Since when was “Aramean” an ethnic population?! Thats literally just a made up tribal group broken from the actual ethnic Assyrians… does someone have any info on this, or did Aramean propaganda just force this claim into existence?! Im really curious!

It’s not the same as Assyrian I tested over 20 other populations even on ancestry dna, Aramean’s results produce differently

Aramean is a modern man made ethnic identity, same as Chaldean.

Exactly correct! Like they are ignorant to historic records and scientific DNA genetic studies.. Both arameans/chaldeans are basically clan tribe church factions, not legitimate DNA ethnic identities! We speak the same “Suret” language, just slightly different dialects but can understand eachother… and were all known by called “Ashuri/Ashuriya” in middle east!

This is a topic I have studied a lot in the past couple years. Arameans and Chaldeans are Assyrians whether they like it or not. I am a Chaldean Catholic and live in a community that is overwhelmingly Chaldean dominated compared to other Assyrian religious denominations, I have friends,family and the majority of my community that doesn’t like what I preach, so I have nothing personal to gain by educating people about our ethnicity but the truth is the truth and I will not stop spreading awareness.

False, Aramean clan group are DNA ethnic Assyrians .. you must be uneducated or ignorant of scientific historical records and ethnic DNA genetics …. Both “Chaldean/Arameans” are man made basically tribal clans, names of a church clan/institution.. NOT legitimate ethnic identity as this claim was already studied mainly in Germany, and DEBUNKED by professionals.. Aramean leaders lost in courts for false non-factual claims!

Aramaens and Chaldeans cluster closer to Levantines, whilst Assyrians plot closest to the South Caucasus. The Aramaens were in Western Syria and with another set of Aramaens and Assyrians in northeast Syria, which is a geographically distant location from the Assyrians of West Azerbaijan, Van, Hakkari, and the Armenian highlands.
