Chaldeans of Mesopotamia were known for great achievements in many scientific fields. Some of those achievements had such an impact that many of them are still being used till today. The 60's system (i.e. 1 hour=60 minutes..etc) was created by the Chaldeans over 3,000 years ago. Also, the "time system" e.g. day, month, year as well as Lunar and Solar Calendars. The Chaldeans reached the conclusions that Earth, Moon, and another 5 planets and our Sun are all part of one system. A fact that took the world 2,000 years later to agree with. The Chaldeans reached an impressive level in the sciences of Algebra, Geometry, and Astronomy. Astronomers like Kidannu was able in 367 BC to measure the Solar year to such an accuracy, that today's computers faulted him to only 4 minutes and 30 seconds!! The Chaldeans were also the inventors of the Zodiac system, and were able to calculate the 1/2 and 1/3 roots of numbers to an extreme accuracy that's not different that what we know today.
The followings are links on the internet that discuss or reference our Fathers, the Chaldeans of Antiquity as a people or simply as the priests of Mesopotamian religion. Those priests who were simply called after their people "Chaldeans".
