Default How does Zoroastrianism relate to the three wise men in Matthew?

I'm not sure how many of you have come across the questions implicit theory, that the wise men are in fact Zoroastrians of some kind.

They were looking for a savior in these dirty streets; looking for a savior, beneath these dirty sheets. Raising up their hands, they arrived in Bethlehem. Just what Zoroastrianism needs, one more savior.

This is an unusual part of the Bible, if the wise men were indeed what all the hot speculation claims they were. Christians, did God actually fulfill the prophecy of a competing religion to convert a few people?
So the Bible is myth that incorporates mythology from three hundred plus years in the future? Wow..

The three wise men in the bible myth are the 3 stars in the belt of Orion that align vertically at dusk in the eastern sky on Dec. 24Th following the star Sirius the Dog Star.

The Bible mentions 'magi,' which were astrologers from Babylon. It didn't say there were 'three,' that was a later tradition.

These Magis had made mistakes when they followed the star. Immediately when they saw babe Jesus , they knew he would never became King of the Jews.
Instead of telling Herod the truth, they quietly left without telling anyone.
