Caravans: this means group of traveling merchants.
Astronomers: people that study the sky.

EQ: I can describe the Assyrians and Chaldeans!
The Assyrians in my opinion were very smart people. In fact, they were the ones who founded Mesopotamia and lived in the north of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. They were ferocious warriors and also very organized which was why they were so successful. On the other hand the Chaldeans were skilled as well. In 612 bce they captured Nineveh which later caused the Assyrian empire to crumble. Most of them were descendants of Babylonian people had been part of Hammurabi's empire. They sought to later build an empire that was run by king Nebuchandnezzar and controlled Mesopotamia for a number of years but were over come by the Persians.
