>Can you connect any of you lost tribes data to this event/period?

No, 2000 BC is way too early.

What I think confuses many authors and scholars is that there were LOTS of different Hebrews roaming around that part of the world at that time. Abraham was just one, but his huge line of descendents gets virtually all the attention. Then, when some other group appears of historic interest authors try to relate those people to Abraham and his offspring. Makes for lots of misteaks IMHO.

For Example, many/most of the books on the CELTS are full of nice pictures of what is identified as Celtic art, but much of the narrative content is way off base. Fortunately, as result of good archeology in very recent years the Celts are being re-examined and re-defined quite differently. It is literally changing history.

Hebrews or Hebaru (wanderers) were uniquely descendents of Abraham. He was Semitic as were the Assyrians and Babylonians. The Sumerians were not SEmites (not really sure WHAT they were. Hence, there were NOT different tribes of Hebrews BEFORE Abraham (kind of like saying that there were different Christian groups in 100 B.C.)

The proto-Celts were in Europe around 1000 B.C. And are quite distinct from the Semitics.
