User ID: 6038128 United States 12/22/2011 09:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Ancient document sheds new light on Magi story..Magi traveled from China... An ancient document found in the Vatican archives casts new light on the story of the Nativity and the Three Wise Men who came to offer gifts to the infant Jesus, according to researchers, reports the Times, in an article published in the Australian. The Revelation of the Magi, reputedly a first-hand account of their journey to pay tribute to the son of God, only now has been translated from ancient Syriac. Brent Landau, professor of religious studies at the University of Oklahoma, spent two years deciphering the fragile manuscript. It is an eighth-century copy of a story first written down nearly half a millennium earlier, less than 100 years after the Gospel of Matthew, the original source of the Bible story. The newly translated tale differs in major respects from Matthew's very brief account. The Magi of the Bible have long been associated with Persian mystics, but those in The Revelation are from much farther afield - from the semi-mythical land of Shir, now associated with ancient China. They are said to be the descendants of Seth, the third son of Adam, and to belong to a sect that believed in silent prayer. Perhaps the biggest divergence from the traditional Nativity story is that according to The Revelation there were "scores" of Magi. It gives a detailed account of their prayers and rituals. The story relates that Seth passed down a prophecy that a star would appear that would signal the birth of God in human form. The Magi waited thousands of years until the day the star appeared.

Quoting: christian Actually if you read Matthew 2 again (or for the first time) it doesn't say there were only 3 Magi, but they gave 3 types of gifts, Gold Frankincense and Myrrh. The BIBLE actually says the ENTIRE CITY WAS TROUBLED by the arrival fo the Magi..... Jerusalem had an estimated population of +- 1,000,000 at any given time. For a city that large to be "troubled" means many more than 3 Magi asking for the directions to the Messiah! They traveled in large caravans back then so they could travel in safety. It actually substantiates the story of the bible.

The Magi were no more than the three Stars that make-up the constellation Orion's belt. And they follow the Star Sirius during the winter months. Christmas is just a Pagan ritual for observing the winter Solstice, or the start of winter. [link to rd47blog.blogspot.com]
