I think it's highly likely. Daniel, being one of Nebuchadnezzer's (and later Darius') advisors, certainly would have been able to use his position to teach other wise men, or magi, about the coming Messiah, and sharing some of the Old Testament prophecies with them. Numbers 24:17 mentions a star in connection with the Messiah. And one night, hundreds of years later, the magi were watching the stars, and saw something, and said to themselves, "He's come." You never know how your actions will reverberate through other people's lives, maybe even years later.

I'm very religious so i love the lines and laws said in Holy Bible, every time i read a line it creates a new thing.
Appreciable post you've done.
