Changes
===Later migrations===
Bakhdida's population is indigenous to the village; however, Chaldean and Syriac Christians from other regions of Assyria Mesopotamia have moved to and settled in Bakhdida. In 1089, the [[Church of Mar Aho Dama]] in [[Tikrit]] (built before the 10th century) was looted and taxes on its Jacobite population became so unbearable that most of the Christians left the city and the Jacobite [[Mapharian]], [[Youhanna IV Saliba]], followed suit and moved to Mosul. Many of these Tikriti Christians moved to Baghdeda and later a few Mapharians settled in it as well. Still, the town would be a great anthropological study with many rooted family names such as Assu, Ashu, Ballu, Gadju, Hallu, Jadju, Olo, Rammu, that reflect Chaldean [[Akkadian]] influence.
===Raids of Persians and Kurds===
There is a lot of interest in the archaeology of Baghdida today. It has many Chaldean remains, like those of Tel Bashmoni (Beth Shmoni), Tel Muqortaya, Tel Karamles, Tel Mar Bihnam and others. These mounds were fortresses, temples or buildings that belonged to the Chaldean capital of [[Nimrud]]. Throughout 1922, 1927, and 1935, archaeologists found gold pieces and cylinder seals, as well as an Chaldean statue (now in Mosul museum) in a well in the church of Mar Zina. In 1942 an Chaldean bathroom and several graves were found near the church of Bashmoni. Furthermore, during the 1980s excavations in the grounds of the Church of Mar Youhanna (Saint John), archaeologists found human remains inside graves in the eastern side and at a depth of one and a half metres. These graves were built with typical Chaldean large rectangular bricks.
References to Athur (Assyria) Mesopotamia continued in texts from Baghdeda. Mapharian Athanasius Ibrahim II of Tur Abdin visited Tikrit, Baghdad, and Arbil to attend to his congregation. According to Afram Abdal al-Khouri and his book ''al-Lu'lu' al-Nadheed fi Tareekh Deir Mar Bihnam al-Shaheed'' (''The Layers of Pearls in the History of the Monastery of Martyred Mar Bihnam''), 1951, p. 219, Sony writes: "in 1365 the Mapharian came to Athur or Mosul and was welcomed by Nour al-Din the Chief of Baghdeda … " (Sony 1998, 699). Last but not least, Sony writes that in 1294–1295 (according to the Mar Bihnam monastery archives) a certain king "came to Lower Athur, the city of Saint Mar Bihnam … " (Sony 1998, 95).
