The <\/strong>T<\/strong>en Lost Tribes <\/strong>of Israel is a reference to the ten of the twelve tribes deported from the Kingdom of Israel after its conquest by Assyria in 722 BC. It has been pointed out that the Hebrew Bible has relatively little to say on the matter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 1865, Brasseur de Bourbourg<\/a> discovered some of Bishop\u00a0Diego de Landa<\/a>\u2018s lost documents. He studied the thoroughly flawed interpretation of Mayan hieroglyphics by de Landa, produced in the 16th century and proceeded to develop his own faulty translation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nigel Davies has revealed [1635<\/a>]<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0that Brasseur, as well as Lord Kingsborough (1795-1829), concluded that the native Americans were the\u00a0Ten Lost Tribes\u00a0of Israel. Kingsborough spent a \u00a340,000 fortune publishing\u00a0The Antiquities of Mexico<\/em> in nine huge volumes, an extravagance that landed him in a Dublin debtors’ prison for non-payment of bills relating to publication costs and sadly, he died there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The variety of identifications put forward for some or all of these groups is quite remarkable, ranging from the reasonable to the ridiculous. At one end of that spectrum, the view “is <\/em>that the \u201clost tribes of Israel\u201d were never really lost. Many of the Jews who remained in the land after the Assyrian conquest re-united with Judah in the south <\/em>(<\/em>2 Chronicles 34:6<\/em>\u20139). Assyria was later conquered by Babylon, who went on to invade the Southern Kingdom of Israel, deporting the two remaining tribes: Judah and Benjamin (<\/em>2 Kings 25:21<\/em>). Remnants of the northern tribes would have thus been part of the Babylonian deportations. Seventy years later, when King Cyrus allowed the Israelites to return to Israel (<\/em>Ezra 1<\/em>), many (from all twelve tribes) returned to Israel to rebuild their homeland.”<\/em> (a)<\/sup><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

>><\/span><\/strong>At\u00a0 this point I must mention Leo Frobenius<\/a>, who, over a century ago, nominated the Yoruba<\/a> territory of Nigeria as the home of\u00a0 Atlantis!<<<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the other end is the entertaining idea that the Lost Tribes inhabit the interior of a Hollow Earth, which is defended by flying saucers!(b)<\/sup><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another unexpected claim, with a tenuous Atlantis connection, comes from \u201cDierk Lange<\/em>(a)(h)*<\/strong><\/span><\/sup>, Prof. Dr Emeritus, of Bayreuth University in Germany, who has performed extensive research concerning many West African groups and their origins in the Near East. In the abstract to one of his many essays, \u201cDierk<\/em> Lange: Origin of the Yoruba and \u201cThe Lost Tribes of Israel\u201d,\u201d Dierk confirms the traditions of a Levantine (Israelite) origin of the Yoruba Nigerians.\u201d<\/em>(d)(e)<\/sup><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nearly as extreme is the attempt to link the Lost Tribes with Atlantis, a combination that would not normally leap to mind. However, some have attempted to justify such a linkage in spite of the contradictions between Plato\u2019s story and the details of this minority opinion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This alleged relationship between Atlantis and Israel points out that the Biblical patriarch Jacob who had twelve sons, excluded two of them, Levi and Simeon. Jacob is then presented as having been Poseidon<\/a> with the ten remaining sons ruling Atlantis. One of Jacob\u2019s sons, Gad, is assumed to have been Gadeiros<\/a>, one of the ten sons of Poseidon. After that, no further parallels are offered to connect Jacob\u2019s other sons with the remainder of Poseidon\u2019s offspring.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Britain, “<\/em>Richard Brothers<\/em>\u00a0(1757\u20131823), a retired naval officer and a radical Calvinist, revealed himself as a prophet of the lost tribes in 1794 in London. The fact that he was writing from the confinement of Fisher Mad-House, Islington, did not deter many from following him and producing the doctrine of Anglo-Israelism: a fiercely nationalist\u00a0<\/em>theology<\/em>\u00a0based on the idea that the British Isles were the home of the lost tribes.”<\/em> (c)<\/sup><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A 2016 paper by Prof. W.A Liebenberg begins the Introduction(g)<\/sup> \u00a0with “<\/em> Dolmens and Megalithic Monuments originated in Ancient Israel. The prophet Jeremiah (31:21) is instructed to make it clear that the Ten Tribes will construct a trail of Megalithic Monuments from their homeland Israel to their places of deportation and further migration into the nations, and evidence of this path will be a vivid reminder of their forefathers and will also enable them to return. Such a trail undoubtedly exists and is embedded in the earth\u2019s crust! It is the Trail of the Dolmens from the Middle East to the various nations.”<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To suggest that the megaliths mark the tribal dispersal routes is to my mind utter nonsense. Judging by the number of megaliths spread throughout the world there should be thousands of ‘lost tribes’, not to mention that the biblical lost tribes disappeared in the 8th century BC, even though the megaliths are scientifically dated to the 5th millennium BC!<\/p>\n
