It was some wise guys from Sicily.
See the ‘The Star of Bethlehem’ on youtube. The Chaldean wise men did visit Yeshua on this date, when Yeshua was about two years old.
Yeshua was born on Yom Teruah, Day of Trumpets, 3BC. Some think the signs preceded Him and He was actually born later during the same Fall Feast time-frame, on the 1st day of Feast of Booths.
