...where are the Hurrians...where did the Sumerians go to...what happened to all those Amorites? Where are the Hittites? Were they all "wiped out"? Each and every last one of them...but the Assyrians and Chaldeans survived? Why ? How?

If we reject the idea that "all" Assyrians were wiped off the face of the earth...why do we accept the fact that no one today claims to be a lineal descendant of the Babylonians? Assyria fell before Babylon did...why didn't they resurface?

It amazes me that Aprim can use his argument against the modern Chaldean identity, even to admitting that it was the pope's people who coined the name "Chaldean" for the Nesotians who returned to orthodoxy, but refuses to see that the same thing happened with modern Assyrians...that in this case too it was a question of the Euros picking this name for the Nestorians they settled to work among....why is it so easy to accept in the case of the Chaldeans but not with Assyrians?

The short answer as to why only modern "Assyrians" and "Chaldeans are legitimate, while the others all "disappeared" is that the Euros decided this thing...by taking an interest in the isolated and outnumbered Nesotorians, bringing them financial aid and political protection, or the promise of it, as well as the natural boost to their self-esteem by thinking the powerful European nations and America were so interested in them and calling them Assyrians and Chaldeans, the Nesorians hopped on this bandwagon and have been falling off of it ever since...had the Euros decided to call the Nestorians returning to Rome, "Babylonians" instead....we would have modern Babylonians and not Chaldeans...and had they discovered Amorite ruins, they would have called the Nestorians above these ruins modern Amorites.
