About the Magi: The Magi were a tribe from ancient Media , who — prior to the absorption of the Medes into the Persian Empire in 550 BC — were responsible for religious and funerary practices. Later they accepted the Zoroastrian religion, not without changing the original message of its founder, Zarathustra (Zoroaster) , to what is today known as Zurvanism , which would become the predominant form of Zoroastrianism during the Sassanid era (AD 226–650). No traces of Zurvanism exist beyond the 10th century . The best known Magi are the " Wise Men from the East " in the Bible , whose graves Marco Polo claimed to have seen in what is today the district of Saveh, in Tehran , Iran . In English, the term may refer to a shaman , sorcerer , or wizard ; it is the origin of the words magic and magician.
