## Resource

One of the greatest mysteries in biblical history begins with a disappearance. After the ancient Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire in the 8th century BC, ten of Israel's twelve tribes seemingly vanished from the historical record. What became of them has puzzled scholars, theologians, explorers, and believers for more than two thousand years. In this episode of History Shorts , we trace the origins of the legend of the Ten Lost Tribes, examining the Assyrian conquest, the exile of Israel's population, and the countless theories that emerged afterward. From claims that the tribes settled in Africa, Central Asia, and the Americas to traditions linking them to distant communities around the world, the search for their descendants has inspired centuries of speculation.
