The Ten Lost Tribes of the Israelites.
Edward Hine has written: 'Forty-seven identifications of the British nation with the lost Ten Tribes of Israel' -- subject(s): Lost tribes of Israel
The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel were ten of the twelve tribes of the Ancient Israelites who were defeated by the Assyrians and forcibly deported (as was common Assyrian custom). They lost their distinctive Israelite heritage. There is some speculation as to whether some of the lost tribes of Israel were African, but most people believe that the Lost Tribes of Israel merely lost their distinctive heritage and became part and parcel of other ethnic and religious groups in the Middle East.
If the question refers to the reputed "ten lost tribes" of Israel, they would have been Semitic, not American Indian. Ethnically, there is no relationship between the Israelites and the Cherokee. Moreover, the American Indians had allready been in the Americas for thousands of years before the destruction of Israel in 722 BCE. Biblical legend has it that there were twelve tribes of the Hebrew people, ten of whom lived in the northern Hebrew kingdom of Israel and two tribes in southern Judah. When the Assyrians finally conquered Israel, they deported many of the inhabitants, replacing them in what was now the Assyrian province of Samaria, with conquered peoples from elsewhere in the empire. The former Israelites gradually assimilated into their host communities, adopting their religions and cultures, until they entirely lost their ethnic identity. Thus, the legend of the ten lost tribes.
The Kingdom of Judah lost some or most of its easy access to the Mediterranean and to the north of Israel. The other Kingdom, Israel (Ten Tribes) retained these areas. See also:Jewish history timeline
After Solomon's death, Israel split into the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel. Israel now had ten tribes and Judah had two.
It was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of the Ten Tribes of Israel, yes.
A:No. The Fula people or Fulani are a dark-skinned ethnic group from West Africa, far away from ancient Israel. The so-called ten lost tribes are supposedly remnants of the Israelites who were deported from Israel after its destruction in 722 BCE. The true fate of the Israelites, a lighter=skinned Semitic people, was to become absorbed by the native populations of the regions they were deported to, such as Syria, Iraq and Jordan.
The fate of the ten lost tribes and Judah differed over time. The ten lost tribes were exiled by the Assyrians and largely assimilated into other cultures, while Judah was conquered by the Babylonians and later returned to the land of Judah. The people of Judah eventually became known as Jews, while the ten lost tribes' fate remains a mystery.
The kingdom of Israel (Ten Tribes; Northern Kingdom) was conquered and exiled by the Assyrians some 2600 years ago. See also the Related Links.Link: Reasons for the DestructionLink: Where are the Ten Tribes
