I have heard that the wise men weren't from the orient. I don't remember the whole explanation, but it said that the the wise men (who were priests of some sort) were exposed to the idea of the Messiah from old testament information that they received when the Jews were exiled in Babylon.
@carlsontechnology The word "orient" means "east". Astrology was a big part of Babylonian and Persian religion, and they were both located east of Judea.
Why did that guy need to go to Israel to realize that standing above your audience is a good way to project your voice?

If you are interested in the New Testament History, take a look at the Open Yale Course: “Introduction to New Testament (RLST 152)”
Lecture 7 – The Gospel of Matthew

Need a little help, thanks:
At 2:16 "...Matthew and Luke that relate to 'ntivity'..." I can't quite make out what he's saying there.
Very interesting videos, much appreciated!
