Just looking at a map of the world would suggest that they must be travelling West if they came by camel.
They would have had to be travelling by whale if they were going east.

King James Bible
Matthew 2:2

Yes but, that wasn't written until 1500 years after the event.

Actually, you have a sea to cross in either direction, if coming from more than a day's travel (at camel speed). If travelling East to reach Bethlehem, the Dead sea is 25km away. If travelling West to reach Bethlehem, the Mediterranean is 56km away.

 

[Tribansman]

This is like debating what a unicorn's horn is made of.
It's all hokum

Do you realise you've done it again?!?

Oops.

Yes, East/West mixed up. But the point remains, either way, you have come from a coast less than a day's travel away.

Quite so. As the carol "We Three Kings" goes:

"Westward leading, still proceeding
Blah blah blah, blah blah"

One on a bus
One in a car
One on a scooter, blowing the hooter
going yonder far

We Three King's of Wiberly Square
Selling knickers tuppence a pair...
How fantastic, no elastic, ever so hard to wear...
Oh star of wonder....

"Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.”

“They“* meant they were in the east when they saw the star.
* Or whoever was narrating, some 200 years later.

We four Beatles of Liverpool are
George in a taxi, John in a car
Paul on a scooter beeping his hooter
Following Ringo Starr

My sister drove us nuts singing this circa 1965

It's a relief from the Notty Ash Department of Confused Theology.

 

[Profpointy]

Since they came from the East, then shouldn’t they be heading West instead?

One on a bus

We three kings of orient are
one in a taxi, one in a car
one on a scooter, blowing his hooter
smoking a big cigar
