Did the chaldeans invented the first seven-day calendar?
yes
What did the Chaldeans contribute to our modern calendar?
it will have seven day weeks
What were the accomplishments of the Chaldeans?
Some accomplishments of the Chaldeans were: the sun dial, and the 7 day week. Chaldea is acually neo babalonia or new babylon, so they still had the hanging gardens, which are also an achievement.
Whats the legacy of the Chaldeans?
The Chaldeans left us many traditions, but you'll experience one of them every time you check the time, because the 60-minute hour and the 24-hour day are their inventions. They're also partly responsible for the 7-day week (the Hebrews hallowed it, but the Chaldeans used it first) and the 360-degree circle. If you're wondering how their contemporaries, the Egyptians, told time, they used a 10-day week and a 10-hour day with 100 minutes to the hour. About 200 years ago, the French tried to go back to telling time the Egyptian way, but it didn't work out.
Was Nebuchadnezzar great or not and explain?
Nebuchadnezzer was king of the Chaldeans in Mesopotamia. The Chaldeans were the first people to make a 7-day week (they captured Ninevah in 612 B.C.). Nebuchadnezzer built the Hanging Gardens (one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World) for his homesick, foreign wife. So he probably was considered great! P.S. If you're studying or learning about Mesopotamia, might want to check out Hammurabi! :-)
