PaleoBabble � Myth of the Lost Tribes of Israel and British Israelism

PaleoBabble � Myth of the Lost Tribes of Israel and British Israelism - It circulates widely on the web. In a nutshell, it’s the notion that the ten tribes of Israel (the northern kingdom of the divided monarchy in ancient Israelite history) that were deported and scattered by the Assyrians eventually migrated in some fashion to the British Isles. The British colonists who came to America are their descendants, and so Britain / America was / is the new Israel. Criticisms and debunkings of the idea have been around since its genesis. PaleoBabble would like to direct your attention to a recent lengthy expose on the subject. The author (Greg Doudna). Greg is a published expert on the Dead Sea scrolls. His religious background was in circles that promote the lost ten tribes mythology. -- Posted by MSH
