There were at least two cities called Ur in ancient times, but Genesis calls the city of Abram, "Ur of the Chaldees", which means it was the ancient city found today in southern Iraq. The Chaldees were a tribe that migrated out of the Arabian peninsula some time after 800 BCE and captured Babylon in 625 BCE, throwing off Assyrian rule.
