If you are looking for a serious answer I can help you with that. The supposedly lost tribes of Israel refers to the ten northern tribes of Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Asher, Dan, Mannasseh, Ephraim, Naphtalai, Issachar, and Gad. One of the claims (which is put foward by white supremacists mostly) is that when Assyria conquered the Northern Kingdom of Israel that the tribes went into northern europe to become the Celts and Vikings. This doesn't have any basis in either the Bible or archaeology. The tribes were never lost as some had already migrated south into Judah. Also the Assyrians did not exile all the inhabitants of the northern kingdom only about half of them.

I believe there were 13 tribes of Israel.

The tribes were led by the sons of Jacob.
Reuben
Simeon
Levi
Judah
Dan
Naphtali
Gad
Asher
Issachar
Zebulen
Joseph
Benjamin
Ashram & Manasseh (adopted sons)

According to the Myth 10 are missing, the 13th tribe (the tribe of Benjamin?) separated from the others with the arc of the covenant.

Some modern archeologist and anthropologists think the tribe moved in to Africa, and signs of the tribe are found in Ethiopia. There is a group who still practices a version of Judaism and have a history that claims at one time they were the guardians of the Arc of the covenant.

Actually I heard different versions form different sources.

3 of the tribes founded a city called Atlantis, which sunk into the ocean. And 6 tribes came to North America, where some of them stayed north to become the Eskimos, while others migrated to the Mid-Atlantic coast to become the Washington Redskins. The other tribe snuck into Mordor to toss the One Ring into the fires of Mt. Doom.

Why do you think the Israeli government relocated thousands of Ethiopians to the country of Israel....... ?
