I have just seen a documentation about the "3-Kings"

not beeing Kings, but so called "Magie" (Priests) from Persia, probably Babylon, that
brought the 3 Gifts to Jesus.
They where following an Astrological coincedence/calculation the proposed that
a "new King was born", not actually following a star.

There are so many translation and rewritings of the books of the bible, that
it is hard to say what was its original content.
