What is the 10 horns spoken in the Bible Daniel about?
Daniel 7:
24 The 10 horns are 10 kings who will rise from this kingdom. Another, different from the previous ones, will rise after them and subdue three kings.
25 He will speak words against the Most High and oppress the holy ones of the Most High. He will intend to change religious festivals and laws, and the holy ones will be handed over to him for a time, times, and half a time.

A time here has its original ʻiddân, id-dawn'; (Aramaic) from a root corresponding to technically, a year:—time. Times is thus 2 years Half a time is thus half a year.
So Daniel is saying this little horn will be in rule for 3.5 years OR 1,260 days based on Jewish days

Gen. 1:14
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years,"
The fact that the prophets understood a year as 360 days is well attested. God created the sun to mark the seasons and years. He made the moon to mark the days.
There are:
354.37 days in a lunar year (of 12 moons/months), and
365.24 days in a solar year;
Together they average 360 days.

Jesus used this method to prophesy about his work, death and resurrection:
Luke 13:31 At that time some Pharisees came and told Him, "Go, get out of here! Herod wants to kill You!" 32 He said to them, "Go tell that fox, 'Look! I'm driving out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete My work.'
At this time, Jesus has not completed His work. In fact He just started His ministry. At this time, He is not going to just heal today and tomorrow and complete His work on the 3rd day. So when He said TODAY, TOMORROW and the THIRD DAY, He is prophesying each of this DAY is actually 1 YEAR. Because He finished His work in about 3 years time.
Numbers 14:34 used the same illustration, as also in Ezekiel 4:5-6
For forty years—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.’
