There are some who think the Wise Men were Chinese, based on the idea that it took them two years to arrive in Bethlehem (the same amount of time it would take to follow the Silk Road to the West).

Fascinating! I've heard there are traces of Christianity at various points along the Silk Road, as commercial travelers spread Christianity as far as Western China. I wonder if serious archaeological investigations could still unearth artifacts.

I am grieved that the impressive finds at Dura Europos were destroyed by ISIS in I believe 2015. :o(
