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.

Are African Americans the lost tribe of is real?

It is unlikely that African Americans are a lost tribe of Israel. Perhaps some African Americans have ancestry from the middle east. We know, for example, that the Lemba tribe that is dispersed in a large area of Southern Africa has at least some ancestors who were Yemenite Jews, and we know that the Falasha of Ethiopia have traditions that mark them as Jewish. It is a huge leap from the fact that some sub-saharan Africans have Jewish ancestry to the assertion that all sub-saharan Africans are descended from a lost tribe.
