After the Assyrian conquest of Samaria and the Northern Kingdom of Israel, the ten northern tribes were assimilated into the Assyrian culture and dispersed throughout that empire. They forgot thier Hebrew roots and eventually, as time persisted, they lost all identity related to Israel, and and a few hundred years after the fall of the Roman Empire in the West, the whole middle eastern area that contained the mixed decendents of the ten northern tribes converted to Islam (as the rest of the middle east did). Mormonism believes that the Native Americans are decendents of the ten lost tribes of Israel. Mar 23 07, 11:50 PM
