"The very large Northern Kingdom, under Ephriam, also known as the House of Israel, was made up of all the tribes except Judah, Levi and part of Benjamin. It was taken into captivity by the Assyrians to the fertile crescent area ~722BC, and later, as a group of over 5 Million Israelites escaped and migrated north through the Caucasus mountains, to appear in history as the Celts. These Celts became a huge population, eventally overrunning small local tribes and are the root stock of todays Europeans and Americans."
ROFL.
There is absolutely no evidence of this. Language, genetics, culture, belif system are all different. Sorry. This was a theory of a English drug user int eh 19th century. No sane person should give it any credence.
There is far more evidence that the Pathans are the decendents, although most likely they assimilated into the Babylonian gene pool.

Hello. What you are saying is that YOU, in your limited readings and background have found no evidence. Fair enough. Try reading my Profile for starters. It's a BIG world out there and there is lots more to learn.
