I read in a book by Sayce ! he mentions the term " Chaldean mountaineers " . Obviously referring to Assyrian Catholics but i wonder from which villages these Chaldean Catholics were form ? would you have any idea ? Thank you so much for your videos i love them. Khaya Matt-Ashur
Great series. Probably the best there is out there so far. In many ways, on another level compared to many popular analyses. I am currently reading Ashael Grant. Following the literature, I used to dismiss him as a romanticist. But now that I hear him I think again. He knew the people, the language, etc, and the virtually universal testimony of the mountain Nestorians of the early 1800s -and their Jewish neighbors!- was that they were descendants of the 10 northern tribes of Israel. In addition, he provides loads of other circumstantial evidence, but what most interests me is the self-understanding. What happened to it? Other relevant sources on this?
