Arab writers referred to the Great Wall of China as the 'wall of al Magog' (Rabbi Aaron Marcus, Kesseth HaSofer, p. 112a) and this is reiterated in Papal sources noting that Magog may denote the Mongols, whose name they said came from Magogoli which they claimed was a corruption of Magog. Other ancient sources make identification of Magog as living to the north of the Black Sea (Yov'loth 9:8).
