Wow, that was a pretty interesting video.

I was thinking that this video makes that song you shared, "How Many Kings" by Downhere, super meaningful. It explains the kinds of perilous travels the magis would have had to go through in order to see the Word made flesh. Pretty epic :].

Also, it was neat to hear about the place where people think Jesus was born. In that book, Simple Spirituality, in one section about humbleness, the author talks about this assumed birthplace of Christ. He said that the entrance to the place was made intentionally small, so that those who entered the room would have to bow in order to go in. He related that to how, in order for us to come to God, we must come humbled. I think it's appropriate, that we'd have to enter the presence of the King bowing.. I just think that's really cool.

As I was watching, the thought came into my head, that if that spot really was where Jesus was born, it's the place where literally God stepped into humanity. Pretty crazy though.

Unsure about the Revelation of the Maji and it's single-existing text, but Jesus's birth remains awesome. Pretty neat video in all, thanks for putting it up =].
