I'm just posting this for conversation. I think it's interesting. It's not the first time I've seen this, so it's possible there may be some truth to it that the Tribe of Dan went north, after Israel's scattering, and became the Scythians and the Russians and the Northern Europeans.

I only know for certain that the history of man that we think happened, is probably not the truth or, at least, the whole truth.

Interesting.

Coincidentally, I just watched a video about the Scythians this afternoon.

According to it, the Scythians tended to have red hair and blue eyes. The also spoke a Indo-Iranian language. I would find it unlikely that the lost tribes of Israel would change their language family from Semitic to Indo-Iranian.

There is a mysterious people known as the “sea people” known by all historians and no one still knows who they were. But they rampaged through the entire eastern Mediterranean and single-handedly ended the bronze age. No one knows where they came from or who they were.

I have always thought personally they were the tribes of Israel, and the label “sea peoples” was a reference to them crossing the red sea out of Egypt and not so much about them being sailors.

But that’s just me

This could be true; if we ignore all the historical, genetic, archeological and linguistic evidence. Little things.

When the opening sentence contains an egregious error, the remainder of the piece is likely wrong.

There were TWELVE tribes
