"The Ten Lost Tribes"
IntroductionIn this chapter you learned about the history of the ancient Israelites and the birth of Jewish religion. After the death of Solomon, fights broke out and ten of the twelve tribes set up their own nation in the north. They called their new nation the kingdom of Israel. In the south, the other two tribes founded the smaller kingdom of Judah. After the Assyrians conquered Israel in 722 B.C., the ten tribes were scattered across their empire. Over time, the Israelites who were forced to move lost their religion and way of life. They are often called the "lost tribes of Israel". Read through the Web site below to learn more about these lost tribes and their supposed journeys.
