	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks Calpernia. Zul-Qarnain - What is the argument? by Jochen Katz I have never claimed that Zul-Qarnain is the historical Alexander the Great. I don't know why your move to agree with me in this is considered a rebuttal... The argument is then that the Qur'anic story is clearly taken from the legends about Alexander. There are many many details of the Qur'an account which are nearly verbatim to be found in the Alexander legends. Conclusion: Zul-Qarnain clearly is the Alexander the Great of the legend stories. And because the Qur'an presents the material from the legends as if this were history, it shows that Muhammad could not distinguish between legends and history when he incorporated this material in the Qur'an. This is evidence that the Qur'an is not of divine origin. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
