lost tribes
Lost tribes generally refer to any ethnic or racial group presumed to have become extinct or disappeared from recorded history. The term is most commonly used in historical or anthropological context, often referring to indigenous people. The most famous example is the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. These were the ten of twelve tribes of ancient Israel that were said to have been deported from the Kingdom of Israel after its conquest by the Neo-Assyrian Empire circa 722 BCE. These tribes are considered 'lost' because their whereabouts or ultimate fate is unknown.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
Lost Tribes
the ten tribes of the race of Israel whom the Assyrians carried off into captivity (see 2 Kings xvii. 6), and of whom all trace has been lost, and only in recent years guessed at.
