| Land of the Wise Men about 200 BC. It was not changed much by the time of the Wise Men who visited Jesus in Bethlehem except that Babylonia had gotten smaller and Persia had gotten larger. Note: Ectabana was about 800 miles from Jerusalem if traveled to straight across the desert. Otherwise it was over 1000 miles away.. | |||||
