yup okay i just watched this really good documentary on discovery channel 'The Mummy Detectives: The Three Kings. i was like studying then wonder why Jason smsed me bout asking when Jesus was born so i kinda did wad he said and watched the documentary.

okay its truely enlightening lah. oh they traced it back to that Jesus was born about 6BC, didnt get to see how to trace it though. but it tallies with wad my study bible says, bout 6/8BC. well to be exact they traced it to 17th April 6BC. hmm okay.. but Christmas is SO not about to change i tell ya.. so from the route that the 3 wise men probably took, by the time they reached Bethlehem Jesus was about 8 months old? well not really proven lah, but just a rough estimation.

and it's been proven that the 3 wise men did follow a star, all the way, all the way, ALL the way to Bethleham, even after stopping to visit Herod. that star was Jupiter it says, and so happen in that period of time, Jupiter changed its course of obit to lead them RIGHT to Jesus. amazing okay.

and the bible states that the 3 wise men/3 kings were magi(s). and magi(s) were dream interpretors. so the dream about God speaking to them not to report back to Herod, yup they knew it was from God and thus, Jesus is safe and sound!!

Herod seemed to have suffered a combination of 3 diseases.. and well he did send for the killing of all the children below the age of 2. they were even showing the place where the bones were kept lah, and its still there, together with the bones of some adults.

okay here's the amazing part. u know where's the remains of the 3 kings now? in Germany!! its in this cathedral and has been there for like 8 centuries. apparently some queen went on a shopping spree and wanted to buy relics and artifacts related to Christ. so she bought the bones of the 3 wise men and put it in that cathedral, so says the painting on the cathedral, u know they even proved that the 3 wise men differed in age. one young, one middle-aged and one old! it's proven by science too lah.



okay u see that 3 stuff there. its the skulls of the 3 wise men.

eh rome claim's to have the umbilical cord of Jesus, duno where claims to have the blood of Jesus in a jar, and 3 other places claim to have the skull of John the Baptist.

well okay!! so wala. im off to studying bout the wonderful series of events that lead to merger.. i suppose.
