How did the three wise men get their name?

The author of Matthew's Gospel did not refer to wise men, he referred to magi. The magi were priests of the Zoroastrian religion of Persia. The allusion to wise men has two bases: the first is the name of their god, Ahura Mazda ("Wise Lord") and the second is that the magi were widely respected throughout the Middle East for their learning and wisdom.

Initially, Matthew's intention was to show that even the priests of this great religion would want to worship Jesus. Eventually, the Zoroastrian connection became less important and most English-language translations began to translate magi simply as "wise men".

We cannot walk comfortably on sand but camels can run in a desert easily?

Answer: It is because camel’s feet have large surface area, the force of their weight is distributed over a large area of sand. The pressure produced on sand is small and hence, a camel’s feet do not sink into the sand. On the other hand, a man’s feet have a small surface area, the force of their weight is distributed over a smaller area of sand. The force per unit area or pressure produced on sand is large in this case due to which a man’s feet sink into sand and it becomes difficult for him to walk on sand.
