You are missing comprehension.  The head of gold is the Nebuchadnezzar
and the Babylonians, then there are the Persians,  then the Greeks,
then the Romans, etc., till you get to the iron mixed with miry clay,
which signify the kingdoms of modern Europe.  Most people are capable
of understanding the prophecy, but probably no atheist would be able
to do it.  The prophecy was given in 600 B.C.
