Here's how the tribe-tracking story unfolded over the last 2,700 years. Others were known by their ancestor Isaac's name as Saka or Scythia. The Israelites were mostly known by variations of what the Assyrians called them: Khumri or Ghomri, which also came out as Gimira and Cimmerians.

The Bible explains how Assyria transported and resettled the 10 tribes of Israel: 'Now the king of Assyria went throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria and besieged it for three years…the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah and by the Habor, the River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes' (2 Kings 17:5-6). They also drafted many able-bodied men of these tribes into their army and positioned them on the Assyrian frontiers as buffers between themselves and neighboring enemies. They marched the beaten captives into exile from Israel's northern and eastern borders. Assyria takes 10 tribes captiveįrom 740 to about 720 B.C., the empire of ancient Assyria located in what is now Iraq and Iran conquered and deported all 10 of the northern tribes of Israel. Other tribes spawned certain of the modern, northwest European nations. One of those tribes, Joseph, is the ancestor of the United States and British nations today. We are focusing on the great wandering of the 10 northern tribes who were never known as Jews in history. In fact many modern nations descended from the original 12 tribes. The modern nation state of Israel consists of only a fraction of the tribal descendents. When they persistently rebelled against His leadership, He repeated warned them before punishing them. He gave them great blessings and expected high standards of worship and conduct from them. God chose the ancient nation of Israel to be an example for all other people.

Plus we have seen the value of archaeology and even art history in the tracking process. In this third article of our 'Tribe Tracker' series, we begin to map the migrations of the so-called 'lost 10 tribes of Israel.' In the previous articles we have learned by what names the various tribal groups were known and how they are identified today based on incredible prophecies of the past.
