Lectures - The Lost Ten Tribes

According to the Bible, as of the 8th century BCE, the twelve tribes of Israel were divided into two, unequal kingdoms: the southern Kingdom of Judah, consisting of just two tribes (Judah and Benjamin), and the much more powerful, northern Kingdom of Israel, consisting of ten tribes (Ephraim, Manasseh, Reuben, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, and most of Levi). When the northern kingdom was conquered around the year 722 BCE by the Assyrian Empire, much of its nobility and propertied classes were deported to the Assyrian heartland, never to return. John Hamer of Toronto Centre Place will look at the history of the so-called “Lost Ten Tribes” as well as many of the claims, legends, and fantasies about their whereabouts today.
