...is that they can't explain why they never called themselves "Assyrians" until after 1840....why they called themselves Chaldeans before that, starting in the 26th century...and how it is that they forgot their own language until Europeans had to teach it to them in the 19th century, after which they miraculously "remembered" who they really were.

You are a Christian sect trying to win a Christian enclave from Muslims, who know they can't make land-claims based on their religion and so invented a "political" name for themselves, as modern-day Assyrians.

Your other dilemna is that you believe illiterate fools like Beth-Shlimon, who is not a historian and who has to pay someone to PRINT his books because no publisher will touch them....THAT is your dilemma.
