**The earliest recorded view is from St. Justin Martyr, who insisted—nine times in a treatise he wrote around a.d. 160—that the magi were from Arabia.**

An interesting thought in today's world.

that the magi were from Arabia.

Whether from Arabia or Persia, theirs was a very different culture than that of the followers of Mad Mo.
