23:15
legend the exploration of these historical structures and their contexts reveals a fascinating interplay between
23:21
myth and reality ancient societies often memorialized their defensive efforts and
23:27
challenges through Legends and religious texts blending historical events with symbolic narratives for example the
23:34
impressive scale and enduring nature of structures like the Gorgon wall and the walls of derbent may have inspired or
23:40
been woven into the mythological framework of duul carnan's barrier these fortifications not only served practical
23:47
purposes but also became part of the cultural and historical Heritage of their regions influencing local Legends
23:53
and religious stories by examining these real world structures and their historical contexts we gain a deeper
24:00
understanding of how ancient peoples interpreted and commemorated their efforts to defend against perceived
24:06
threats this investigation highlights the Practical challenges faced by ancient Builders and the enduring power
24:12
of myth in shaping our perception of History the search for the historical basis of dual car 9's wall illuminates

25:06
them Herodotus often referred to as the father of History provides one of the earliest known accounts of the cians and
25:13
other nomadic tribes in his seminal work histories although he does not specifically mention Gog and Magog his
25:20

25:25

25:31
formidable warriors with expansive territories reflecting the type of formidable adversaries That Could Have
25:37
Become enshrined in Legend his accounts of the cians lifestyle their conflicts
25:42

in the medieval period Travelers like Marco Polo and iban batuta brought back stories from their extensive Journeys
26:05
that further fueled fascination with Gog and MOG Marco Polo the Venetian explorer who
26:12
traveled through Asia in the 13th century recounted Tales of a region near the Caspian Sea where he claimed the
26:18

spreading them across different cultures Polo's account of the wall and the tribes Beyond it reflects a blend of
26:37
historical reality and imaginative storytelling his tales filled with
26:42
wonder and exoticism contributed to the myth's persistence in European thought

inspired the stories of duul carnan's wall one prominent example is the Gorgon wall in Iran an extensive ancient
29:17
fortification stretching over 200 kilm its sophisticated construction and
29:22
strategic significance provide a tangible link to the kinds of barriers described in the leg
29:29
the Gorgon wall built during the sesanian Empire served as a defensive barrier against the nomadic tribes from
29:35
the north and shares similarities with the descriptions of duul carnan's wall
