Ur of the Chaldees: Where was it? A Jewish Perspective
Jump to Connections

This video explores where the potential location of Ur of the Chaldees was according to Jewish tradition. Since the Woolley expedition in the 1920s it has been assumed by most scholars that the city of Ur and the biblical Ur of the Chaldees were synonymous. We will explore alternative sites.

Awesome. I've just visited Urfa (Sanliurfa). It feels right that Abraham was born and lived in Urfa. Then moved to Haran.

Great job navigating your way to enlightenment. Also I'd like to enlighten you a little bit more that Mount Nemrut(Nimrod) is due north from both Urfa(Sanliurfa) & Harran. The tower that stands today in Harran, whilst not the original, should also cast aspersion on the tower of Babel location.

Ibrahim Al-Khalil was born in Iraq🇮🇶 In Ur, southern Iraq Ur is the oldest city in the world The name Iraq is derived from the name Uruk Burial of Ibrahim Al-Khalil in Palestine🇵🇸 in the city of Nablus There are also prophets buried in Iraq Like Khidr and Daniel from the prophets of the Children of Israel There is also the tomb of the Prophet Yunus There are the graves of the grandchildren of the Messenger of God, Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets, and his last grandson, the Mahdi, who disappeared into the Euphrates River.

There's a tradition in Turkey that Abraham's birthplace was near the Gobleki. He may have moved to Ur after the Tower of Babel incident

I think it's very possible that Abraham came from Ur in Mesopotamia. Ur and Haran share the same city deity : the moon god Sin/Nanna. Sarai = Sarratu = the title of Sin's wife. Laban = Full white moon Milcah = Sin's daughter. Terah could be possibly yerah, which means moon. The Talmud also has a story about abraham worshipping the moon. But then after witnessing it making place for the sun and vice versa realises that there must something higher that controls both the moon and sun and drops his former faith I also think he went initially as a high priest of Sin to the holy land to start a colony for the temple cult of Sín or as some kind of ambassador. That is why he is literally traveling with an army strong enough to kill a coalition of local kings. He must have travelled pretty grandiose. That is why he was afraid they spotted and take Sarah (otherwise a nobody). The group splits between Sin worshippers and the ones that accept his new god. This is the story of Isaac and Ishmael. The Ishmaelites lose and are banished towards the deserts. Ishmaelism evolved into Islam. Muhammad said multiple times he is a descendant of Ishmael. And in Islam the moon is hugely important. Ramadan for example works on moon stances. His only wonder had to do with the moon etc. Even the Kaaba stone is a "moon" stone. A meteorite. Which was placed there by Abraham himself according to Muhammad. The Islamic story of Isaac and Ishmael might've been the story as told by the Ishmaelites. A tradition now lost. A henotheistic Sin-Abrahamic offshoot tradition that circumcised and had dietary laws.

Kardu, kartu is the name of modern Georgians. Georgians call themselves kart-veli which means karduan. It is neighboring Armenia and Cutha (quta - as it is pronounced) could be the then capital of Georgia quta-isi (mentioned in the myth of argonauts). and yes You can find people with family names Kaldani. Of course I am not asserting anything, just too many familiar ethnonyms and toponyms. 😊

Shinar is NOT sumer at all in the least. That's 1 generation ago error. Shinar is placed in area of babylon or babel and north of akkad in southern assyria and babylonia region. Far outside sumer and alien to sumer as well way so as well as alien to akkad too.

The story goes, Abram left the city of Ur, who's city god was Nanna the moon god, who the Babylonians would call Sin, and it was the Lord of that city that sent him Abram, not Abraham, (the ram not the ham) on his way. Abram was reborn Abraham much later.

Haran was a priest in the city of Ur Terah was a general and living in babylon alongside Nimrod Nimrod had a prophecy of the stars moving from him, and told Terah it was Abram who would dethrone him; Terah then tricked Nimrod and for 10 years Abram lived in a cave When Abrams mother died Terah took the boy to Arrata to be with Noah. Abram then lived with Noah and Shem in the mountains of Arrata until Noah died when Abram was 39 Abram returned to Ur and lived there for 30 years and Shem became a king in the South West still being alive and strong age 70 Abram was brought before Nimrod for having destroyed his fathers idols Haran (the eldest of the three brothers) died in front of Terah Terah, Abram, Lot his wife Ado and Norah all move/are banished(?) to Harran at age 75 Abram buries his father in the land of Harran (S. Turkey) Norah chooses to stay behind (his descendants are the wives of Jacob) Abram, Lot and his wife, along with Sarai go from Harran Haran was not the younger of Abram Haran is the eldest of the brothers The story is far beyond being literal listen: The eldest brother is a priest in a land of pagans Abram lives and worships beside them for 30 years then the lord moves Abrams heart Haran, the eldest brother, when pressed with going against his own brother and the Lords power he had JUST seen Stands in the face of adversity 'wanting' the power that had saved Abram from the fire; but he has devoted his life to sinful practices knowingly going against the Lord working alongside Serug, his great grandfather, in necromancy. Those who wish for the salvation of the Lord must know him, or risk becoming a whisper like Haran upon our death
