Featured Term (selected at random):

TEN TRIBES

The ten social units of Israel that, after the death of Solomon (933 B.C.), separated from the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin to form the Kingdom of Israel. Those two tribes formed the Kingdom of Judah. When Israel was conquered by the Assyrians in 721 B.C., many of the more prominent Jews were exiled to Assyria, and their descendants either merged with the Gentiles or became part of the later Jewish Diaspora.

The ten social units of Israel that, after the death of Solomon (933 B.C.), separated from the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin ...

Aka "The Lost Tribes" of legend and bad novels. Some say they went into Africa where some native tribes ... Some say India where some social groups ... Of course there are the Latter Day Saints ...

It is fun speculation and a mystery of the Old Testament. Put it with the "Lost Legion" of Crassus in Persia, the Viking Runes in Minnesota and Sir Walter Raleigh's "Lost Colony of Roanoke".
