There are rumors that he is Alexander The Great, his name meaning "The Two Horned One", but they both lived in different time periods. There are also scholars who say he is/was Cyrus The Great. I was wondering, any chance of him being Saladin (Salahuddin)?
I subscribe to the view that Gog & Magog are the vast Turkic/Mongolic nations of Eurasia. The dam that was built by Dhul-Qarnain عليه السلام does not exist anymore.
Hudaifah b. al-Yaman narrates: I asked Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) about Yagog and Magog. He said: "Yagog is a nation and Magog is a nation, and each nation consists of 400,000 nations." (Mu'jam al-Awsat, Tabarani)
يَشْرَبُونَ أَنْهَارَ الْمَشْرِقِ ، وَبُحَيْرَةَ طَبَرِيَّةَ "They will drink up the rivers of the East, and the Lake of Tiberias (Sea of Galilee)" (Ibid)

As far as I know, Nuh (alayhis salatuassalam) had 3 believing sons: Sam, Ham and Yafith. From Sam came the West Asians (including Caucasians but excluding Georgians,Armenians & Azeris), from Ham the Africans as well as the Dravirs of Southern India and from Yafith came the Altaics, Indo Europeans, East Asians, Amerindians, South East Asians and Oceanians (excluding here the English (who are also his descendants) and Australo Melanesian ones). But from the latter son Yafith, also came the Yajuj-Majuj and Tharis-Taqil. So Yajuj-Majuj are humans who were psionically made "mad-zombies". They were concealed with a wall by Dhul Qarnayn, a descendant of Sam.
