THE TRIBES (2nd edition) THE TRIBES contains information you need to know! Ten out of the Twelve Tribes of ancient Israel were exiled by the Assyrians and taken to the North. They lost their identity and became identified with the Cimmerians, Scythians, and Goths. The Scythians rebelled against Assyria, then became partners of the Assyrians, and in the end they first took over the Assyrian Empire and then destroyed it. They were allied with the Medes and Babylonians who betrayed them, massacred their leaders, and drove them northward into what was once known as Scythia and later as the USSR. The Bible and Talmud discuss these events and attribute the deeds of the Scythians to the Lost Tribes of Israel thus identifying the two. This is confirmed by a similarity of tribal names, local Jewish legends, and archaeological findings. From the Middle East and Scythia these peoples migrated en masse westward where they were known as Celts, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Franks, Vandals, Goths, and Vikings. One Scythian people of Israelite origin were the Khazars some of who crossed the Sea to Scotland and became known as the Picts. Those of the Khazars who remained in the Steppe area converted to Judaism. The Celtic peoples of the west represent earlier waves of Israelite migration, some of which came by way of the sea and via Spain. The Celts were linked to the Cimmerians who were also of Israelite origin and arrived in Western Europe by an overland route. Celtic legends and ancestral names affirm their Hebrew origins. The Tribal identifications followed a more or less set pattern. Distinct Israelite groups can be located according to names and legend etc., in areas to which the Assyrians exiled them or to which they moved shortly after being exiled. The paths of migration of the said peoples can then be traced. It is noticed how in most cases various elements and clans from the same original Israelite Tribe independently over the course of time went to the same regions in the west and in the end formed single nations. The relevant peoples trace directly back to Scythia (Eurasia) and from there to places-of-exile of Israelites in the Middle East. These tribal-equations are confirmed by the examination of additional evidence. THE TRIBES of Joseph (Ephraim and Menasseh) became the determining factor in the English-speaking nations. Scriptural passages verify the identification of the Lost Tribes as a whole, as well as those especially of Joseph in America, Britain, and amongst descendants of the British overseas. It was prophesied that the Lost Ten Tribes would be in the Isles of the Sea, at the extremities of Continents, in the north, seafaring and powerful, possessors of strategic international thoroughfares, wealthy, and blessed. They would be military formidable and all nations of the earth would defer to them. They were to become extremely numerous and to be a civilizing element amongst the peoples. All of these factors and others are discussed and it is shown how only peoples of British origin fulfilled all of them. In THE TRIBES some physical-anthropological characteristics of the ancient Israelites are considered. The ancient Hebrews contained both dark and fair elements and in some regions one type was more dominant than the other. Later environmental influence is also important in considering this issue as discussed at length. THE TRIBES describes the processes of migration. By tracing Tribal and Clan Names and tribal characteristics THE TRIBES homes in on individual Israelite Tribes. Different sections of these tribes tended (as if moved by an Unseen Hand) to converge on the same areas. Biblical, Talmudic, and related sources are shown to confirm these identifications. National-characteristics of specific West European and related peoples often correspond to those of the Hebrew Tribe that settled amongst them. THE TRIBES has 490 pages. THE TRIBES is packed full of interesting, informative maps and illustrations. THE TRIBES (2nd edition) contains a detailed index, more maps, illustrations, new facts, and an improved text.
