An ancient alien?

I'll beg to differ on that. According to Luke, it was a census of the world, which at the time was the Roman Empire that included a sweep of land and sea from Britton, Gaul, Iberia, all lands surrounding the Mediterranean, Aegean, and overland to the Black Sea. Free persons could be well traveled within the empire, thus people were ethnic, but not alien.

@RichE Since history, from what I recall reading, says there was no such census in the first place, why don't we just go with "The book of Luke is full of crap."

@Paul4747 but it is part of the literature which is taught in college ancient history courses. Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it's not history.
