well he wasn't more "logical" or anything, the same reasons he posted above on how Alexander the Great cant be Zulgarneen applies with Cyrus the Great.

add to that Alexander conquered more than Cyurs the great did, which makes Alexander a better candidate for being Zulalgarneen than Cyrus, and Dont forget the Horn thing which Alexander the Great had on his helmet.

and as i said earlier that Alexander option was already discussed by many islamic scholars who proved that he is Not Zulqarneen.

so the better candidate were proven Not the one mentioned in the Quran.

so i guess we should wait for any new discoveries about a person lived in the ancient time who reached East and West.

hmm maybe, the problem with religious text is they are always open to interpertation and we all take usually a different view from it.

Alexander is highly unlikely, specially since he is disliked through out the east. Maybe it was a different King all together who knows.
