Who were the three wise men that visited Christ(pbuh)?

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?

I thought that the three wise men were from India.

All yogi masters who had forseen the birth of Jesus and his significance.

I ran across this whilst researching an unrelated topic.

Scroll down to: "The Visit of the Magi".

Yet another interesting view.

One of the 3 was my great uncle Habib. He brought Jesus some fooly sic subwoofers.

One of them was an Amway distributor, another had an appointment in Samarra and got lost, I dunno about the third.

They weren't wise enough to know what a baby really wants. IE: Mary's tit.

Guenon points out that the gifts they bestow on Jesus make it clear he is to be both priest and king.

(Yes, I no longer quit. I kinda likethis Muslim kid, and I found out my cousin posts in this forum)

What is this "pbuh" business anyway?

It might be like, Arabic for something like, "May His blessing be upon them." Certain people, when you mention them, you follow their name with a blessing out of reverence. Kind of like how old aunts or people in the Soprano's, when they say the name of a dead person, they follow it with, "God rest his soul," or "Bless his soul," or "May he rest in peace," I think.
