"The Gates of Alexander"

What did Alexander trap behind his Iron gated wall in the Caucasus
In an 18 foot pass between peaks
The breasts of the world
Pliny the Elder said divided the world
Into two portions
I'll spare you Josephus

Who are Gog and Magog
Scofield mislead Christians
To believe to be Russia
And where is this wall

Some place it at the Caspian Gates at Derbent
- the only surviving Sassanid fortress
To block the Dagestanis
Others, the wall of Khumbalgarh
In North West India, sighted by
Chinese explorer Hsien Twang

In the Travels of Marco Polo
These people are identified as Cumanians
Who meddled in the politics of the Caucuses
And infiltrated the elite of many European empires
- located farther north in Cathay,
Believed to be China

A Surat in the Qur'an attributes Alexander's Gates to Dhul-Qarnayn
- the two horned one, or one of two ages
(Became the phrase 'at wits end' in Brewer's)

In Islamic lore the wall and Gog/Magog
Known as Yajuj and Majuj
Exist in an invisible realm
Until the end of days

The Persian epic Shahnameh
Describes them as giant cannibal
Demon sorcerers called Divs
Who dwell in a land called Mazandoran
Like the child stealing demons Al
They're part of almost every single folklore
In the Middle East and Southern Europe
Except for Israel

According to the Travels of
Sir John Mandeville
These trapped entities are thought to be
The lost tribes - cursed reprobate
Sons of Cain
- many identified as Edomites or Khazars

In the end times
A fox digs a hole
Beneath Alexander's Gate
And the astonished monsters
Never seeing a fox before, follow it
To wage war on humanity
With the Antichrist

Wherever this time, place, or beings are
We're surrounded by foxes
