Chaldea (from Chaldea, Chaldæa, Χαλδαία, Chaldaia of the Greek Akkadian: mātḪaldu; Hebrew :כשדים‎, Kaśdim^[1]; Aramaic :ܟܠܕܘ, Kaldo) is a historic name of the Numazawa area spreading out in the southeastern part of Mesopotamia. The tribes of nomadic herders of Sem who moved to this ground after the tenth century B.C. line came to be called a chaldean. The chaldean performed the founding of a country of new Babylonia kingdom in the seventh century B.C.

The historian calls Babylon eleventh dynasty (BC6 century) which was over in a short life Chaldea dynasty, Chaldea empire or new Babylonia kingdom conventionally. Among the successive rulers of this dynasty, it is only first four people to understand that it is a chaldean, though. The blood relationship of last ruler ナボニドゥス (regency Bel-sar-user who and was the son) does not become clear, but is said to be from Assyria for another view [²]. The area where a chaldean settled down in was in the southern part of Babylonia, and an east bank of the Euphrates was along it mainly. The name called Chaldea came to be used as words for the whole area in southern Mesopotamia generally, but, actually, original Chaldea was the very large plain which opened to approximately 400 miles in length, approximately 100 miles in width along the flow of these two rivers which were at the east end of Mesopotamia south, and were formed by sediment of the Euphrates and the Tigris.

Chaldean

The word כשדים (dim refuse) is used referring to a chaldean in the Hebrew Bible and translates this as a chaldean in 70 reason Bible. The hometown of Abraham is written as refuse dim Ulu, too.

It was the governing classes of Babylonia before Babylonia was governed by Achaemenid Persia that an ancient Greek called a chaldean (Χαλδαίος, Cal die male). It was not thought that a chaldean was a citizen of first domiciliation of Babylonia, but the historian of the Hellenism period was stormy, and Diodoros of the rear did a chaldean with the oldest Babylonian now. A chaldean was famous in the ancient world by having developed astronomy, astrology, and "the wisdom of the chaldean" was astronomy, astrology [³]. I came to call an educated class of Babylonia that controlled astrology to Rabbi rank merely chaldean [⁴].

The language that a chaldean used was Babylonia dialect of Akkadian. This is Semitic same as Assyria Akkadian, but pronunciation and the letter have a slightly strange place. Neither the Babylonia dialect of Akkadian nor the Assyria dialect was spoken later, and Aramaic replaced this in Mesopotamia. Aramaic continues being mother tongue of the Christians (believer of Assyria Eastern church and Chaldea Catholic Church (English version)) called the Assyrians of Iraq and neighbor countries until today (Assyria modern Aramaic, Chaldea modern Aramaic).
