"Hi Maggie... .... what other songs do you like? You are right..the Ahela Yoni song is geting old...hmmm....request any song."

I would love to see you create your own songs. Ones that speak of the Assyrian condition TODAY, not reminisce about the old days. Sing from your heart, sing of your spirit, of your rage, or of what ever it is you are feeling NOW. Then you can teach us the song and we will do back up singing for you.

" Hopefully one day the CHALDEANS will start their own conventions too, spiritual ones, and we can all sit and sing songs together and conect to the spirit of Mesopotamia."

There's no difference to me between Assyrians and Chaldeans. We were all one people once, and we can be one again.

If you think of yourself as Chaldean, by all means, do it. But remmeber this:

-The term "Chaldean" is used today to refer to a religious sect, "Catholic Assyrians". So we are bringing religion into Assyrianism once more.

-The old term "Chaldean" meant a group of astronomers.

-If Chaldeans were of UR only, we would not today have Chaldeans living in the heart of Assyria, (Alqosh, Telkaif, Telesqof, etc.) Besides there are no migration patterns showing a certain group by the name of "Chaldeans" migrated north to where they are today. They were always there.

-The Assyrian king Pel built Babylon, so even Babylonians were Assyrians.

-The Assyrian queen Shumirum was the queen of Babylon, so was her husband, so was her son.

-The Chaldean Dynasty was made of Assyrian kings who had become Babylonianized.

-Alaha Ashur was the supreme god of Assyria and he manifested himself in Marduk, which later became worshipped by the Babylonians. BUT Mardok was one of the 10 gods created by Alaha Ashur as one of his own attributes.

So no matter how we look at it, Assyrian and Chaldeans are the same.

I believe in living and let live. So now that I have said what I need to say, you are welcome to think of yourself any which way you wish. But to me, we are all Assyrians.
