Allen Howard Godbey's 1930 study examines the long-running legend that the ten tribes of ancient Israel, lost after the Assyrian conquest, survived somewhere in the world. He traces how writers, travellers and groups over the centuries claimed to have found these scattered tribes, and he evaluates the evidence offered for each claim. Taking a critical, historical approach, the book argues that the theory rests on myth rather than documented fact. It is a detailed and scholarly work, of interest to historians of religion, readers of biblical history and anyone curious about how such identity claims took hold.
