This is partly true. But the Assyrian practice of conquest was to scatter people groups so that within a few generations the families forgot where they came from. But in the case of the tribes of Israel they did not die. They tended to drift together in their histories and migrate west. And they clumped together within their geographical and political boundaries.

i think the ten lost tribes were never lost. they went back to the territory Samaria. they became the Samaritans, right?

I saw a special on television once about the lost Tribes of Israel. What I found in contrast to this series of videos, is that they found people all over the world, not just white europeans. The people they found who traced their lineage back to the Tribes of Judah, actually had practices of Judaism, even in Asia. How do u account 4 the fact that it is largely absent in these Europeans who he claims are the Lost tribes? They show no keeping of them. Most r catholic or close to it.

To WW. The royal Jewish House of Judah is just one of the 12 tribes. Israel is divorced. The Northern Ten Tribes revolted from the royal Jewish House of Judah after the death of Solomon. The lost ten tribes were sent off into captivity in 722 B.C. and scattered into the nations. Yes, some are still scattered. But most drifted west and clumped together in their tribal groupings as they encountered their various histories and migrated into the geographical and political boundaries of the west.
