Refimprove date August 2010 Too few opinions date August 2010 Ur Ka dim or Ur of the Chaldea Chaldees is a biblical place mentioned in the Book of Genesis that refers to a location that the Patriarch Abraham may have been from. Not only is there much debate in interpreting Ur Ka dim as Abraham s birthplace, but also identifying this location. Identifying Ur Ka dim The traditional site of Abraham s birth is placed in the vicinity of Edessa, Mesopotamia Edessa &mdash Both Islamic tradition and classical Jewish authorities, such as Maimonides and Josephus , had placed Ur Ka dim at various northern Mesopotamian sites such as Urkesh , Urartu , Urfa , or Kutha . In 1927 Leonard Woolley identified Ur Ka dim with the Sumer ian city of Ur , in southern Mesopotamia, where the Chaldeans had settled around the 9th century BCE ref cite book last Arnold first Bill T. title Who Were the Babylonians? year 2005 publisher Brill isbn 978 9004130715 pages 87 url http books.google.co.uk books?id nAemO6HmOgYC&pg PA87&dq chaldeans settled ninth century UR&hl en&ei Gwp0TMDxIcyNjAeKt8naCA&sa X&oi book result&ct result&resnum 3&ved 0CDQQ6AEwAg v onepage&q&f false ref Ur lay on the boundary of the region called Kaldu Chaldea, corresponding to Hebrew Ka dim in the first millennium BCE. It was the sacred city of Sin mythology the moon god and the name Camarina is thought to be related to the Arabic word for moon qamar , although Camarina is in fact the name of an ancient city in Sicily . The identification with Ur Ka dim accords with the view that Abraham s ancestors may have been moon worshippers, an idea based on the possibility that the name of Abraham s father Terah is related to the Hebrew root for moon y r h . Jewish tradition relates that Terah worshipped many gods, however, the argument along this line remains weak. Jewish tradition Ur Ka dim is mentioned four times in the Tanakh , with the distinction Ka dim usually rendered in English as of the Chaldees . In Book of Gene ... more details
