What seems like a fictional account, the author wrote about an ancient land known as “Anatolia” or “the East,” (central Turkey), of a specific priesthood of Magi who traveled the tributaries of the Silk Road to Jerusalem in search of a Jewish Messiah (a term used for an earthly sovereign) and who found the child at Bethlehem.
