THE CHALDEANS Isaiah 13:19 "Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the glory and pride of the Chaldeans" Jeremiah 32:28 This now is what the LORD says: "I will hand over this city to the Chaldeans, for Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to take." Jeremiah 52:8 "But the Chaldean army pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the desert near Jericho, while his whole army fled from him." Mesopotamia (Beth-Nahrein in Chaldean language) Homeland of the Chaldean people, is undoubtedly, as all archaeological, historical and biblical sources unanimously agree, the foremost origin of human culture all together and the land of firsts. This same land is the place that witnessed the birth of history when the Sumerians hand in hand with the Proto-Euphratean people, the ancestors of Chaldeans innovated pictographs writing in Uruk in the mid of the fourth millennium B.C. & the Chaldeans during the Babylonian period systematized the daily life (2000- 539 B.C.) According to the linguistic heritage and biblical prophecies of prophet Jeremiah "Chaldean .. were a powerful and deeply rooted nation/ethnicity" this statement is archeologically supported by means of the ancient name of the Arabian/Parisian gulf which was called Chaldean Sea (Tam Ti Sha Mat Kaldee) for more than a thousand years before the region of Babylonian Chaldean Empire/11th Babylonian dynasty. Another hard evidence is that the first ever known civilization, prior to the great flood, was (Eridu) the twin city of (Ur of the Chaldeans) founded by the Chaldeans' ancestors (Proto-Euphrateans) before the expatriation of northern Sumerians by almost 2000 years. Bryant in his Ancient Mythology (Vol. III, p. 226) quotes from Dionysus "The Chaldeans were the most ancient inhabitants of the country called by their name. They seemed to be the most early constituted and settled of any people on the earth. They seem to have been the only people who did not migrate at the general dispersion. Theyextended to Egypt westward and eastward to the Ganges. These were the Accadians of Chaldea, who looked to the southwest of the Caspian for the cradle of their race." The undeniable truth that the most ancient national/ethnical presence among all Mesopotamians in Sealand region was Chaldean. Nowadays we (Native Mesopotamian) pride ourselves in those great ancestors and we ought to make the world aware of them to honour our Forefathers the illustrious kings like Hammurabi, Nabu-mukin-zeri, Marduk-apla-iddina, Nabopolassar and his son, Nebuchadnezzar II The Great and all of the Chaldean Nation's achievements. We should even be more proud of the fact that (God's love for humanity) originated and was passed out from Ur of the Kaldees (Chaldeans) by Abraham (the Chaldean Patriarch of all prophets)... Genesis 15:7 "I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as a possession" Abraham's children and grandchildren were Chaldeans, like Jacob (Israel), David the forefather of both St. Joseph (Mar Yousib) and our mother The Virgin Mary (Maryam Btholta). By virtue of this grand ancestry it evident that our Lord Jesus Christ in His humanity, was a direct descendant of Abraham and David through The Virgin Mary and St. Joseph. Genesis 11:28-31 Haran died before his father Terah, in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot, son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and brought them out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to go to the land of Canaan. But when they reached Haran, they settled there.
