In the foundalis link you sent, under 1.2, it quotes Quran Chapter 18 and goes on to discuss the verses in it. It discusses Dhul Qarnayn's travels. Therefore I sent my blogpost' link. I have presented my study and interpretation of other aspects of Chapter 18 also in my blog listed under blog archive. I sent that link just as an example. If you find the approach not critical enough, perhaps you can do it in a more scientific manner, if it interests you. I can critically try to understand the Quran, looking up meanings and science research on the topic, but I cannot take the falsifiable approach simply because I'm convinced that the Arabic text of the Quran is from God, the Master-Creator, while scientific knowledge is what we are discovering. So, for me personally, the scripture takes precedence.
