where are the other 10 tribes of Isreal?

Answer 1

They were dispersed among the nations. When the northern kingdom was conquored by the Assyrians, the Israelites fled to the southern kingdom of Judah, Babylonia, Egypt, and many other surrounding nations. They gradually assimilated with the tribes of Judah and Levi.

Answer 2

Actually there are only 9 tribes that are 'missing'. There's a lot of gobbldygook about the Ten Lost Tribes out there, supposing that they migrated to Europe, or for that matter, Missouri, etc.
Actually it's no secret. In the 8th Century B.C. the Assyrian Empire conquered the Kingdom of Israel which contained the '10' northern tribes (sort of, see below). Most of these people, already being pagans, were absorbed as slaves into the Assyrian Population, which was itself conquered by the Neo-Babylonians a century or so later. There are travelers tales by Benjamin of Tudela and others who claim to have come upon remnant kingdoms in the Syrian/Iraqi descended from one or several of the ten tribes during the middle ages.
If you remember that the Kingdom of Israel was conquered by Assyria, and that Assyria was conquered by the Neo-Babylonians, who later captured and exiled the southern kingdom of Judah, it seems reasonable to me that any ancient Israelis who had kept their culture in Assyria and Babylon would have made common cause with the exiled Judeans when they came to Babylon, and thus would have been absorbed into Judah, becoming 'Jews'.

There is a little caveat to all of this though. The Tribe of Levi, the priestly tribe which did not get an allotment of territory during the Conquest of the Holy Land under Joshua was actually spread out and intermixed with all of the tribes, both north and south. There were a considerable number of Levites, perhaps the majority in the Southern Kingdom of Judah, right up to the time of its loss. They were exiled along with the Judeans, and returned with them after the Exile, where they helped to restore the Temple as recorded in Ezra and Nehemiah. So this is yet a third tribe (Besides Judah and Benjamin) that was Not lost. Jewish people today with the surname Cohen (from Heb. 'Kohen'— priest) or of course 'Levi' or 'Levin' are descended not from the tribe of Judah, but from priestly tribe of Levi.

In addition we have to include the mysterious Rechabites.

Answer 4

There are books written on that subject.

If I remember right, this was a book referenced by a teacher in this subject. There are many . . . . interesting theories concerning this, I hope you can delve into them without throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

As I understand it, the northern kingdom Israel was split off form the southern kingdom of Judah. They were punished by God separately for their idolatry and were taken from their land. They lost their identity, with many rumors of what had happened to them afterwards. They became a great people too numerous to count and control while in the Caucasus Mountain region, and are apparently referred to by Herodotus as the 'Keltoi', some referring to those people as the 'Celts'. While this theory is bashed by many scholars, it remains a mystery, but I think that it's true.

Answer 5

No, minorities are no longer the ten "lost" tribes. There are no longer 10 tribes that have been given lost first of all. That rumor is in basic terms a factor of the grand fable international that performs to lots of a factor on the internet. look at my source for extra tips.

Answer 6

There were never 12 tribles of Israel. Those stories were made up syncretistically (is that the right word?), parallel to the region's popular astrological myths. The ancient Hebrews were sky worshippers, especially of a moon god (called Sin--which is where the name of 'Mount Sinai' comes from), which is why they have moon festivals and quarter moon festivals (also known as Sabbaths), and they attach significance to the lunar cycle and the zodiac.

Answer 7

scattered throughout the nations.
