The " apple" was "the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil". The "wise men" were never given a number. What I find really bizarre is that they were supposed to have said they were from the East, ( imagine, say, Ancient Persia) and had seen the star in the East, and had followed it. In that case, they would have gone in exactly the wrong direction ( eastwards of Persia, towards India, instead of West, towards Bethlehem) and would have had to go right round the world before they reached Judaea.
If you go to Bethlehem today, you will be shown the birthplace in a cave, which could never have been reached by animals, as humans have to go down steep and difficult steps to get there.
Also, it is now known that the slavery of the Hebrews in Egypt ( together with the plagues, the Exodus, Passover and the opening of the Red Sea ) , never happened. Archaeologists have found stone inscriptions from that time which describe the Canaanites/Hebrews/Jews as being in Canaan, not Egypt, during that period. Sorry, Moses, but you're a myth.
