Are Chaldeans, Assryians, and Syriacs the same ethnicity? (Why or why not)
Hey im chaldean (been told that since i was young).
In the past years, I have heard a lot about how we are all one people with the assryians and syriacs. And that us modern day chaldeans are not genuine descendants of the babylonian empire.
Specifically that we only became "Chaldean" after joing the Catholic Church way back when (1500 or 1600s).
What makes us the same, or different?
Im sure this has been asked a million times, but I'd appreciate a response! Thanks!
