- The story of the nativity is actually a blend of both the gospels of Luke and Matthew. They reveal the significance of the gifts carried by the three kings, as well as clues to their origins and symbolism.
From: REAL JESUS OF NAZARETH: The Lost Years

There were MANY, not just 3 wise men searching for the New Born King, but there were 3 gifts given which were gold, frankincense, and myrrh!!
Exactly the Magi would have needed many to carry the caravan to bring all these things to Bethlehem and I believe Jesus was born in September ,cause they wouldn't be traveling in the winter time.
Three gifts doesn’t mean three wise men. How can the Smithsonian get it so wrong with the title.
Michael H. Could you please provide a source for your comment?
@@tiredofscammers Matthew chapter 2 verses 1 through 12. Matthew makes no reference to how many wise men visited Baby JESUS but does make reference to 3 major gifts which is Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh!
@@michaelh.4535 I agree with you I just thought maybe you had a special book or some type of literature that you read that you were referring to.
These gifts are of significant purpose, because of their value they were going to be needed as safe hiding from King Herod and passage back it was extremely dangerous for Joseph, Mary and Jesus...Jesus was being hunted! Herod's army had one thing on their minds and that was not to cuddle the sweet young child "He was not wanted alive his whole life!"
I have always believe this (as you have said)..simple. Mary and Joseph went into 'exile' and had everything they needed to live for a period. GOD took care of them.
It's interesting to know what they actually stood for. Also their acknowledgement that Jesus was not just a normal baby... But someone who was set apart for greater things. Also just how far back the reading of and significance of the nightly stars and reading of them was.
If Balthasar was played by James Earl Jones who was the same person who played Darth Vader than it would have been funny if Balthasar seen the baby Jesus and then said "The force is strong with this one"
😂😂😂
@Gordon Gartrell 😎
Definitely strong😄
JEJ was 1/2 Darth Vader since he was the voice.
@@spaseristov37 Infinitely strong. The Force originated from Him.
Frankincense and myrh are grown in Somalia Ethiopia and Southern Yemen primarily (horn of Africa and Gulf of Aden) these locations are all East of Israel...these wise men were from there.
Africa
The getty museum has a painting of Balthasar. In it he is black it also says that Europeans purposely portrayed him as white for political reasons.
15 INKS
🧺 Baskets.
And the gold came from central Africa
Exactly whole book is about Africa white people never say that lol
The clips of the wise men is from Jesus of Nazareth
The nativity story on amc brought me here with curiosity of who the wise men were
The bible did not mention how many magi were there, it only mentioned that they brought 3 different kinds of gifts : gold, myrrh, frankincense.. and they did not meet the shepherds in the manger the night Jesus was born.
Read Luke 2:1-20
In Matt. 2: 11The family was already in a house when they arrived to present their gifts to Jesus.
Lie told by the catholics that they were three and they are kings...
Wrong, it depends on which version you read...
@@IXSuperRadGamerXI All bible version tells the same story, then tell me which version that tells about three kings?
I LIKE THIS insightful presentation
The Bible actually doesnt say there were three wise men, it only says there were three different gifts. It could have been more.
Danielle D , I was about to say the same thing. I think people assume there were three wise men because of the three gifts mentioned.
They all could have had the same gift, some could have come empty handed...lol
Tab Blu , nope......cause that wasn’t God’s plan. Don’t forget,.....His plans are PERFECT!! 😉
Actually it depends on which version. Some clearly state there are 3 wise men from the far east and some of them do not.
@@IXSuperRadGamerXI what version that there 3 wise men and they are kings?
According to tradition, the Magi were Zoroastrian priests. As part of their culture, they would have followed the patterns of the stars. "The sign of the invisible heaven must needs be revealed in the person of that perfect man who, before each Manifestation appeareth, educateth, and prepareth the souls of men for the advent of the divine Luminary, the Light of the unity of God amongst men." - Baha’u’llah, The Book of Certitude
I think the introductory sequence of the Life of Brian does the best job of explaining it.
Funny how we only spread the symbolism as far as we understand it. As an aspiring astrologer i see the 3 kings as the 3 stars on Orion belt that seem to follow the northern start every Christmas towards the sun. Next Christmas go look up during early sun rise! Watch the 3 kings follow a bright star leading them seemingly in to the sun. And The gifts being very symbolic of giving what is needed in life thru to death. After learning ancient astrology the bible reads like a different book. It reads more like Stories of what happends while/when the Sun goes through Galilee...the wheel.
Why do you call Galilee the wheel?
Where or how did you start to study astrologer?
This makes so much sense because when we read in revelations astrology was referred to as well….
Excellent
I’m fascinated by the wise men’s story.
-Me T00.
Astronomy studies start in Ethiopia. We have written documents,. Even three constellations of 88 are named by Ethiopian king , queen and their daughter Andromeda. Three wise men are also from Ethiopia.
THREE WISE MEN! JESUS CHRIST LIVES! ☄️🎁🙏👍👍✨✨✨
I wonder what movie these clips are from. Anyway it's an interesting presentation.
The simple reason Luke and Matthew differ is because both refer to events of different years. Luke referenced the birth of Jesus titled Christ. The shepherds came the night Christ was born. It was a year later when the Magi came, because the baby boys killed by Herod were "two years old or less". In other words, Matthew indicated the star the Magi had seen, appeared from a year before.
It still amazes me how so many atheist get upset and offended by something they believe is not real.... It means they have a fear that it might be real and they are just too afraid to admit it. You don't get upset about something that you truly believe is not true.
This is the most idiotic thing I've read today. These beliefs affect me and everyone around me to varying extents. It doesn't matter whether it's true or not (it's not) people believe it is true and let that affect their lives and the lives of others.
And the only thing I would be offended by is the sheer ignorance of some people believing such nonsense and basing their entire lives around it.
Never seen a unicorn. So by your logic they must be real
@@GOOB3000 blind faith my friend
@@GOOB3000 Never seen a half man half ape so evolution must be correct. Stop using double standards to criticize christianity dumbass. Evolution requires the same amount of blind faith as any other religion. Christianity has more historical evidence for its claims then does evolution.
demigodzilla and were alarmed and disgusted by carnal minded, fruitless workers of darkness like you. Don’t worry, you’ll eat those words on judgement day.
I'm here because of spanish class
At 0:06, this Smithsonian video makes a deliberately misleading statement, "But Matthew tells a very different story," implying that the account of Matthew contradicts that of Luke's account (of shepherds in the field). There is no contradiction; the two accounts are of two separate events: the Nativity, and the arrival of the kings from the east, months later. Neither the accounts of Luke or Matthew conflate or juxtapose these two separate events. Now unprofessional of Smithsonian.
Could you just make a new version
The Smithsonian is not being unprofessional, but God only reveals His secrets to those who seek and trust Him Psalm 25:14. Deuteronomy 29:29; Romans 16:25-26; Colossians 1:26 etc.
@@ronkebarber6238 I agree with the verse you cited, however what I pointed out was not a matter of "revealing," rather just plain reading. They said something that was incorrect, and misleading. They implied that there was a contradiction, which might in cast doubt on the veracity of the two versions. When there was no contradiction.
@@Celtokee You can find out your own truth and hold on to it. We each must make account for what we know, and He will judge accordingly. Also bear in mind that the bible is full of hidden mysteries. Deuteronomy 29:29. We search by ourselves John 5:39, and He gives us the understanding Matthew 13:11. He will not reveal His secrets to anyone that has no relationship with Him Psalm 25:15; Romans 16:25-26; Colossians 1:26 etc.
@@Celtokee also, could please outline these contradictions?
Draped down with an eye on all history books and the throne.
Balthasar of Arabia, Melchior of Persia, and Gaspar of India. Good Job to the 3 Kings are good heart.God bless us all😇🤗😍😘
There weren't from those countries. LOL!
The three wise men came from the far east following the stars of the east. Rich in gold, frankensence and myrrh.
Bible never mentioned these names...
There is highly eveidence they came from horn Africa especially Somalia
What movie is that?
The only thing that amazes me about this video is the utter nonsense found in the commentary section.
Then u correct them Socrates.
How do you understand the three wise men ?
You don’t. Because I can’t find anywhere in the Bible where it referred to 3.
What is the movie's title, please ?
Fracankinceses & Myrths native tress which are only in Horn of African(90% puntland-Somalia &small part of Ethiopian & Arabian peninsula.
These Magis were from the “EAST” means east of the Jordan River. This means they came from Arabia not Persia. The Bedouin tribes in Jordan for millennia have a well known tradition that their ancestors traveled to worship Jesus. They were called the Al-Kokabani.
Persia is farther east of the Jordan River than Arabia.
The 3 wise men were somalis.
Thank you for researching this, Smithsonian! Thank you for being objective :)
Please caption this video!
Gold is also the color of God's Glory. Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh were all present is solomons temple.
What of the Halo? Google Crown Chakra.
Why do you believe Luke's account of the shepherds and Matthew's account of the three wise men are the same account?
I think they refer to them as 3 wise men because the prophet Isaiah prophesied about 3 wise men greeting Jesus after his birth back in the Old Testament.
Isaiah 60:3?
Wisemen still seek Him!🌴🌠🐪✝️
It does not say in Matthew’s Gospel or in any other place in the Bible that they were three people… it has been simply assumed because of the three gifts mentioned.
Where’s Balthazar from?
Doctor some said...
So for
Now just StarFall Awaiting
Wow love it!
So the number of wise men is actually not known? The only reason we say three wise men is because the number of gifts was three?
right
What is the name of the three kings?
Balthasar, Melchior, and Gaspar
The Magi (the "wise men") were men of Jewish descent left in Persia from the time of the Jewish exile into what was then known as Babylon.
The 3 Kings were from the Ethiopian or Somalian regions of Africa
@@LiteofMindthey were from somali not Ethiopia
Candida??
I think they misspelled her name.
Gotta love when a group of whites get together to analyze Black History.
They came from the East which was "China".
Hence Chinese at that time were dark black Fujian.
Wise men were called Mohren Magus "Dark Black Multiracial Aboriginals" or "Pagans".
King Baltazar was the King of Macedonia and the ruler of Black People.
Surprise, the Baltic gets it's name from Balthazar.
Myrrh = winter/Shem, gold = spring/Japheth, and frankincense = summer/Ham. The three seasons of the year (as in Sol Om ON).
Myrrh = winter/Shem, gold = spring/Japheth, and frankincense = summer/Ham.
Myrrh is found only in one country and frankincense too but certainly not Persia . It is Somalia

James looks superyoung here.
So where did they go afterwards? Was there something more important to move on to? Why leave? Why never come back? Why not show up later and vouch for him?
No one answered you for two years, so I will give it a try.
They went back to where they came from. They did not live there, nor did they want to. That is why they went back home. It would be no different than for you to go to Disneyland in California, say, and then you go back home. Why would you want to stay and live there. Your life/job, and all your relatives and friends are back home. As far as why they didn't go back, that was 33 years later, and many of them, or all, could have died. Or they could have been too old to travel. It was hundreds of miles from their homes.
without assumptions, it is widely accepted not every account was written in the compiled scriptures making up the Bible. What remains recorded were apparently so due to the direct link they had to explain certain events. So, they might have returned or might not have ever returned, but then we have no record of that. Their return was necessary considering they simply explored for the reason to come worship one whose star they saw. Seeing him and the dream they had not to report back to Herod was enough reason to have news to share back at home with friends and family members they left at home.

Zoroastrian magi anointing JESUS with good thoughts, good deeds and good purpose.
JESUS NT title- KURIOS is Cyrus I’m Greek meaning : Sun of Righteousness!
That true they were Zoroastrian
Yeshua The Messiah
They’re not Persians. Nor were they Iranians/Parthians. Zoroastrianism doesn’t believe in Jesus. However, it does preach belief in a messiah figure called the Saoshyant who will renovate the world & perfect it but this figure is prophesied to come from the blood/seed of Zoroaster and Jesus was Jewish, not Indo-Iranian.
The Bible does say they are kings. They came from the Orient/Far East (which the Bible refers to as “the ends of the earth), specifically the Philippines (which the Bible refers to as “the isles” or “Ophir, Sheba and Tarshish,” the 3 main islands. They were Hebrews, sons of Joktan (from the line of Eber, Salah, Arpachshad, Shem) who came back to their homeland to pay homage to their Messiah.
Read Psalm 72 KJV and you’ll find the answer.
...8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. 9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. 10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba shall offer gifts...”
Why the Massacre of the Innocents (2 year olds)? Because Yahusha Jesus was already 2 when they finally arrived.
They came by way of the ships of Tarshish. They traveled by sea for the first leg of the journey, which takes a year and a half from the isles to the port in Ezion-Geber. From there they rode camels and traveled by land.
This is the same route that the Queen of Sheba took when she journeyed from Sheba to visit Solomon and gave him gold to build the temple.
I often wonder, if Zoroaster was actually Abraham?? 🤔
Persians were never iranians. They were elamites. The iranians or aryans came from the north and central parts of asia and later inhabited persia
I think you have half right because they teach me in school that they travelled very long to find King. But from my understanding the king was already born when they started to find him. Because they started to travel once they heard about king being born. I dont know why chruch wants us to believe they were there at Christ birth. . Anyways it took them very much time to find him. I mean location where he was. But later on in New Testament why then Holy Spirit didint allow to apostoles to spread God word there. So they were either from Africa or Persia. Or which kingdom at that time was strong.
Who said they where 3?
And Mathew was saying the story if Jesus as a king..
Who said there were three wise men, Matt 2:1 states the wise men
Now imagine if you had actually watched the whole video.
Gold for the king, Frankincense for the priest,Myrrh for the profit, Jesus is profit, priest and king.
It is spelled prophet
Ii wonder if the gifts given to Jesus, didn’t represent a “ Gift “ per se… so much as what we would consider today as a scholarship…the gold was the resource to travel, and a supply of frankincense and myrrh, were medicines. With which to heal
The Wise men were first mentioned in Daniel 2 wherein their necks were saved by Daniel by interpreting the forgotten dream of Nebuchadnezzar during his 2nd year as King of Babylon. The golden i,mage that Nebuchadnezzar dreamed was the Timeline of the Times of the Gentile dominion over the holy site of in Jerusalem. Babylon captured Jerusalem in 597 BC but the rise of Nebuchadneesar was 11 years earlier in 618 BC. The total Gentile Dominion over Jerusalem will be 66 times 40 years or 2640 years. The Gentile Dominion will end on December 11, 2023 before the start of the Millennium Reign of Christ Jesus.
On October 24, 620 BC, there was this triple conjunction of Jupiter with Regulus and the Magi attributed this great conjunctions to Nebuchadnezzar. After Daniel saved the Magi, Daniel became the head of the Magis. Maybe, Daniel corrected their interpreation of the Jupiter-Regulus triple conjunction to the coming of the Messiah. After 12 years, the 2nd part of the triple conjunction of Jupiter came on September 22, 608 BC and the dream of Nebuchadnezzar was in 603 BC. This was the 40th two-part conjunctions and Daniel gave them another 7 more conjunction before the Messiah will be born. The 47th part 1 was on October 5, 15 BC and the part 2 was on September 14, 3 BC, three days after Jesus was born and 600 years after Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. The 2nd conjunction was on February 17, 2 BC and 3rd conjunction was on May 9, 2 BC. On August 31, 2 BC, Tishri 1, at Jesus 1st birthday, the Magi left the Persian court where they work as astrologers and King's adviser and took a 112-day or 16 Sabbaths caravan journey to Jerusalem. They arrived in Jerusalem at the start of the Festival of Light, Hanukkah on December 23rd, 2 BC. They were invited to Herod's Palace on December 24, 2 BC. On the first Christmas, the Magis presented their gifts of gold for wealth, myrrh for good health and frankincense for offering to Yahweh to the First Family. At this time, Jesus was already one year and 3 months old. They dressed up like Magi and escaped to Egypt at their caravan on December 26th. On December 28, 2 BC, on the New Moon, was the killing of all 2 year and under kids in Bethlehem, from the rising of Jupiter at sunrise on on July 20, 3 BC. Unto this day, December 28 is called Ninos Inocentes.
On December 24th, 2 BC, the rising of Jupiter in the east was at 10:15 pm and the Magi saw its rising and they were glad as they step outside the palace of Herod. By 5 AM, Jupiter was on its peak mid-point in the sky and it started to go to southwest position. By the dawn of sunrise at 5:30 AM, Jupiter started to go down towards the south-west direction and if you plot its position to the horizon, it points directly to the Bethlehem area where Jesus was born. It was the first Christmas on December 25, 2 BC.
As a young man born of fornication, Jesus Bar Mitzvah was at 12 year old, like the Jewish girls today. When it was the turn of the kids from Bethlehem were called, he was all alone. And yet, even while alone with the scribes and Pharisees, Jesus got lots of questions to them. He was not like John the Baptist who was born with the holy spirit already on him, so as a young boy of body and soul, he was allowed to ask question at the time of Bar Mitzvah. This was how the Levites in the Temple knew that this was the boy that the killing of two-year olds was done in Bethlehem at Hanukkah 2 BC. Jesus was all alone but still his parents got tired waiting for him and eventually, they were carried with their religious obligations and they had forgotten who was taking care of Jesus.
Alfonso Leyson : curious to know where did you get this info from? Seems kinda precise (sorta)? Would be interesting to read more on this if you could provide a link that’d be awesome.
hitoyota4runners I first read it from Jesus Christ Our Promised Seed by Victor Paul weirwille. The other things, I made it up
Thanks for the honesty, I appreciate it & also for Thanks for the read, I will be looking into that book! 😊🤙🏽
What might be more important to realize, is that frankincense and myrrh are potent, naturopathic medicine. The wise men, were drawn to, what indians consider a brahmin. His ascribed miracles, are that of a priest of old: a healer, astronomer, arbitrator, a memory the autocratic Romans erased. Hence the dark ages.
beautiful
Earth Angel yes, beautiful story...hard to think that it could be only a story...symbolic and full of messages
anyone else here bc of Spanish hw?
Yup.
Maybe the star was, 8 pointed…
Myrrh? What is that anyways?

They were somali because we produce world largest frankincense and myrrh gold 😊😊
Don’t bother reading the comments. Don’t say you weren’t warned ;)

For some reason i thought they were from Somali or the Horn of Africa specially if u look at the gifts
Youre missing the theological aspects. You give Gold to a King, Frankincense to a Priest a Myrrh to a Prophet. Its Jesus and his triune position as Messiah/Christ. Magi were Persians from the East who were calculating since the days of Captivity the coming Messiah and he was born in Bethlehem which means house of Bread.

It didn't really give an understanding other than saying where they think they're from, what they gave and that's it
The wisemen were the Chaldeans of Babylon (Persia) Daniel was the leader of the Chaldean 500 years before. They would’ve had all of his writings and the prophecies of the messiah. They would’ve seen the new star and understood exactly what was happening.
You don't read your Bible read the Isaiah and Psalm for clues who are the wisemen of the East for they are the true worshippers of YAHUAH and visiting YAHUSHA on his birth...
The three wise men were buddhist monks from Tibet area (way east), looking for the next "dalai lama". The items they brought are typical of buddhist praying. They were philosophical therefore appeared very wise. You never see three kings traveling together. Only one king for one kingdom. And kings would not make that kind of trip to anoint an unknown child, they would send people. Jesus then learned from the monks, hence his teachings are closer to buddhist teachings than judaism. And maybe, just maybe, the red robe of jesus is the same as those of the Tibetan monks'

Was looking for this comment 👌🏾
the gold at that time was NOT the metal... it was Tumeric. At that time in the land Tumeric held more value. All these 3 gifts are the most powerful of all herbs in healing. In fact at that time Tumeric was referred to as 'gold'.
No it wasn't. This being the Eastern Roman Empire at the time the language used to describe it in the texts is ancient Greek (Ptolemaic) is "ινδικό κύπειρο." Which means Indian (Hindi) Cypress. It was never referred to as gold beyond anecdotal accounts of it being described as being gold in color. Not in comparison.
Since when is the Smithsonian a Bible expert? Atheists cannot comment on what they don't believe.
Exactly!
They can analyze the Bible though...
Anyone can comment on anything. And having studied it, speak with authority. It's believers you cannot trust.
Perfect image of James earl Jones that's our people the nation of Israel
The wise men undoubtedly were Ethiopians because Ethiopians were the only people who accepted the Old Testament way earlier than birth of the Christ. It was the time most people in the world were idolatry. In fact there was idolatry in Ethiopia too, but most dominantly Ethiopians would believe in God and would worship him in adherence with Torah(mosaic law). And who else do you think could they be? Egyptians? Indians? Chinese? Romans? Persians? Arabians? Or who? All of these were idolatry back then, but Ethiopians have a long history of worshiping God. Even the ancient Old Testament temples do still exist today; in fact some of them have been transformed to the New Testament Churches for example we can mention Axum Zion of Saint Mary Church which is believed to be where Ark of the covenant dwells in.
Furthermore, Ethiopia or East Africa is where there is abundance of frankincense, Myrrh and Gold. Especially frankincense is what Ethiopians still use in their day to day life. It is also a present every one gives especially to churches.
Psalm 68:31
Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
thought Ethiopia was South of Jerusalem , not EAST. ?
This video excerpt is interesting, but still misrepresents & misinforms. Like Frankincense, Myrrh isn't an herb; maybe there are varieties extracted or cultivated from herbal species, but they would be mislabeled since genuine products are actually derived from tree resins, such as, respectively, the Boswellia & Commiphora genera. The entomology is also dubious & during that era they would not be called such since "Frankincense" is an European derivation (likely altered through the Bible's history & interpretation); the English word Frankincense derives from the Old French expression '"franc encens", meaning "high-quality incense". The word franc in Old French meant "noble" or "pure", I believe the vid alludes to that. Also, in the vid the items presented as Frankincense & Myrrh were obviously processed since using dye for coloration that provides further appeal for market; chemical additives in processing is a prevalent issue, maybe at times benign but can be deceptive & harmful, especially in food.
Astronomy studies start in Ethiopia. We have written documents,. Even three constellations of 88 are named by Ethiopian king , queen and their daughter Andromeda. Do not falsify history. Three wise men are also from Ethiopia.
Luke does not tell a “very different story” (presumedly implying non-truths). In contrast to the stable in which Jesus was born (Luke 2), Jesus’ family now lived in a house. This shows that the magi visited Jesus after the visit of the shepherds described by Luke.
I think the story is misused for Christmas. It was 3 well off strangers helping a homeless family. And if so, it makes the USA's holiday a completely unethical self indulgent event. I'm only using usa because I don't know how others celebrate the day.
The 3wise men Kratos and his friends
The bible says that a sacrifice is a sweet smelling aroma to God and without blood there can be no forgiveness of sin. When Jesus was born, the Maggi brought him Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. These last two are taken by injuring a tree and using the sap that oozes. In the same way Jesus was beaten beyond recognition. He was bruised and His blood that was spilled is the seal of a new covenant in which God will forgive men their many sins. In order for men to be able to live forever, God instituted a law and anyone who broke the law should be put to death. God cannot go back on his law. So, how does a loving God show mercy to his creation? He punishes one for the sins of many and thereby whoever takes on the name of Jesus has already been punished for his sins. The sacrifice that Jesus went through on our behalf was done on His own free will. This is the proof oh how much He loves us and does not wish for any to perish but have eternal life. His sacrifice, like Frankincense and Myrrh is a sweet smelling aroma to God.
Smithsonian hmmm, who ever read "three" kings?
Wise men in the east it means they are from japan... But japan is not a christian majority..
They get to the point at 2:50. The rest is fluff and you can skip it.
