There was a Rabbi who was shipwrecked on an island. He knew that there was no way he could get off so he decided to make the best of it.
One day in his exploration of the island he came across an interesting tribe of people. They devised some kind of communication and he found out they called themselves Trids. He asked if he could join the tribe. The Trids said yes. So the Rabbi did everything that the Trids did.
One day about a month after the Rabbi joined the Trids, there was a loud trumpet sounding. The Trids all lined up and started walking up the hill. The Rabbi joined them thinking it was some religious ceremony. The Trids stopped on top of a cliff by the sea. They were in a straight line. The Rabbi followed. Then a giant came out of the woods and began to kick each Trid off the cliff. The giant passed the Rabbi and continued to kicked the Trids off the cliff. When the Giant was finished, the Rabbi went to the Giant and asked why he didn't get kicked off. The Giant replied, "Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!"

...the entourage hadn't ridden a mile out of Camelot before Sir Lancelot could be seen giving pursuit on his galloping horse, shouting, "King Arthur! King Arthur! You left me the wrong key!"

"Rabbi is a Jewish preacher at a synagogue. What did he really mean? I assumed he meant Jewish. I believe the Olmecs were around before there were people who were identified as Jews.

Pretty obviously looks like what we would consider Peruvian -- the long nose, high cheekbones etc. are what you'd see in Spanish conquistador paintings from the 16th century.

Well, you look at Jews from Yemen, from Ethiopia, from India and from Europe -- they all look different, even if they have the same Judaic blood.

well.... the 12 tribes were:
- Southern Kingdom: judah, SImeon, Benjamin (and to some extent Levi)
- The northern kingdom: Manasseh, Ephraim, Isaacher, Dan, Naphthali, Reuben, Gad, Zebulun, Asher (and to some extent Levi).
So, the lost tribes would be numbering 9 (or 8 if you say that Manasseh and Ephraim, both beind descended from Joseph should be one tribe, just as those descended from Dan were one tribe)
