Was Nebuchadnezzar's golden image a foreshadow to the image of the beast?

Well, it is worth noticing that the statue in Daniel ch3 v1 is measured in terms of the number "6"- that is, sixty cubits high and six cubits broad. That.in itself, could bring it under the idea that "6" represents humanity or something human.

Strictly speaking, it is too thin for its height to be a well-proportioned human figure (though perspective might make that less obvious from the ground). However, it is obviously something of human construction, and offered as a rival object of worship by a domineering human ruler. There is enough similarity there to the image of Revelation ch13 to make them at least part of the same theme.
