Tudor Parfitt examines a myth which is based on one of the world's oldest mysteries - what happened to the lost tribes of Israel? Christians and Jews alike have attached great importance to the legendary fate of these tribes which has had a remarkable impact on their ideologies throughout history. Each tribe of Israel claimed descent from one of the twelve sons of Jacob and the land of Israel was eventually divided up between them. Following a schism which formed after the death of Solomon, ten of the tribes set up an independent northern kingdom, whilst those of Judah and Levi set up a separate southern kingdom. In 721BC the ten northern tribes were ethnically cleansed by the Assyrians and the Bible states they were placed: in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan and in the city of Medes. The Bible also foretold that one day they would be reunited with the southern tribes in the final redemption of the people of Israel. Their subsequent history became a tapestry of legend and hearsay. The belief persisted that they had been lost in some remote part of the world and there were countless suggestions and claims as to where.

The Myth of the Twelve Tribes of Israel is the first study to treat the history of claims to an Israelite identity as an ongoing historical phenomenon from biblical times to the present. By treating the Hebrew Bible's accounts of Israel as one of many efforts to construct an Israelite history, rather than source material for later legends, Andrew Tobolowsky brings a long-term comparative approach to biblical and nonbiblical “Israelite” histories. In the process, he sheds new light on how the structure of the twelve tribes tradition enables the creation of so many different visions of Israel, and generates new questions: How can we explain the enduring power of the myth of the twelve tribes of Israel? How does “becoming Israel” work, why has it proven so popular, and how did it change over time? Finally, what can the changing shape of Israel itself reveal about those who claimed it?

We know today that the original Indians of North America are not the lost tribes of Israel as so many antiquarians and historians from the 1790's to the late 1800's claimed them to be. It is known today that the Western Hemisphere has had numerous visitors from across the sea both from the east and the west. Some came to trade and depart while others came to stay. The ones that might have stayed is the mystery Jenkins seeks answers to. It is a paradox as to why so many artifacts are found in the Western Hemisphere which are clearly not part of the indigenous cultural matrix and are refused as authentic by most archaeologists. Yet, they are found all across this land of North America. The most familiar word to describe these anomalous finds is "Hebraisms." Timothy R. Jenkins book, The Ten Tribes of Israel, originally published in 1883, is one man's collective work showing the cultural similarities, written records, oral history and language traits which have "Hebraism" connections.
