Due to wars we've been spread all over the world (2,000,000-4,000,000) and our presence in the homeland is pretty weak.

The 0 represents the founding of Ashur, the first city that Assyrians inhabited.

No problem bro, Kurds do live in the same region and have for the last 200-300ish years. Kurds are closer to Iranian populations genetically, while we are closer to Mandeans and Mesopotamian Jews. Yes Chaldeans are Assyrians, they are from villages in the Nineveh Plains which is like the historical center of ancient Assyrians.

I have always had the feeling that, in a past life, I was a Middle Easterner.

^No jokes.
