'''BABYLON, "The Bond of Heaven & Earth" Digital Art Museum Quality Schematic Plan'''

[[File:The Bond of Heaven & Earth.jpg|thumb|The Bond of Heaven & Earth]]

It is well known that Robert Johann Koldewey is considered the first archaeologist who started the systematic expedition of Babylon in 1898.

Worldwide, archaeologists have used several schematic maps of Babylon since then. Among the most popular maps was the one drawn during Koldewey’s expedition of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon during 1899-1917.

Many historians included schematic plans of Babylon in their studies, however, they were either displayed incomplete geographic or /and architectural details of Babylon.

Artist and historian Amer Hanna Fatuhi has researched for years the city of Babylon. Enclosed his 2021 version of his extraordinary digitally-drawn colorful museum-quality plan of Babylon signed by the artist.

'''Who Are The Diehard Chaldeans?'''

As evidenced by historical documents and antiquities, Chaldeans, Native Iraqis, are descendants of the Proto-Kaldi, who built three of the earliest cities in southern Mesopotamia around 5300 BC, Eridu, Ur, and Uruk (Kulabba) during the Pre-Diluvian Dynasties.
Similarly, as indicated by tangible/historical discoveries and Biblical data, the two major states in ancient Mesopotamia were Babylonia / Sumer & Akkad in the south and center of Mesopotamia and Assyria in the north. Local inhabitants of both States were descendants of the Proto-Kaldi /Proto-Euphratians (Semites). Sumerian is a term that refers to another Proto-Kaldi Mesopotamians, who shared the land peacefully with the rest of the proto-Kaldi. Yet, they had the privilege to lead in the cultural field between 2900 to 2600 BC as well as between 2112 to 2004 BC. Over time, the sophisticated Sumerian culture intermingled with the culture of the majority of the Chaldean people / Ethnic group.

Although Chaldeans post-Christianity comes under three different designations, they represent one ethnicity. The national/ethnic name of Chaldeans/Kaldaie became commonly known after scholars used the Proto-Kaldi designation. "Eastern Syriacs" became the name of Chaldeans upon embracing Christianity in the First Century AD. Syriac is derived from the word Suraya/Suryaya, which literally means Christian. However, Syriac is used because Christianity was brought into Mesopotamia by the disciple St. Thomas through Syria.
As for "Aṭuraie" it was derived from the word Aṭurra which denotes Mountain. The name Aṭuraie was adopted by a small percentage of the Christian Chaldeans of the mountains who have converted to Nestorianism in the 5th century AD. This unfortunate group fled its homeland in the valley between the two rivers to the mountains of Turkey and Urmia following the Muslim invasion in the 7th century AD. Those people of the Mountain went through dramatic blending with the Indo-Europeans of Turkey and Iran. For political reasons, Aṭuraie abandoned their ancestors' ethnic name (Chaldean) late 19th century and officially adopted the 20th Century Assyrian Cult name in November 1976 in London, England, with strong encouragement from the British Anglican Church.

Chaldeans assert through Biblical references that they are descendants long list of ancient renowned Mesopotamians, including Father Abraham, who migrated from Ur of the Chaldeans to the promised- land (Gen. 12:1 & Gen. 15:7).
Furthermore, the most prominent line of kings and queens, i.e., Ga-Ur/Gura, before the great flood. After the great flood Meshalim and Sargon, the founder of the (first emperor in recorded history). Other amazing kings were Shamshi Adad I, Hammurabi, Mardukh-Apla-Iddin II / Merodach-Baladan, Napoalpauser, and Nebuchadnezzar II. Ku(g)-bau/Kubaba is the first known Queen in recorded history and Shummuramat/Semiramis, the Chaldean-born Queen of Assyria. She successfully Babylonized Assyria and endorsed Monotheism of worship by recognizing god Nabu (god of writing and knowledge) and son of the god of Babylon (Mardukh) as the only true god.
Our people ought to be proud of their forefathers, the founders of the most ancient and sophisticated civilization and the pioneers of human culture. For that reason, Mesopotamia is called the Land Of Firsts, and our Chaldean people the Timeless People.

'''Araden''' ([[Syriac language|Syriac]]: <big><big>ܐܪܕܢ</big></big>) is an [[Chaldean people|Chaldean]] village in the northern [[Iraq]]i [[Governorates of Iraq|governorate]] of [[Dohuk Governorate|Dohuk]]. It is located approximately 20-30 kilometers (12–19 miles) east of the city of [[Zakho]]. The homes lie on the side of the mountain, but the land stretches over 18 kilometers. The village of Einishk lies a few miles to the east, and the [[Iraqi Kurdistan|Kurdish]] village of Bamerne is to the west, [[Sarsing]] can be seen to the south. The name ''Araden'' means "Land of Eden" in old [[Aramaic]].

The inhabitants speak [[Neo-Aramaic Languages|Neo-Aramaic]] with an accent close to that of Old Aramaic.

[[Chaldean Catholic Church|Chaldean Catholicism]] is the dominant religion of the village. Two of the oldest churches in [[Christianity]], Mart Shmoni, and the church of [[Sultana Mahdokht]], established in 325 AD, are located in Araden, along with Libbat Isho, which was established in the 1980s. Today, there are more than 150 homes in the village.

[[File:Forestinaraden.jpg|thumb|A forest in Araden]]

==People==
The villagers are Chaldeans who belong to the Chaldean Catholic Church and have inhabited the land for thousands of years. The village is relativity famous among its neighboring towns and villages for having many green-eyed and red haired people.

There are three main families or tribes of this village, the Kasha family, the Rayes family, and the Sana family. It is believed that the three families originated from other villages and settled in Araden; yet, it is unclear when this settlement in Araden occurred. All houses however break up into different sub-houses. The head of the village was traditionally a Chaldean Bishop named Bishop Francis Daoud (the Chaldean Bishop of [[Amadiya (Chaldean Diocese)]]) and this status continues with the Bishop's lineage. Bishop Francis Daoud was born on October 14, 1870 and died on October 1, 1939. Bishop Daoud from Araden was the Bishop of [[Amadiya (Chaldean Diocese)]] from his confirmation on February 24, 1910 until his death on October 1, 1939. <ref> http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bdavidf.html</ref> <ref>http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/damza.html </ref> Bishop Daoud was known for his bravery and leadership in saving the people of Araden and other Northern Iraqi villages, through bartering and negotiations with the Turks, during the Ottoman Turks 1915 genocide against Christians in Turkey and Iraq.

Before the 1959 [[Kurdish-Iraqi War]], land towards the summit of the mountain was granted by the heads of the village for [[Kurdish people|Kurdish]] refugees to live on during the Kurdish rebellions. This brought about a second village in Araden called "Aradenlaya" where Kurdish families were hidden from the Iraqi military. The military eventually caught on to the location during the first Kurdish-Iraqi War and bombed the village, disbursing the residents to other villages. Today, those families are part of a new Kurdish town called Qadish, which lies about 7 kilometers east of Araden.

There is a large community of people from Araden in [[Metro Detroit]] ([[Warren, Michigan|Warren]], [[Sterling Heights, Michigan|Sterling Heights]], and [[Troy, Michigan|Troy]]), [[Michigan]]. Every year the people of Araden gather on January 12, when there is a celebration for the saint [[Sultana Mahdokht]], called ''Shera''. This is a big event in the Chaldean community of Michigan, as the attendance is overwhelming. Also every year on 15 June, ''Aradnayeh'' get together in [[Shelby Charter Township, Michigan|Shelby Township]], for a large celebration at the [[Stony Creek Metropark]].

==Wildlife==
After the Iraqi Kurdish government rose, many environmental protection laws were passed in the region to help restore the wildlife to the way it was before the wars that took place. Since then, the wildlife population has risen greatly due to better habitat conditions . [[Hedgehog]]s, [[frog]]s, [[boar]]s, [[fox]]es, [[bat]]s, [[bear]]s, and [[wolves]] are just some of the kinds of animals that inhabit the stretch of land.

[[File:Aradendeshta.jpg|thumb|The plains of lower Araden]] [[File:Araden Rainbow.jpg|thumb|Overlooking the eastern forest from the south side]]

Most of the village is covered by fruit and nut bearing trees. To the north, higher up on the mountain towards a region of the land called "Gozaneh", large walnut trees grow around one of the springs that comes from the mountain. [[Loquat]] trees grow on the land below Gozaneh, along with [[quince]], [[citron]], [[Orange (fruity)|orange]], [[apple]], and [[lemon]] trees. Around the residential lands, [[mulberry]], [[blackberry]], [[raspberry]], and [[plum]] trees grow towards the lower edge of the village. Down in the valley towards the church [[Sultana Mahdokht]], grows an abundance of [[pecan]] trees. However the entire region of Araden is covered in [[almond]] trees. The non fruit bearing trees include Cyprus, Cedar, Pine, Oak and spruce. In recent years, the Kurdistan Regional Government has banned the cutting of trees without a license, so these trees are beginning to grow in abundance all over the region.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.zhenga.net/english/zhengaContent.php?pageType=babat&ID=9 |title=Environmental Protection & Improvement Board |publisher=Zhenga.net |date= |accessdate=2012-06-08}}</ref>
