Did most of the 10 tribes return to Israel after 50 years of Assyrian conquest, or was majority dispersed and "lost"?

There's an entire PBS website devoted to this topic, based on a show they did on it.
The tribes stayed lost, but some people thought they'd been found from time to time. Some people even thought the Native Americans were descended from the ten lost tribes.

after the Babylonians concurred Israel the Jews were taken back to Iraq and made into slaves. the Jews lived in hiding. the Torahs were destroyed and the religion was forgotten. about a hundred years later the rabbis at the time put together a new religion. for what ever Jews left that are practicing a fake man made religion till today. and the others, well the just went underground, intermarried, converted to other faiths, became homosexuals, and in the case of Gog Magog banished below the surface of the earth.

The 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom were "lost". They were moved to other lands and lost their identity to the majority in the lands into which they were settled. It was the Southern kingdom of Judah that returned to its ancestral land after 70 years of exile.

I'm neither a rabbi, nor a scholar (at least not by rabbinical standards), but they're not called the "10 lost tribes" for nothing, you know?

Dispersed among the nation. That's why they're "lost".
