Celebrated as Epiphany, the Magi arrived in Bethlehem to witness the birth of the king of the Jews: The physical manifestation of Jesus Christ to the גוים. Their number isn't mentioned in the gospel, but Western Christianity counts three of them, according to the number of gifts brought. Their origin remains a debate ...
According to the New Chronology, Melchior was even female, the מַלְכַּת שְׁבָא or ملكة سبأ, where Balthazar seems to be king, according to Hugo Kehrer. However, did the "White Tsar" rule the region between the Baltic Sea & the Balkan Peninsula, meaning "White Khanate", or "White Horde"?
That region is known for its very fertile soil: Bethlehem would be an appropriate name, opposite of Bethany, on the other side of the Black Sea. According to the New Chronology, the saviour was born in Crimea, could that be right?
The Armenian Church identifies Balthazar as king of Arabia, which might be a synonym for Europe. There Melchior is identified as king of Persia, which might mean Paris, but Johann von Hildesheim identifies him also as king of Nubia, where Caspar, according to the novel of Michel Tournier, is king of Meroë. That novelist might have been inspired by Piye, who defeated Sennacherib @ Jerusalem, or Memnon, who defeated Antilochus @ Troy, as described in Αἰθιοπίς: Might these stories be partial duplicates?
According to mainstream history, their relics have been brought from the Hagia Sophia, via Milan, finally to Cologne Cathedral. The Three Kings of Orion collinearly point, via Sirius, to the sunrise on Christmas around the Tropic of Cancer. By definition, Magi are Zoroastrian priests, so might the earthly tale, stuffed with gifts from Sheba, have been inspired by the long trek of Tiridates?
