The country of Chadea was an ancient land in southern Babylonia, on the Persian Gulf near the delta of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. In later biblical times the name was applied to all of Babylonia. As far as can be traced, the Chaldeans themselves descend from Shem's son, Arphaxad, who is also an ancestor of Abraham and Israel.

The Chaldeans lived in the southern portion of the Babylon on the rich land by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Ur, the hometown of Abraham, was it's most recognizable city in ancient times.(Genesis 11:28, 31; 15:7; Nehemiah 9:7; Acts 7:2-4) .

Eventually all Babylonia became known as "the land of the Chaldeans" and The Bible prophesied that it would rise to a World Power and fall again (Isaiah 13:19; 23:13; 47:1, 5; 48:14, 20, 2Kings 24:1, 2; 2Chronicles 36:17; Ezra 5:12; Jeremiah 21:4, 9; 25:12; 32:4; 43:3; 50:1; Ezekiel 1:3; Habakkuk 1:6) The cult of the Chaldeans was known for their practice of the occult arts in Babylon. Daniel was in exile in Babylon and interpreted a dream for the king when the "Chaldeans" (diviners) could not(Daniel 2:2, 5, 10; 4:7; 5:7, 11). It's government was destroyed when "Belshazzar the Chaldean king was killed." (Daniel 5:30)

The Chaldeans were an Arabic tribe that migrated north out of the Arabian peninsula in the eighth century BCE, to settle in the region just to the south of the city of Babylon at a time when it was under Assyrian domination. They eventually overthrew the Assyrian rulers, to establish the neo-Babylonian kingdom.

Is Daniel a of the Chaldean's?

It's uncertain if Daniel was of Chaldean descent as his background is not clearly specified in historical records. The Book of Daniel in the Bible portrays him as a Judean captive in Babylon who rose to a high position in the Babylonian court due to his interpreting skills and wisdom, rather than his lineage.

All Chaldean's are guaranteed to be Catholic! They speak Chaldean, which is a modern version of Aramaic, the language that Jesus spoke. The Chaldean language is very similar to Assyrian, and the Chaldean culture is very similar to that of Catholic Syriac's.
