@teksox45 Correction, Matthew 2:
"1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him... 11 And when they were come into the house...and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

@teksox45 hey dipshit, the bible NUMBERS the gifts, at THREE. And there is a traditional Christian song entitled "WE THREE KINGS." SO shut up.

this video was ok, it makes the same mistake that most every other utube vid makes with regards to the orgins of judeo-christian theology, a over emphasis on the astrology. was astrotheology important to ancient people? yes, but by the end of the axial age it was vastly less central in all of religious thought in the majority of the ancient world.
