In the Greek version of the new testament it is stated that the they were 'magoi' which pretty much means magi. A magi back in the day, was also the name of a Zoroastrian priest. Zoroaster(Zarathustra) was an ancient prophet who was among the first to be a monotheist. Many people believe the Jewish dietary laws of Leviticus were adopted from his dietary laws. He also claimed the coming of a Messiah and talked of heaven and hell and a day of judgement. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
