No. Matthew's Gospel actually uses the word 'magi', although in modern usage this is generally translated as 'wise men'. The magi were hereditary priests of the Persian religion and always came from the same Iranian tribe. If there were indeed magi who came to visit the baby Jesus, they would all have looked much like Iranians today, although Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury and leader of the world's Anglicans, has described the story of the three wise men as nothing but a "legend" and says there is little evidence that they existed.

The Bible never states their skin color, names, or even how many there were. It was made up afterwards.

Where those wise men name find in what chapter the bible?
You won't find them, on my reading. It only says "wise men from the East", and not even that there were *three*. The traditional names, Caspar, Balthazar and Melchior, are later additions to the Gospels. The Gospels are also silent on ethnicity/colour, despite there being a tradition that one of them was black.
Did the three wise men arrive in Bethlehem at the same time?
no they arrived each one 1 hour later
Gfts from the 3 wise men?
The wise men - the Bible does not say there were three of them - gave Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Because there were three gifts, it is assumed that there were three givers. But one person may have given more than one gift, or several people may have given the same gift. We don't know.
