• After being taken captive and relocated below
  the Black and Caspian Seas, the tribes of the
  House of Israel plus tens of thousands of Jews
  were used by their Assyrian conquerors as a
  buffer state to ward off any advances by the
  Medes. Soon, groups of Israelites started moving
  out to east, and north.
• The main body of people remained in the area
  for about a hundred years, during which time they
  fought as mercenaries for just about everyone.
  Their unique triangular arrow points were even
  found in the ruins of one of the burned gates of
  Jerusalem meaning that some of them were in on
  the conquering of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.

• Soon after the power of the Assyrians was
  broken, vast numbers of the Israelites began
  several migrations, with the main two groups
  moving west under the Black Sea, and north
  through the Dariel pass of the Caucasus mountains
  into the steppes of south Russia.
• A large group also moved east. These were
  called Sakka (Saka) and Iskuza by the Medes and
  Persians. The Japanese name Sakai is but a step
  away from Saka. There are many strange customs of
  unknown origin in Japan that can only be
  explained by recognizing that some from the east
  Jordan tribes of Manasseh, Reuben and Gad,
  Manasseh being pre-eminent, made their way to
  that far eastern Island, while their cousins
  headed west to populate northwest Europe and the
  far western island of Britain.
• Some of these migrations were undertaken all
  the way into the 17th century when, in the final
  migration, some from the tribe of Manasseh sailed
  the north Atlantic to Plymouth to fulfill Isaiah
  4920, which was prophesied to the hegemony of
  the House of Israel, Ephraim (England).

• The crux of the whole Lost Tribes subject is
  that the names we want to look for to trace the
  Israelites are not the names that historical
  accounts and archeological finds give those same
  folks. To more confuse the issue, large groups of
  Israelites called themselves by different names.
  Some of them called themselves the House of
  Isaac, which is pronounced e-sahk with the
  emphasis on the last syllable.
• How natural for the Persians to call them the
  Sakka (Sacae in Greek), while the Assyrians
  called others, the House of Omri, after the sixth
  king of Israel. This name sounded like Khumri,
  and was variously pronounced Ghumri, Gimri,
  Gimira, Gammer, all of which turned into the
  Greek Kimmeroii, our English word Cimmerians.

THE NAME IS THE GAME

• The Israelites weren't lost, their name got
  lost. That fact coupled with the erroneous search
  for the Jews' fulfillment of the Old Testament
  prophesies has held the Lost Tribes teaching in
  virtual obscurity these millennia since 500 BC.
• This is an incomplete list of names for
  various groups of Israelites as they
  migratedKhumri, Cimmerians, Sakkas, Sacasene,
  Sacasune, Schythians, Cimbri, Thraco-Cimmerians,
  Celt, Galatians, Germans, Saxons, Normans, Danes,
  Gimira, Kimmeroii, Iskuza, Gauls, Angles, Picts,
  Iberes, Scots, Basques, Bretons, Goths, Vandals,
  Lombards, Franks, Burgundians, Ostrogoths, Daci,
  Belgae, Massagetae.

  Kimmeroii (Cimmerians) by the Greeks, established
  a reign of terror in Asia Minor. They finally
  migrated to Europe, to a place which they called

• Following the collapse of their Assyrian allies,
  the Scythians were driven north through the
  Caucasus by the Medes, and they settled in south
  Russia.

10
650-500 B C

• Cimmerians in Europe moved up the Danube and
  became known as Celts the English derivative of
  the Greek Keltoi.

525-300 B C

• Others driven out of south Russia by the
  Scythians moved north-west between the rivers
  Oder and Vistula to the Baltic, where they later
  became known as Cimbri.

400-100 B C

• The Celtic expansion from central Europe some
  attacked Rome in 390 BC and settled for 200 years
  in northern Italy others known as Galatians,
  after invading Greece in 279 BC, migrated to Asia
  Minor. Most of them moved west into France and
  later to Britain.

13
250-100 B C

• South Russia was invaded from the east by the
  Sarmatians, who drove the Scythians north-west
  through Poland into Germany.

• The Romans re-named the Scythians Germans
  ("genuine") to distinguish from the newly arrived
  Sarmatians in Scythia. Some of these came to
  Britain as Anglo-Saxons, AD 450-600 others,
  after moving north through Jutland, became known
  as Danes and Vikings. Some of these came directly
  to England, but others settled for a short time
  in France and were called Normans.
