Missing Links Discovered in Assyrian Tablets

Author Capt is testing whether European cultures could be descended from peoples captured and resettled by Assyria. This hypothesis isn't new, and he presents Assyrian cuniform tablet translations, cultural/place names and linguistic migration to support the hypothesis that European cultures are descended from the northern 10 tribes of Israel [Samarian region north of Jerusalem]. Do you remember that Europe was developed by invading tribes such as Scythians, Goths, Huns, and Gauls? Well, evidence indicates that these were from the 10 tribes that Assyrian moved to surround and protect Assyria's borders. [Analogous to Rome's resettling of groups.]

This book is a very good study into what happen to the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. Mr. Capt did a Great job in back tracking by using the clay tablets that were found in Assyria which list the tribes by the name which was used by the Assyrians which is called the House of Omri. This book is very in depth and very informative. I also noticed a person left one star because Mr. Capt did say anything about the Jews. Of course the Jew's wouldn't be metioned they weren't taken into exile until 586 bce, and that was by Babylonia and not Assyria. When reading about the Ten Tribes people need to know that the ten tribes were not Jews. Over all I give five stars and it is a must have for a historian or an avid Bible reader intrested in research.

Biblical archaeologists have always been the "black sheep" in historical circles. They, and their researches, are given validity only if their theories and subsequent proofs discredit the divine aspect of the Hebrew and Christian holy books. E. Raymond Capt is the single, most powerful ally of an accurate view of history, a history recognizing the Hebrew peoples as contributors to, and often catalysts of, world events.The focus of this book is the migration paths of the twelve tribes of Israel. Documentation includes passages translated from existing and catalogued Assyrian and Babylonian tablets and an in-depth study of regional languages that track the various paths of the Hebrew peoples. Other reviewers have suggested that this book raises more questions than it answers. In truth, this book seeks to answer no questions. It seeks to bring into sharp focus the proofs that currently exist to accurately track the Hebrew peoples.This book is a must for every student of history. Period

This is an excellent book, with breadth far beyond its title. I recommend it to anyone interested in the history of the movements of the Hebrew tribes, especially the so-called "Lost Tribes". They are well documented by Dr. Capt in this fine little book.(Disregard the silly bad review. You have to read a book before reviewing it.)

Where did the ten tribes of Israel disappear to? This book gives solid support for the wanderings and the destinies of God's covenant people. Don't wonder any longer. This book is excellent and provides sound supportive evidence to back up its claim. We need more people like E. Raymond Capt who are not afraid to divulge the truth.
