Chaldeans were originally a tribal people of southern Mesopotamia who rose to found the Neo-Babylonian Empire under Nabopolassar and his son Nebuchadnezzar II, the king whose armies destroyed Jerusalem and its temple in 586 BC. By the time of Daniel, "Chaldean" had also become a general term for Babylonian scholars, astrologers, and diviners. Nebuchadnezzar's own building inscriptions and the Babylonian Chronicles, which record his campaigns against Judah, corroborate the broad outline of the biblical account of Jerusalem's fall.
