Always a safe guess!

The ten tribes of northern Israel were hauled away and spread across the eurasian continent by Shalmanesser without sacking anything.

Well actually not all the ten tribes were hauled away -- it looks like Asher and Naphthali were absorbed partially by the phoenicians

Also Assyrian deportation policy was to deport the elites and some peasant farmers from one corner to the opposite corner of the empire. Some of the peasants were retained

They weren't spread across the eurasian continent but were sent to what is now sotuhern iraq or eastern Iran. Some assimilated and became ancestors of modern day Iraqis and Kuzestani Iranis and some came back with the Judeans after the Persian King Cyrus let people go back and the Iranis gave money for the rebuilding of the temple.
