Civilizations in Review: Chaldean Empire
Want to learn about the empire that earned a reputation as history’s biggest opportunists and most brilliant diplomats? Then tune into the Chaldean Empire livestream. Located in modern-day Iraq and ancient Mesopotamia, the Chaldeans were master traders, strategists, and academics. The modern 7-day week and 60-second minute was created from this empire and their invention of the sundial. They also built the infamous Ishtar Gate, the Ziggurats of Babylon, and created the astronomy and zodiac. Thank you to Omowaleayo for writing about this spectacular empire.
