Chaldeans
CHALDEAN (ܟܲܠܕܵܝܹܐ Kaldāye) Chaldean people Mesopotamia (Beth-Nahrein in Chaldean language), the Homeland of the Chaldean Babylonian people, is undoubtedly, as all archeological, 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-Euphratesians people, the ancestors of Chaldeans innovated pictographs writing in Uruk in the mid of the fourth millennium B.C., and the Babylonians 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 Chaldean) founded by the Chaldeans' ancestors (Proto-Euphratesians) before the expatriation of northern Sumerians by almost 2000 years.

The undeniable truth that the most ancient national / ethnical presence among all Mesopotamians in Sealand region was Chaldean. Nowadays we (Native Mesopotamian) pride over selves in those great ancestors and we ought to make the world aware of them to honor our Forefathers like Hammurabi, Nabu-mukin-zeri, Marduk-apla-iddina, Nabopolassar and the Sun King Nebuchadnezzar II.

We should even be more proud of the fact that (God's love for humanity) originated and was passed out from UR of Kaldee (Chaldean) by Abraham (the Chaldean Patriarch of all prophets) .. (I am the Lord who brought you from UR of Chaldeans to give you this land as a possession .. gen. 15:7), Abraham's children and grandchildren who were Chaldean too, like Jacob (Israel), David the forefather of both St. Joseph (Mar Yousif) and our mother Virgin Mary (Maryam Bathulta). By virtue of this grand ancestry it evident that the blood sacrificed by our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross for our salvation is origin (Chaldean).

Genesis 11:28-31: And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity in Ur of the Chaldees. And Terah took Abraham his son and Lot the son of Haran his son's son and Sarai his daughter in law -- his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Harran and dwelt there
