I don't know any Chaldeans so I had to look that up. I did find one reference to Chaldean skull types. "The race was characterized by a round, brachycephalic skull".

Then I looked up 'brachycephalic". It means having a broad rather than long skull. I had once heard that Macedonians share that trait. In Taiwan, I saw a busload of people who all seemed to have large roundish heads. They all had faces as large as Gerald Ford's. I asked one Taiwanese guy who they might be. He said they were from a region of western China.

Map of worldwide narrow to broad skull ratios. Artists should be aware of this stuff. It missed the Chaldeans though as they are from the south end of the fertile crescent in Iraq.
